From a press release issued by Kurt Marmor’s publicist:

RACE TEAM MAKES MOTOR SPORTS HISTORY

(Springfield, IL) In an effort to raise awareness and support for our fighting troops a new race team has been formed. A first in motor sports history, Strike Force Racing will be funded with contributions from the American people and will compete in the AMA Superbike Series. The motorcycle road race series competes coast to coast with all races televised nationally. A website has been built to accept donations at http://www.strikeforceracing.com. Contributions are now being accepted. Sponsor’s include individual motorcycle enthusiasts, groups of friends, clubs and businesses and they are contributing $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500 dollars. Corporate packages are also available. Each contributor that signs up to be a member of the Strike Force Racing Team will receive team merchandise ranging from T-shirts, signed Posters and Hats to race tickets and names of contributors on the team transporter. Merchandise incentives are listed on the website at: http://www.strikeforceracing.com.

At the helm of the Strike Force Racing bike will be long time series veteran Kurt Marmor with Crew Chief Grant Matsushima, who has turned wrenches for past series champions. Marmor has competed in the series for the past eight years. He says this season will be his finest because he’s doing it for the troops. “We are dedicating this season to the men and women who are fighting for our country overseas. The bike, leathers, and trailer will be in the great red, white, and blue colors. We want to give the fans a chance to be a part of Team Strike Force. By giving the fans the opportunity to become a part of the team, they have a vested interest in our success. They also have a team of their own to cheer on at the races and on TV.”

Through Team Strike Force, the fans are helping a privateer battle against the factory race teams in the 600 Super Sport, and the 750 Super Stock classes.
