Despite Inclement Weather, Racing 2 Save Lives Surpasses Fund-Raising Record at Miller Motorsports Park TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH (May 7, 2007) “” Braving cold, wet and blustery weather, motorcycle enthusiasts from all over North America converged on Miller Motorsports Park this past weekend to ride the world-class road racing circuit in a fund-raising event organized by Racing 2 Save Lives (R2SL). And despite the inclement weather, R2SL managed to increase both the number of participants and their fund-raising results, collecting $70,000 to donate to children’s charities in Utah and Colorado. R2SL is a Colorado-based, 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children’s charities by raising awareness, involvement and capital within the motorcycle racing community through donations, corporate sponsorship and fund-raising events. All profits generated by R2SL are distributed among carefully selected organizations that have a significant impact on the lives of children in need and their families, split equally between charitable organizations in Utah and Colorado. Last year, R2SL attracted a record 350 participants from 19 states, Canada and England at Miller Motorsports Park and raised $65,000, half of which was distributed through Larry H. Miller Charities, and $27,000 of which went directly to local school districts. This year’s event, open to both street and racing bikes, attracted a total of 372 participants, some coming from as far away as New York. In addition, a number of celebrities showed up to ride and sign autographs, including AMA Pro Racing Yamaha factory riders Eric and Ben Bostrom, plus Celtic Racing’s young phenom Chaz Davies (AMA Formula Xtreme/Supersport) and 13-year-old 125GP prodigy P.J. Jacobson (USGPRU). A special treat was the appearance of Michael Czysz and the public debut of his revolutionary MotoCzysz 07 C1 990, the latest development of the bike that Czysz hopes will return an American manufacturer to international road racing to compete for a World Championship. R2SL executive director Stan Foxworthy was very pleased with the outcome of the weekend. “The motorcycle-enthusiast community continues to amaze me,” he said. “These people came out here from all over to ride one of the world’s best tracks and raise some money to help kids, and the cold weather, rain and wind didn’t faze them one bit. Our participants, volunteers and sponsors really stepped it up this year, and despite the weather, we were still able to attract a record number of participants and raise a record amount of money. It is very gratifying to watch this event mature, and to see the smiles on the faces of the riders when they come off the track, but that all pales in comparison to the knowledge that we’re making a difference in the lives of kids in Colorado and Utah. We can’t wait to come back next year and do it all over again.” Miller Motorsports Park CEO Alan Wilson said that the track is proud to be able to be a part of the R2SL effort. “Stan and Sharon Foxworthy are remarkable individuals,” he said, “and the hard work that they and their staff put into Racing 2 Save Lives is indicative of the best that the motorsports community has to offer. We are thrilled to be able to contribute to their cause, and to be a part of the effort to improve the lives of children. We look forward to having them back here next year, and for many years to come.” Riding 2 Save Lives is expanding to a two-event schedule this year, and will visit Virginia International Raceway near Danville, Va., for the first time during the week of August 14-17. Miller Motorsports Park will host Round 2 of the Miller Park Racing Association and Round 4 of the Icebreaker Kart Championship next weekend, May 11-13, and is preparing for its biggest event of the year, the Larry H. Miller Dealerships Utah Grand Prix Presented by The Grand and Little America Hotels, featuring the American Le Mans Series, scheduled for May 17-19.

Title chase hots up at Monza World Superbike Championship Round six: Monza, Italy Monday 7 May 2007 Event preview The 2007 World Superbike Championship heads to Italy this weekend for round six of the series at the picturesque Autodromo Nazionale di Monza near Milan. The racing is getting more exciting with every round as the title favourites step-up their campaigns – and Monza is sure to be no exception. James Toseland further extended his series lead at the fifth round at Assen after a spectacular battle with Troy Bayliss that will go down in Superbike history as one of the all-time greats. The British rider is now more aware than ever that he has to fight hard to reclaim the prestigious title of World Superbike Champion. With this in mind, his main aim for Monza is that elusive double win. Team-mate Roberto Rolfo is looking forward to the first of three events in his home country after he achieved his best result of the season so far at Assen. The Italian rider hopes to follow-up his impressive fifth-place finish with two strong performances in front of his home crowd at Monza. Ronald ten Kate, Team Manager: “With James still leading the championship and with the way he is riding at the moment, we don’t want to settle for anything less than two podiums at Monza. Having said that, we know that racing is very intense at this circuit so we will have to see what happens. For Roby, the second race at Assen gave him his best result of the season so hopefully we had a breakthrough for him there. It gives us something to build on and I am sure the Monza circuit will suit his riding style. The aim is to better his best result of the season there.” James Toseland: “We kept the winning streak going at Assen – although the double win escaped me yet again thanks to Troy! I hope I can carry it on at Monza and get another double podium. I wasn’t happy with my results at Monza last year – I had a high speed crash in race one and finished fifth in race two – so this year I hope to wipe out