Learn More About the Event That Speed TV's "Two Wheeled Tuesday" Has Televised Twice, an Event Featured Also on KING 5's "Evening Magazine" with John Curley.    Brian Orton, Co-owner of 2Fast Motorcycle Track Days & Instruction, is co-founder and Vice President of the non-profit NephCure Foundation (www.nephcure.org), the only organization in the world dedicated solely to the cause and cure of glomerular kidney disease – which affects his young son, Christian. Christian was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome at the age of only 10 months. This condition occurs when kidney filters malfunction and protein needed by the body is instead lost though urine. Swelling occurs throughout the body, especially around the eyes and limbs, cholesterol soars, and hospitalization is generally required. Long-term effects of Nephrotic Syndrome can cause Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), kidney scarring that can require daily dialysis, or a kidney transplant.

Although Nephrotic Syndrome (estimated to affect only five out of every 100,000 children) has no established cure, Orton’s son responded positively to steroid treatments. These treatments do not always prove effective; thus, Orton also utilized naturopathic therapies... and a lot of prayer.

      

Thankfully, Christian has been in remission for 8 years now, and doctors are amazed with how well he is doing. Yet Brian wants to ensure that a cause and cure are found for those who have not been as fortunate. Thus, 2Fast, Brian Orton, and Mark DeGross will together promote the sixth annual Seattle 100 (S100) motorcycle "lapathon" event, which will take place on Saturday, July 26th, 2008 at Pacific Raceways.  Many superstars of road racing are expected to attend, along with some celebrity friends of 2Fast.  Past guests of prior S100 events have included AMA road racing stars Ben Spies of Yoshimura Suzuki, Aaron Yates of Jordan Suzuki, Jake Zemke of American Honda,  Josh Hayes of Erion Honda, Jason Disalvo of Team Yamaha, Chaz Davies of Attack Kawasaki,  Aaron Gobert of Erion Honda, Danny Eslick of Matsushima Suzuki,  local sensation Jake Holden of Corona Honda, Greg White of Speed TV's "2 Wheel Tuesday",  and even comedian/actor David Alan Grier.

Which racers will join us this year?   See the list of our 2008 VIP guests below and their pictures.   If you love racing and wish you could ride alongside some of the world's best motorcycle riders,  this is your chance!    The Seattle 100 is an opportunity unlike any other in the nation!

The Seattle 100 is open to anyone who would like to ride, even if you've never been to a track day before.  In fact, there is no admission fee to participate in the Seattle 100.  Yes, it’s a free trackday for all – and includes catering, awards, one-on-one time with our special VIP guests, a celebrity exhibition event, our dinner banquet and auction, and so much more!  However, 2Fast asks that each participant raise a required minimum of $500 in order to claim a spot in the S100, because spaces are limited and filling up quickly. The $500 minimum is easy to raise and need not come out of the rider’s own pocket: friends, family, co-workers and others (corporate matching programs included) are typically happy to support a rider’s efforts to participate in this unique charitable event, and last year’s average donation per rider was nearly $1000. Most who rode in the event found it easy to find donors to support their fundraising efforts, had fun getting involved in the charitable purpose of the event, and some went beyond the call of duty by raising several thousand dollars rather than the minimum $500.

Each rider is asked to choose between one of three different riding groups to participate in each hour: our "relaxed" group for those wanting to take it easy, our "intermediate" group for those who want to ride a little faster, and our "expert" group being the choices - each with a limit of approximately 33 riders per session. Each riding group is on the track for 20 minutes per hour. (For more information about our riding levels and which group to select, click here).

Last year’s fifth annual Seattle 100 (click one of the high or low quality links below for Speed TV's coverage of the 2005 or 2004 event) was incredibly successful, with total donations exceeding $145,000. 2Fast would like to give special thanks to Ben Spies, Danny Eslick, Chaz Davies, and Jake Holden for their support.  $150,000 is our goal for 2008!  With 110% effort, we can do it!  2Fast would like to give special thanks also to Renton Motorcycles, Kibble & Prentice, Ride Motorsports, SB Motorsports, Performance Coatings, Leo Vince, Skagit Powersports, MTR Western Coaches, WMRRA,  Teknic, MotoCAM, RV Town, Western Poersports, Cyclebarn, Ducati NA, & GP Suspension North and the long list of motorcycle shops and customers who supported 2Fast and the Seattle 100 riders in the 2007 Seattle 100.  Whereas the first ever Seattle 100 had only 12 riders and raised pledges totaling $18,000, last year’s event had 90+ riders and raised over $145,000!  For all who participated in the last Seattle 100, it was a wonderful time, and all of us can hardly wait for the 2008 event expecting that we’ll have even more riders and donations on July 26^th, 2008.
