Ambucs Volunteers Flag at the Ponca City Grand Nationals‏

Riverside, CA (July 26, 2010) – With the Ponca City Grand Nationals
officially under way this week, the Brett Downey Safety Foundation doesn't
think it would be complete without giving proper accolades to Ambucs.
Ambucs is an integral part of this annual event, not only because of the
major role they play in the Grand Nationals being held in Ponca City, but
also because they take safety seriously. All of the flaggers out on the
track this week are working for Ambucs. With the help of the Brett Downey
Safety Foundation’s representative, Richard White, each of the Ambucs
workers will be trained and given proper safety knowledge and instruction.
All of the flagger staff takes their job very seriously to help ensure
each and every rider has a fair chance to have the safest race possible.
The Brett Downey Safety Foundation will also be passing out awards and
prizes to the top performing flaggers as added incentive.

The Ponca City Grand National MX Championship has been held every year in
Ponca City since 1978. NMA, Ambucs and The City of Ponca City work
together to bring the finest National Championship race to Ponca City. The
race is the largest single event in Ponca City and the money raised from
