MRO press release

Motor Racing Outreach (MRO) is excited to announce that we will be bringing our Community Center and associated services to selected AMA Superbike Championship, Supercross and Prostar events in 2005.

The MRO Community Center is a 52’ trailer customized to allow for community events at the track, including a 50’x 20’ covered outside play area for children, with a separate seating area for parents to use for ‘hanging out’. Many of you already had the opportunity to enjoy the Community Center and associated services when it was brought to the Birmingham Superbike event in the Spring of 2004.

The MRO Community Center is presently scheduled to be set up at the following events:

March 9-12 Daytona International Speedway (Superbike, Supercross)
April 22-24 Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham, AL (Superbike)
September 2-4 Road Atlanta, Braselton, GA (Superbike)
November 11-13 Gainesville, FL (ProStar)

The Community Center has become a ‘hub’ for members of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and Busch Series community, as they travel week to week, setting up camp in the infield of racetracks across the country. Typical weekend activities include small group bible studies, showers and birthday parties, Bible Club and childcare during races, and open play time for kids.

“We are thrilled to have the MRO Community Center at our World Finals,” said Keith S. Kizer, President of AMA/Prostar. “MRO is a vital part of our series, providing spiritual guidance and comfort to our racers and sponsors. We look forward to having our children’s needs met through the MRO Community Center.”

At the AMA events listed above, MRO will offer its services to AMA REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS ONLY. In order for us to plan for proper staffing, please contact Missy deSouza at the MRO office at 800-424-8138, or by e-mail mdesouza@go2mro.com if you are interested in bringing your family, so that we may have correct information about the children/ages we are expecting.
