New Kawasaki Up for Grabs at Charity Fundraiser

Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic Cruiser Headlines Charity Fundraiser at AMA
Weekend 

 

PROCEEDS FROM NORTHBAY MOTORSPORT & MARINE CHARITY FUNDRAISER BENEFIT
YOUTH GROUPS IN SONOMA COUNTY

 

SONOMA, Calif. (April 5, 2007) - Dreams will come true at Infineon
Raceway as one lucky person will leave the Sonoma Valley on a brand-new
Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic Cruiser at the Kawasaki AMA Superbike
Showdown, Sunday, May 20.

 

The Vulcan 900 Classic will highlight the 4th annual Northbay Motorsport
& Marine Charity Fundraiser, which will take place Sunday morning in the
Wine Country Winner's Circle. The auction will feature signed
memorabilia from top AMA riders, including Ben Spies and Mat Mladin from
Suzuki, and Jamie Hacking and Roger Hayden from Kawasaki.

 

The featured item will be the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic Cruiser, which
will be given away in a drawing format. The drawing begins this Friday,
April 6, at Two-Wheel Thunder at Infineon Raceway. Top AMA teams
Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha will test the road course in advance
of the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts, in May.
Admission to Two-Wheel Thunder is free.

 

Race fans will be able to purchase tickets on Friday for the big drawing
in the Wine Country Winner's Circle beginning at 9 a.m. Cost is $50 per
ticket. 

 

The best part is all proceeds from the fundraiser benefit needy youth
groups in Sonoma County through Speedway Children's Charities, the
charitable arm of Infineon Raceway. Event organizers hope to generate
$12,000 from the drawing, and another $10,000 from the auction. The
motorcycle has been generously donated by Pete Fitzmyers and Jamie
McCulloch, owners of Northbay Motorsport & Marine, which is based in
Santa Rosa.

 

            "I am always thrilled to be able to help out our local
charities and Speedway Children's Charities is a good one," McCulloch
said. "The fact that it involves Infineon Raceway and the drawing will
occur on AMA weekend is just icing on the cake."

 

SCC has distributed more than $2.1 million to needy youth groups in
Sonoma County since 2002, including more than $500,000 in 2006.

 

Tickets for the drawing will be sold through early Sunday morning of the
upcoming AMA weekend in May. If you are unable to attend Two-Wheel
Thunder on Friday, but would like to purchase raffle tickets, contact
Denise Silver at 707-933-3950 or dsilver@infineonraceway.com. For
