COALINGA, CA (December 13)—Billet Racing Products (BRP) and the Salinas Ramblers Motorcycle Club (SRMC) hosted the "1st Annual BRP Save Clear Creek Fun Ride" on December 7-9, 2007. Over 250 riders from northern and southern California, many from AMA Districts 36 and 37 member clubs, attended the event to help raise funds to protect OHV access to the Clear Creek Management Area via the BlueRibbon Coalition's Legal Defense Fund.

The charity ride was the brainchild of BRP president, Jim Rios, and SRMC's Frank Rogers and Manuel Datan. The event was held on the club's 320 acre facility which is also the home base for the Picacho Creek Challenge National Hare Scrambles in February 2008. A donation of $6,000 was presented to the BlueRibbon Coalition's Legal Defense Fund at a special ceremony on December 9.

Jim Rios, president of BRP, stated, "This event was a true grassroots success. It not only raised funds for legal efforts to protect riding at Clear Creek but it also helped educate the participants about the need to be advocates for our sport."

"BRP is proud to have been given the opportunity to team up with SRMC at this first ever Fun Ride. It was made possible by the club's hard work and also support from numerous sponsors and affiliated organizations. A special thanks as well to the trail guides from the TimeKeepers Motorcycle Club. I know we are all looking forward to making this an annual event," Rios concluded.