those memories with two successful races to keep and extend the championship lead.” Roberto Rolfo: “I am feeling good about my progress after the Assen round and I’m really looking forward to the first Italian round at Monza. I know I will have a lot of support in the crowd from HANNspree and the Italian team sponsors and I think that will make a lot of difference to me. Monza is a circuit that suits my style and now that I have a good feeling on the bike, I think I have a good chance of at least matching my results at Assen.” More, from another press release issued by Ten Kate Honda: Return of the Supersport dream team World Supersport Championship Round six: Monza, Italy Monday 7 May 2007 Event preview The sixth round of the 2007 World Supersport Championship will take place at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza near Milan this weekend. HANNspree Ten Kate Honda will contest the race at the 5.793km circuit with permanent riders Kenan Sofuoglu and Sébastien Charpentier aboard the CBR600RR. Sofuoglu heads to Italy with a huge 120-point tally in the championship standings after another stunning performance at Assen. The Turkish rider has so far racked up five podium finishes in as many rounds, including four race wins. He is looking to increase this to six podiums and five race wins after this weekend’s race in Monza. Charpentier made an admirable comeback at Assen after a month-long recovery from pelvic injuries sustained during the third round. The Frenchman is now confident that he is back to full race fitness. Last year’s Monza round saw Charpentier recover from a jump start penalty to finish third after a display of brilliant riding. He hopes to equal, if not beat this position in 2007. Ronald ten Kate, Team Manager: “Although Assen was a very memorable weekend for us in Supersport, we have to keep our focus on the future. We will come to Monza with our permanent riders Kenan and Sébastien. Kenan is riding on a high at the moment, and with Sébastien’s injuries healing well, we are expecting a good result from him at Monza. Hopefully we can make this round as memorable as the Assen race.” Kenan Sofuoglu: “I was on a high after Assen because I really did not expect to win the race with such strong competition. It was a tough contest but I was able to judge the situation well and I didn’t push hard until I needed to. I will take this approach again at Monza and I think I have a good chance of a podium finish. My aim is to be consistent and to finish in the top three – the race win would be a bonus.” Sébastien Charpentier: “I think at Assen I was probably 80 per cent fit – the circuit is very physical and it was not easy for me to finish the race. I was holding on with just my fingers by the end. For Monza, I am much closer to being 100 per cent fit and this is a less physical track so I am feeling confident about the race. I think I have a good chance of finishing on the podium – last year I finished third despite a jump start and going straight on at the chicane and in 2005 I was second – so it’s a good track for me. Plus, I am very motivated and the bike is very, very good so the odds are in our favour.”

Podium Joy for Shakey at Oulton 2007 Bennetts British Superbike Championship Round 4 Oulton Park, Cheshire Monday 7th May 2007 Stobart Vent Axia Motorsport rider Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne picked up his second podium of the season amidst changeable weather conditions in round four of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park today. Aboard the VK sponsored Honda Fireblade, the 30 year old Londoner followed up a sixth place finish in race one with a third place in the second race as the rain clouds threatened overhead. In the opening race Byrne was in the leading bunch and just missed out on a possible podium but made amends in the second race as he fended off Championship leader Gregorio Lavilla (Airwaves Ducati) for the final podium place on the last lap. Meanwhile rookie team mate Tom Sykes continued his impressive start to the campaign with another pair of solid points scoring rides at the Cheshire track. He too was only a fraction off a podium in the opening race, finishing in fifth, and briefly led race two until ending up in sixth place after another battling performance as he once again fended off a number of more illustrious rivals. As a result of the successful weekend Sykes lies in sixth position in the Championship, with Byrne in seventh going into the next round in two weeks time whereby Shakey is looking for his first win for the Paul Bird team and Sykes his first podium. Shane Byrne: “I’m a lot happier with that second race. In the first race the bike was good through the corners but not on the braking so we made some tweaks for race two and it was much better. I made hard work of passing Tommy Hill so it maybe could have been a second or a win. I’m looking forward to Snetterton now, its one place where you have to be brave on the brakes so if we have plenty of top speed there’s no reason why we can’t be up there again.” Tom Sykes: “It’s been a good weekend with more points and solid finishes and most of all I’ve gained a bit more experience. I got the holeshot in the second race which was quite nice and I had a little smile on my face. I was up there riding with the top riders who have so much more experience and I just didn’t quite have the pace of the front guys but it’s only my fourth Superbike race so I’m happy enough. The team have been superb and I think they are happy with my progress.” Paul Bird: “It’s been a fantastic day, both riders have done well and we are challenging for wins and in the thick of the action. Thanks to the boys for their hard work, and a big thanks to the sponsors also. We just need to improve each weekend now and we’re looking forward to Snetterton.” The next round of the Bennetts British Championship takes place next weekend at Snetterton, Norfolk in two weeks time (18th to 20th May).

