John Ulrich talks about how and why he started the non-profit Roadracing World Action Fund, Inc. (RWAF) two decades ago, raising money to deploy Airfence and Alpina soft barriers. The effort changed the culture of motorcycle road racing in the U.S. for the better, by making attention to rider safety accepted and expected. If you see soft barriers at a racetrack in America, the chances are good that the 501(c)(3) Roadracing World Action Fund raised the money needed to pay for it.

Also, thanks to MotoUp for running a fund-raiser for RWAF this weekend at COTA.
