Miguel Duhamel to Race AMA Superbike at Laguna Seca for Moto Forza / NovaTac Racing To Raise Awareness of TERI Services for Children and Adults with Autism

ESCONDIDO, CA - July 13, 2010 - Escondido, California, Ducati, Husqvarne. motorcycle, dealer, used, parts, service, financing, Moto Forza, southern California Ducati Dealer, and NovaTac have teamed up with legendary racer, Miguel Duhamel, who will enter the Laguna Seca round of the AMA Superbike series to help raise awareness of the programs and services offered through TERI (Training, Education & Research Institute) a private, non-profit agency serving the needs of children and adults with autism and other developmental and learning disabilities, and their families.

Miguel Duhamel is returning to road racing on a Moto Forza-prepared Ducati 1098R to contest the American Superbike race at Laguna Seca, held in conjunction with the MotoGP event on July 25th. The Moto Forza - NovaTac racing team partnered with TERI, in an effort to raise awareness for this rapidly expanding disability. "We are very happy to have the opportunity to combine our passion for racing with TERI's efforts. We applaud their openness to explore new avenues of communication to bring this growing disability to the public's eye, and to have Miguel Duhamel join us in that effort is simply phenomenal" said Renggli, owner of Moto Forza.

The Laguna Round is planned to be a onetime event for Moto Forza - NovaTac racing and Miguel Duhamel. Renggli was optimistic when he went on to say ,"At this point we are only looking to do this one event. If we can secure funding, more races later this year may be possible. We will continue to work with TERI and our current sponsors to see what we can put together after Laguna."

Moto Forza would like to thank its current sponsors who helped to make this effort possible: NovaTac, Akrapovic, STM, Catalyst Racing Composites, and TERI. Donations to TERI may be sent from their website at Home .

I know he's a geezer in racer's years, but he's one fast mofo. Hope he gets into the top 5, but would be pleased with the top ten in qualifying.

Ahhhh, 1968 what a great year about three years a 9 months before my mother went to Hawaii on Vaca,...

That bastards my age. Hope he secures a ride out of this specially with his abilities. Not sure if he's out of it by choice but I can't see why a reputable team wouldnt pick him up. Obviously it's better to invest your money into a rider that's 17(Duhamels # rather then a 41 yr old. But you'd think experience would speak for itself. Hell you'll save a fortune on bodywork alone!

That's right Kenneth.

I'm still very spry for my age. "cough cough cough cough."

Can someone help me up? I forgot to put in my necklace with the emergency button pushing thingy.

I'm clinging to my 30's for all their worth. Unfortunately that run comes to an end this year...