More, from a press release issued by Suzuki Racing: SEASON BEST FOR CRUTCHLOW Rizla Suzuki’s Cal Crutchlow enjoyed the best ride of his Superbike career to date at the fourth round of the Bennetts British Championship at Oulton Park today taking a competitive seventh place in the opening race. Crutchlow, starting on the second row of the grid, was in contention with the leaders for much of the 17-lap race. He eventually matched his season’s best result of seventh but was crucially under 10 seconds behind the winner, demonstrating a marked improvement in his pace. In the second race he was in eighth when he was forced to retire on lap 12. Chris Walker, starting from 13th on the grid, crashed unhurt out of the opening race at the chicane. In the second race, at the 2.69-mile long Cheshire track, he finished ninth well ahead of his qualifying position. The first race was won by Ducati’s Gregorio Lavilla and the second by Honda’s Ryuichi Kiyonari. Rizla Suzuki will test at Mallory Park in Leicestershire this Friday, May 11th, before returning to race action at the fifth round of the Championship at Snetterton in Norfolk on May 20th. Cal Crutchlow: “I am absolutely delighted with my first race result of seventh. I was in touch with the leaders for most of the race and that shows a significant step forward in performance. I now know I can compete with the front runners, something which I hadn’t been able to do prior to this weekend. “In the second race we made a few changes to the bike that didn’t help and then I was forced to retire while comfortable in eighth place. Overall I feel as though I have moved up a level and will be taking that confidence with me into the rest of the season.” Chris Walker: “It has been a hard weekend. Right from the first session we were battling to find a competitive setting on my Rizla Suzuki that would allow me to compete. In the opening race I lost the front at the chicane and that was game over. In race two I ran on at the chicane and when I rejoined it was a lonely race to ninth. “The positives are that the GSX-R1000 is good and has all the ingredients to challenge for the podium – Cal and I have proved that. The test at Mallory Park later this week will help us and I think we can go to the next round confident we can improve on our results.” Simon Buckmaster – Team Manager: “Cal showed his maturity as a rider and a racer to score what is easily his best and most competitive result on a Superbike. He was unlucky in the second race when he was forced to retire but he can hold his head high given this was only his fourth BSB meeting. “Chris has not performed as we would have anticipated this weekend. Right from the start he struggled to find a comfortable setting on his bike and it showed in the races. In typical fashion though, he dug in and was unlucky with a crash in the opener before taking a top-10 finish in the second race. He will be very busy at our test at Mallory Park on Friday as he needs to find a better base setting to take to the next round.” Race One Result: 1: Gregorio Lavilla (Ducati) 27:29.245, 2: Leon Haslam (Ducati) +0.219, 3: Ryuichi Kiyonari (Honda) +0.504, 4: Jonathan Rea (Honda) +1.843, 5: Tom Sykes (Honda) +2.113, 6: Shane Byrne (Honda) +2.505, 7: Cal Crutchlow (Rizla Suzuki) +9.310, 8: Leon Camier (Honda) +11.524, 9: Karl Harris (Honda) +19.092, 10: Tommy Hill (Yamaha) +26.176, DNF: Chris Walker (Rizla Suzuki).

AMA EXTENDS SYMPATHY TO FAMILY OF FALLEN RIDER PICKERINGTON, Ohio (May 7, 2007) The American Motorcyclist Association offers heartfelt condolences to the family of Ethan Gillim, 10, of Philpot, Ky. Gillim passed away from injuries suffered in a racing accident Saturday, May 5, at the Paducah International Raceway in the Southeast Amateur Nationals, a round of the AMA Sports Black Cat Gold Dirt Track Championships. According to reports provided to AMA Flat Track Director Ken Saillant by the event promoter, Gillim lost control of his motorcycle and crashed during a heat race. Gillim was transported to nearby Lourdes Hospital but passed away later Saturday evening. Paducah International Raceway was planning on canceling all races Sunday, but the Gillim family asked that the races continue in memory of their son. Ethan Gillim was a second cousin to well known motorcycle racing brothers, Tommy, Nicky and Roger Lee Hayden. Their father, Earl Hayden, helped sponsor young Ethan. “We are stunned and saddened at Ethan’s passing,” said Saillant. “Many of us at the AMA watched Ethan come up through the ranks over the past few years and it was obvious that Ethan had a bright future in the sport. We extend our deepest sympathies to both the Gillim and Hayden families.” Ethan was considered one of the leading youth riders in America. He was a multi-time AMA Amateur National Champion and earned the AMA Sports Youth Dirt Tracker of the Year award in 2004, and also nominated for the 2004 AMA Sports Youth Rider of the Year. Ethan is survived by his parents, Frankie and Kerrie Gillim, and brothers, Frankie Lee, and Hayden. Arrangements are being made by the family.
