Special Honda HRC Bodywork Up For Grabs T he Honda HRC Progressive team is once again auctioning off their special- edition liveries, which were raced at round two of the SuperMotocross Playoffs in Los Angeles, California. The white Cycra plastics were done in collaboration with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and are autographed by team riders Hunter Lawrence, Jett Lawrence, Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas. "For 35 years, American Honda has been a leader in the pediatric brain tumor community, ensuring no child or family faces this diagnosis alone," said Alissa Karas, Ride for Kids Peer to Peer Manager at the PBTF. "It is a great honor for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation to be back for our third year with Honda HRC Progressive for this special opportunity to share our mission. We were thrilled that the Imaginary Friends Society characters were recognized again this year on the bike kits. While the kit pieces themselves are being auctioned off to raise funds for innovative research and family support, the conversation started within the racing industry, because this team's leadership is outstanding. More people know about PBTF, the resources we provide, and the difference Honda HRC Progressive is making for our mission, and that impact continues to grow each year we partner at SuperMotocross!" To make a bid, visit the auction website or visit the PBTF website. The auction will close October 9 at 9 p.m. ET.
