The Roadracing World Action Fund has deployed 34 sections of Airfence soft barrier so far this year, at racetracks from California to New Jersey and various points between. Donations have reached $932,429 over 11 years, and could top the $1 million mark by the end of this year, thanks to the motorcycle road racing community coming together to help prevent riders from being seriously injured when they crash on the racetrack.

MAKING DONATING A HABIT…

Beginning in 2002, Mr. & Mrs. Fred Bittner have donated repeatedly to the Roadracing World Action Fund, usually in increments of $2900 - an amount large enough to purchase an entire section of Airfence soft barrier at the time. Their latest contribution of $2900 brings their all-time donation total to $24,050 with $19,850 designated for road race, and $4200 for dirt track.

Bob Robbins has donated to the Roadracing World Action Fund every year since 2005. In 2009 he donated proceeds from selling his team's (Team S-Works) crew shirts. For 2010, he sold his race truck, and wrote, "a portion (of the sale) was earmarked for the fund. Keep up the great work! I owe more than a yearly donation to this important program." For 2011, Robbins' contribution was $2000, bringing his grand total to $9150.

Keith Souter is a regular Roadracing World Action Fund contributor who always donates in person while attending motorcycle races or other events where Roadracing World has a booth. Since 2007, Souter has donated four times at Laguna Seca and twice at Fontana, and his most recent donations, $100 at the Long Beach motorcycle show in December and $100 during the World Superbike weekend at Miller Motorsports Park, have brought his grand total to $1000.

Gary McQuiston began contributing to the Roadracing World Action Fund in 2004, with a donation of $150 in memory of Bill Parr. He has continued to donate steadily through the years, in increments of $50 to $100. This year's contribution of $100 brings his grand total to $500.
