PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Roadracing World Action Fund will provide soft barriers for road races at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring Riders of Kawasaki, July 7-9, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

The air-filled barriers, which are owned by Roadracing World Action Fund and known by the trade name Airfence, will be in place along sections of the race course to protect riders.

“The AMA thanks John Ulrich and the Roadracing World Action Fund for providing soft barriers for the road races during AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring Riders of Kawasaki,” said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant.

The Roadracing World Action Fund, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization with a mission to help reduce rider injuries, provides soft barriers deployed at road race and dirt-track events. The inflated barriers are positioned in front of walls and other trackside obstacles and reduce the force of impact.

The Roadracing World Action Fund was founded in 2001 and relies on charitable donations to deploy soft barriers at sanctioned events nationwide. To donate, or for more information about the charity, see www.roadracingworld.com/actionfund.

For 2017, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring Riders of Kawasaki, will celebrate the riders and machines that have made Kawasaki motorcycles famous for more than five decades in America.
