Riverside, CA - The Brett Downey Safety Foundation has been an integral part of the amateur motocross community since 2004. During this time, the Foundation has spent a significant amount of time and effort ensuring the safety of riders, spectators and the sport itself.
It is in this spirit, that the Brett Downey Safety Foundation is pleased to welcome Richard White to the team.
Richard has been around motorcycles his entire life. His son, Richard White, Jr. started racing around 5 years old which got the entire family heavily involved in the sport of motocross. As the years went by, Richard got involved at Lake Whitney helping Sharon Johnson whenever the call came. He started refereeing the races there and subsequently his experience evolved from there. In 2001, Richard and his wife, Donna, had the opportunity to become involved with Oakhill MX Park. They promoted and ran the track all the while traveling with their son, while Richard did the D&S trackside support truck. This gave him the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the races from a vendor to an official and most importantly a dad. D&S Kawasaki gave him an excellent opportunity to grow within the sport and become more involved. During time he also became the NMA regional manager for the Texas region, which again helped him understand the sport's ins and outs. In 2005, the GNC final came to Oakhill MX Park which gave Richard even more opportunity to be involved in every aspect. And as of the 2010 Lake Whitney Spring Classic and moving into the 2010 GNC finals this week, Richard is now assisting the Brett Downey Safety Foundation get the message out about the importance of safety, etiquette and awareness to the riders and their families. We are excited for him to be a part of our team in 2010. Feel free to let Richard know how much you appreciate all his hard work spreading the word about safety and enforcing it.
