The Race4life Foundation is proud to announce partnership with Sweet Springs Motorsports complex to benefit the MRMF on May23-25 www.michaelrossmemorialfoundation.com . The volunteers at  SSMC  have taken on the task of hosting the 3rd annual Race4life, as it gears up to be the largest in its brief history.    Race4life 2008 will have several additions to insure a bigger & better family experience for all.   With more prizes, classes, and opportunity to give back, we are looking forward to the holiday weekend of May 23-25 for 3 nights of racing.  Too often, we take for granted the health and abilities God has granted us.  We hope you and your race family can join us in a weekend of racing and helping others who are less fortunate.

Kids IMPACTING! Kids Program-

The first exciting announcement is the advancement to the Kids IMPACTING!

This year we will be reserving 4 spots in the qualifying trophy dash for the 4 top fund raising youth.  This will insure them at minimum a spot in the first 4 rows of the A main on the final night.  
All participants will receive prizes ranging from Drivers gloves to Brand new helmets.  Additional information can be found above in the download section.  Start your fund raising today!

Last Years Race 4 Life News-


 
In its 2nd year of existence, the Race4life 600cc sprint race proved again to be a success.   The biggest challenge for everyone involved was going from an inaugural race of 15 local cars to a monster of 128 national entries in one year.   The challenge proved to be large but with many good people keeping eyes on what the events true purpose was it became a reality.    In the first two years we have proudly provided over $25,000 in donations for both local & national charities. Racers & sponsors together are credited for this achievement.   While the sponsors support created a venue that provided charitable proceeds, the racers created for themselves a large purse to encourage the concept.  In two years the racers have awarded themselves with over $47,000 in cash prizes for their support.  The prize money was a product of entry fees, pit passes, & T-shirt sales.     This dollar figure does not include the contingency or product prizes given away. With that being said we wish to sincerely thank all sponsors & racers for helping make this a reality.  We look forward to the possibility of future Race4life events.  Race4life is a nonprofit 100% volunteer driven program.  Help is needed in many ways.  Please look for future announcements on our needs. Tracks located in Iowa & Nebraska have now hosted this event.  We have a series & several tracks that have already expressed interest.  We have also seen many tracks forming there own style Race4life events & support & encourage those efforts    .  Any questions or comments please contact kaw@mtcnet.net

Young Ambassador story

Another Notable mention is young Devon Huff from Nixa Mo.   At Age 11 he has a promising future with a Rookie year that has impressed many in the 600cc sprint industry.  Devon Stood out amongst the crowed in a another way during Race4life 2007 as he independently raised over $2500 for the charities.  Going from business to business Devon grasped the true meaning of this event then any other competitor.    

Devon participated in our Kids helping kids program & received the young ambassador award for his efforts.  Thanks Devon!!!  We have also attached Devon's résumé for his best interest and to express our gratitude.
