Jessica Zalusky to participate in fundraising event in Colorado

Jessica Zalusky, a well-respected, national-level female motorcycle
roadracer, has made plans to attend the Racing 2 Save Lives (R2SL)
event in Colorado.

For those who are not acquainted with Jessica, she is a fourth year pro
motorcycle road-racer, who races in the AMA Superbike Championship
Series. Jessica races along side the men and was the only female to
race a majority of the AMA Roadracing Circuit for the last 3 years.
After many great finishes in 2002, Jessica finished 9th in the overall
standing for the Pro Thunder class and continues on to race in both
Supersport and Superstock.

For the second year running, R2SL riders/racers will have the
opportunity to ride endurance style, clocking laps and using donations
and pledges to pave their way at the only AMA sanctioned venue in
Colorado…Pikes Peak International Raceway (PPIR).

The event will run from 9am – 6pm from May 11th to May 13th, allowing
riders/racers from across the country to come and contribute towards a
great cause, while riding an AMA roadracing venue. Thereafter on May
14th-May 15th, the MRA (Motorcycle Roadracing Association) will allow
racers to log their laps raced towards our total goal while competing
in sprint class races.

Racing 2 Save Lives is a 501c3 organization that raises money to
benefit 5 Children’s Charities – The Children’s Hospital, Missing
Children Task Force, Family Pathways of Colorado, Make a Wish
Foundation of Colorado and Here’s Life Inner City – Denver. R2SL was
founded by Colorado roadracers and enthusiasts who desired to
“give-back” to the community in a meaningful way. For more information,

Online Signup Now Available at www.racing2savelives.org

The much-anticipated online signup for the Racing 2 Save Lives (R2SL) Children’s Charity event (May 11-13 at Pikes Peak Int’l Raceway) is now live through R2SL’s web site. By registering via the web site, participants can create a profile for themselves, reserve garage spaces in PPIR’s pro-level paddock, and even pre-pay their minimum donations online.

R2SL is also pleased to announce another new feature for 2005 – online pledge entry! During R2SL’s inaugural 2004 event, riders donated a significant amount by having their friends and family pledge towards the miles they rode. This year, R2SL has made that process even easier by letting anyone pledge towards a rider through the website.

“We have also integrated our transponders with the web site, allowing us to provide daily tracking of miles, goals, and donations,” explained Ralph Forsythe, Operations Director for R2SL. “This new system will streamline the sign-in and participation process, and give participants more time to ride”. “Of course, anyone is welcome to sign up and ride when they arrive at PPIR, and pre-registration is not mandatory”. They do highly recommend it however, as it offers the riders a much more interactive experience with Racing 2 Save Lives.

Anyone wishing to sign up to ride in our 2005 event should visit www.racing2savelives.org, and follow the link to Online Signup.
