Yamaha Hosts OAI Event
at Perris Raceway
Y
amaha recently held a spe-
cial event at Perris Raceway
to celebrate the track's recent
grant from the Yamaha Outdoor
Access Initiative (OAI).
The Yamaha-Perris Raceway
partnership came together to
support the delivery of the All
Kids Bike program at Good Hope
Elementary in Perris, connecting
the track with the local school to
encourage the next generation of
two-wheel enthusiasts.
"Yamaha OAI is committed
to protecting the history, culture
and future of motocross and
hopes this effort inspires the en-
tire industry to get involved and
help the MX community continue
to thrive," said Yamaha.
"This event highlights the
tangible improvements Perris
Raceway has made with its
OAI grant award and high-
lights the important role of
motocross tracks, both here
in Southern California and
throughout the United States,
in maintaining safe and re-
sponsible access for moto-
cross enthusiasts.
"While we celebrate the
achievements of the team at
the Perris Raceway thanks to
Yamaha's support, the needs
of this facility and those like it
across this country extend far
beyond the resources of one
company. The time is long since
passed for the industry to recog-
nize the importance of tracks for
the motocross community, and
now broad support across the
industry as a whole is needed.
Working together to invest in
these tracks will ensure the long-
term future of this sport, provid-
ing riders across the country
with safe places to ride for years
to come."
The event at Perris included a
brief presentation on OAI and its
impact at Perris Raceway, recog-
nition of Good Hope Elementary
and the All Kids Bike program,
and a dinner. All attendees were
also invited to suit up and hit the
track under the lights."
