I hope it helps out in the form of freight, tax or import duties. I know this is barely a drop in the bucket, but it’s really about all I can afford right now.

My plan is to wear the shirts to the gathering on Friday night and all day Saturday. My job is to pick up crashed bikes, not crashed dudes! I also received a sponsorship from the local Suzuki dealer of shirts for one day for the Crash Truck crew’s for one day. Someone made the comment to me,’With all that safe Air Fence, won’t that put you out of a job?’ To the contrary, it just makes it a whole lot safer for us to be out there doing what we LOVE. My e-mail is to also CHALLENGE any corner workers, Safety Personal, EMTs,etc. We will personally bring our pledge then. I called in a pledge of $111 for the ‘Road Atlanta Crash Truck Crews.’ I put up the initial $111 and the rest of my crews will add to it by Friday, May 18th. Me and some of my friends will be working the three crash trucks at the Big Kahuna next weekend.

Best wishes.”Ī member of The Road Atlanta Crash Truck Crew wrote: “My name is Mike Marquez. It could save their lives one day and is something that everyone should at least contribute a little something. The boys are happy to contribute to such a good cause and are grateful to you for taking the time and effort to raise the money.

I’m hoping that your Air Fence project will get Air Fence installed on the outside of Turn Nine next year. Instead of starring at his own funeral next week, he’ll be heading off to race at Road Atlanta. After watching Aaron Yates bounce up after going head-first into the Air Fence-protected wall, I’m TOTALLY convinced of its effectiveness. I saw that wall end several riding careers, and destroy more motorcycles. He broke both ankles when he landed on the downslope of the drainage ditch by the highway. The bike flipped up and hurled him completely over the track boundary fence. On lap one of a 450cc Production race in 1979 a guy went into the wall head-on directly in front of me.
