TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH “” A once-in-a-lifetime experience will be available to motorcycle enthusiasts when Racing 2 Save Lives (R2SL) returns to Miller Motorsports Park May 3-6, as four lucky auction winners will be able to have a hour of exclusive on-track training with motorcycle racing superstars Eric or Ben Bostrom. R2SL will hold an auction on its website, www.racing2savelives.org, starting at 5:00 pm MT on Wednesday, April 18, and ending at 11:59 pm MT on Friday, April 27, offering two one-hour sessions with Eric Bostrom and two one-hour sessions with Ben Bostrom. The on-track sessions are scheduled for 10:30 am 11:30 am on Saturday, May 5, and Sunday, May 6. R2SL is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children’s charities by raising awareness, involvement, and capital within the motorcycling community through donations, corporate sponsorship and fund-raising events. All profits generated by R2SL, including the auction proceeds, will be distributed among carefully selected organizations that have a significant impact on the lives of children-in-need, and their families. The Bostrom brothers have been strong supporters of R2SL since its inception, and admit to enjoying the tutoring sessions as much as the auction winners. “In an hour you can learn a lot,” said Ben. “Usually only a factory rider gets this chance. To have the track to themselves with an instructor is huge.” “It’s a unique opportunity all the way around,” Eric concurred, “especially at a world-class facility like Miller, and the bonus is that it’s for a good cause!” During the four-day R2SL event, motorcycle riders will be able to ride on Miller Motorsports Park’s state-of-the-art track on both street and racing bikes, with separate tracks set up for each group. The R2SL event represents the best value in motorcycle track time of the season at MMP. Riders interested in participating should visit the R2SL website at www.racing2savelives.org, where classes and fees are detailed. Last year, R2SL attracted a record 350 participants and raised $65,000, half of which was distributed through Larry H. Miller Charities, and $27,000 of which went directly to the Tooele and Grantsville school districts. The event is open to both street and racing bikes, with separate tracks set up for each group.
