Trade Food for AMA Superbike Tickets at Thanksgiving Food Drive


SONOMA, Calif. Race fans and community members
will again have the opportunity to help feed the less fortunate this
holiday season with the 5th annual Infineon Raceway Thanksgiving Food
Drive.  And, as a gift for their generosity, participants will be
rewarded with tickets to the 2006 AMA Superbike event at Infineon
Raceway.  

 

Infineon Raceway will again partner with Mary's Pizza Shack, Froggy 92.9
FM, Destination RKA and Friends in Sonoma Helping (FISH) to help ensure
that needy families in Sonoma County have enough to eat this winter.
Infineon Raceway and its partners have donated more than 5,000 pounds of
non-perishable food items to FISH since 2000, and this year's goal is
set at a lofty 2,000 pounds. 

 

 Those who donate four or more non-perishable food items will be
rewarded with a free ticket to AMA Superbike qualifying on Friday, May
19, at Infineon Raceway.  Only two tickets will be allowed per family.
Those who donate food at any of the satellite locations (see below), or
by mail, will receive their ticket vouchers by mail.   

 

The public is encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the
raceway during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.)
from Oct. 24 - Nov. 18.  The raceway is located at 29355 Arnold Dr.,
Sonoma, CA 95476 (800-870-RACE or www.infineonraceway.com
