Northbay Motorsport & Marine Charity Fundraiser Generates Nearly $15,000 for Speedway Children’s Charities SONOMA, Calif. (May 21, 2007) – Nearly $15,000 was raised on Sunday at Infineon Raceway during the 4th annual Northbay Motorsport & Marine Charity Fundraiser. The fundraiser was held as part of the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown weekend, presented by Supercuts. The auction generated $14,580 for Speedway Children’s Charities, the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway. All proceeds will be distributed to qualified youth groups in Sonoma County. The amount was a one-year record for the auction, which has been held annually at the raceway since 2004. More than 30 items were featured with the top sellers being a LeoVince exhaust system ($1,200), Jamie Hacking signed leathers ($900) and a Nicky Hayden giclee print ($700). Of the $14,580 that was raised, $5,200 was generated from a drawing for a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic Cruiser. The Cruiser was donated by Northbay Motorsport & Marine, out of Santa Rosa. The bike was won by John Thompson, a captain at the Vallejo Fire Department, who lives in Forestville.
