< Back to News Home Team Sahlen's Will Nonnamaker supports the Charity Ride at Laguna Seca

Posted (05/22/2007) - Team Sahlen's Will Nonnamaker took part in the special Charity Ride that was part of the Laguna Seca race weekend. The Charity Ride took place on Saturday, May 19 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the famed 2.238-mile road course. A host of Rolex Sports Car Series drivers, including Max Papis, Darren Law, Randy Ruhlman, Spencer Pumpbelly, and Will Nonnamaker took part in the tour
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Special Reserve, and The Print Network (the preferred print provider of Grand-Am) gave fans an opportunity to pedal through the corkscrew for the Sunset Bicycle Ride on Saturday of the U.S. Sports Car Invitational delivered by Luggage Express May 18-20. The special ride was included in the price of a two-day admission ticket, with a portion of the ticket donated to Camp Boggy Creek and the Laguna Seca Raceway Fund.
Will had to act fast after the conclusion of the Saturday afternoon ROLEX GT race to make it over to the start of the event. For this event, Will was able to purchase a very nice used bike from his local bike store - Gemini Bicycle - so that he could leave his regular bike at home for his regular rides with the Start County Bicycle Club. Will was sporting the special edition Team Sahlen Velo jersey. The jersey displayed the Sahlen's logo, HRPWorld.com and TheRaceSite.com
"Riding this track was quite a challenge. The uphills are very steep, and going down the hills, you can pick up a lot of speed. It was really fun riding the course with the fans. Hopefully this will become a yearly tradition at Laguna Seca." - stated Will Nonnamaker
Camp Boggy Creek is a year-round camp for children ages 7-16 who have chronic or life threatening illnesses. The camp, one of Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camps, allows children whose lives have been a series of medical procedures and hospital stays to enjoy traditional camp activities as just a "kid." Surrounded by other campers "just like them" they escape the loneliness and isolation they may feel the rest of the year. No child or family pays to attend the family weekends or weeklong summer sessions. Camp Boggy Creek is solely supported by contributions and donations from individuals, corporations and foundations and is a proud charity of Grand American Road Racing.
The Laguna Seca Raceway Fund was established as a 501.3C Corporation with the objective of raising funds to finance future improvements to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca was built 50 years ago by a not-for-profit volunteer organization, SCRAMP (Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula) and has been run ever since by that same organization. Without the deep pockets of an owner, the Laguna Seca Raceway Fund raises money for improvements and upgrades that benefit both competitors and race fans.
