Brett Downey Safety Foundation Welcomes Richard White

Riverside,
CA (March 15, 2010) – The Brett Downey Safety Foundation has
been an
integral part of the amateur motocross community since 2004.
During
this time, the Foundation has spent a significant amount of time
and
effort ensuring the safety of riders, spectators and the sport itself.
It
is in this spirit, that the Brett Downey Safety Foundation is pleased
to
welcome Richard White to the team.

Richard has been around
motorcycles his entire life. His son, Richard
White, Jr. started
racing around 5 years old which got the entire family
heavily
involved in the sport of motocross. As the years went by, Richard
got
involved at Lake Whitney helping Sharon Johnson whenever the call
came. 
He started refereeing the races there and subsequently his
experience
evolved from there. In 2001, Richard and his wife, Donna, had
the
opportunity to become involved with Oakhill MX Park. They promoted and
ran
the track all the while traveling with their son, while Richard did
the
D&S trackside support truck. This gave him the opportunity to be
involved
in all aspects of the races from a vendor to an official and most
importantly
a dad. D&S Kawasaki gave him an excellent opportunity to grow
within
the sport and become more involved. During time he also became the
NMA
regional manager for the Texas region, which again helped him
understand
the sport's ins and outs. In 2005, the GNC final came to
Oakhill MX
Park which gave Richard even more opportunity to be involved in
every
aspect.  And as of the 2010 Lake Whitney Spring Classic and moving
into
the 2010 GNC finals this week, Richard is now assisting the Brett
Downey
Safety Foundation get the message out about the importance of
safety,
etiquette and awareness to the riders and their families. We are
excited
for him to be a part of our team in 2010. Feel free to let Richard
know
how much you appreciate all his hard work spreading the word about
safety
and enforcing it.
