A virtually brand-new Suzuki GSX-R750 could be yours as Infineon Raceway hosts a benefit motorcycle track day for injured AMA rider Vincent Haskovec on Tuesday, Nov. 7. The fund-raiser is being hosted by 3J's Motorcycle Track Days.
The motorcycle track day, which will feature a full day of riding on the raceway's twisting road course, has attracted 150 riders, including six-time AMA Superbike champion Mat Mladin (Suzuki).
In fact, Mladin is purchasing a new GSX-R750 for the event, and once the track day is over, the brand-new motorcycle will be raffled off. Raffle tickets cost $100 each and can be purchased by contacting Jenah Smith at 707-933-3990 or by email at jsmith@infineonraceway.com. You can also purchase raffle tickets the day of the event. The raffle winner does not need to be present to win.
"We really have to thank Mat for his tremendous generosity," said Jere Starks, vice president of facilities at Infineon Raceway, who created 3J's Motorcycle Track Days in 2003 with friends Jim Randolph and Jay Brosius. "We are hoping to raise $60,000 for Vincent through this track day, and Mat's contribution will play a big part. We can't thank him enough."
Tickets still remain for the second function of the day, a Spaghetti Feed and Auction, which will also be held at the raceway. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m., with dinner set for 6:30 p.m.
The evening will also feature an auction with more than 30 items on the line, including a signed pair of Alpinestars racing gloves donated by 2006 American MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden. For a list of available items, please visit www.3jstrackdays.com.
The entire day is a benefit for Haskovec, who was injured as a result of an accident at an AMA event at Infineon Raceway in 2005 and is currently receiving care and living in Arizona. Haskovec will be in attendance at both the track day and dinner.
Starks, Randolph and Brosius, who are all avid motorcycle riders, have hosted nine 3J's Motorcycle Days at Infineon Raceway, raising more than $100,000 for qualified youth groups in Sonoma County through Speedway Children's Charities, the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway. This marks the second fund-raiser for Haskovec - the first generated $40,000 last year.
If you cannot attend the fund-raiser but would like to contribute, make your check payable to the NEXT STEP FOUNDATION and mail c/o Jere Starks at Infineon Raceway (Highways 37 and 121, Sonoma, CA. 95476). For more information on the day, please visit www.3jstrackdays.com.
