Second Annual Seattle 100 Fundraiser Planned!

The second annual “Seattle 100 - Racing Towards a Cure for Kidney Disease” will take place on Wednesday, September 8, 2004 at Pacific Raceway's road course (formerly Seattle International Raceway) in Auburn , WA . The event will go from approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. , with time to celebrate the day's festivities and good cause afterwards. The purpose of the event is to raise money to further the NephCure mission to support research seeking the cause of Nephrotic Syndrome and FSGS, improve treatment and find the cure. The Seattle 100 was created by NephCure Vice President and co-founder Brian Orton , whose son was diagnosed with minimal change nephrotic syndrome at ten months of age. Thankfully, Christian has been in remission for 3 years now, and doctors are amazed with how well he is doing.

The Seattle 100 is not a race. It's a road course endurance event for charity, with event riders attempting to complete 100 laps around the course by the lap deadline of 4pm . While speed will play a role in the event, because completing 100 laps is the equivalent of 230 miles, it will not be a sprint-type race. Nobody wins any prizes for crossing a finish line, or completing 100 laps first.

Professional motorcycle road racer Jason Pridmore will be joining us for this year's Seattle 100 fundraising event at Pacific Raceways. Erion Honda racing star Jake Zemke will join in the festivities as well. Depending on his standings at the time of the event, he may or may not ride a Honda with us... but he'll be there to meet and greet fans, as well as fill in as a 2Fast guest instructor.
