For decades, the Motorcycle Roadracing Association (MRA) has been committed to one core principle: Making motorcycle road racing as safe as possible for every rider who takes the track. That commitment is shared by a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has had a profound impact on the sport across the country, the Roadracing World Action Fund, Inc. (RWAF).
Over the years, the MRA has built a strong and ongoing relationship with the RWAF, centered around a shared goal: Improving rider safety through real, tangible solutions. Like many clubs across the country, the MRA has both benefited from and contributed to this community-driven effort.
The Roadracing World Action Fund has played a leading role in one of the most important safety advancements in modern motorcycle racing: The widespread use of inflatable soft barriers, commonly known as Airfence. These soft barriers have significantly reduced the severity of rider injuries by absorbing impact in high-risk areas of racetracks.
- A Meaningful Impact in Colorado
The partnership between the MRA and the RWAF has translated directly to increased safety at our events here in Colorado. Through RWAF support, Airfence has been supplied and deployed in key sections of our racetrack, helping mitigate risk in areas where it matters most.
This hasn’t been a one-time effort. Over multiple seasons, the MRA has worked alongside the RWAF not only to utilize this equipment, but to better understand its deployment, maintenance, and long-term value. That collaboration has helped strengthen our safety program and reinforce best practices within our organization.
As a club, the MRA has also taken pride in giving back by supporting the RWAF through awareness, participation, and contributions, recognizing that this program exists because of the racing community behind it.
- A Community-Driven Effort
What makes the Roadracing World Action Fund so impactful is the community that powers it. Racers, clubs, industry partners, and fans all play a role in expanding access to this life-saving equipment.
The relationship between the MRA and the Action Fund is a reflection of that model — a collaborative effort where knowledge, resources, and support are shared to benefit the sport as a whole.
- Investing in the Future of Safety
As the sport continues to evolve, so does the technology that protects those who participate in it. The Action Fund remains at the forefront, helping bring updated and improved safety equipment to organizations like ours.
As part of that ongoing effort, the program has plans in 2026 to repair and replace sections of existing Airfence, ensuring that the equipment deployed at events continues to meet the highest safety standards. This continued investment is critical to maintaining the level of protection riders have come to rely on.
The continued support from RWAF allows the MRA to keep raising the bar for safety at our events while building on a partnership that has developed over many seasons.
