    Press release follows:

    R6Live.com to Sponsor Melissa Paris

    Salt Lake City, Utah (May 25, 2010) The members and staff of R6Live.com are proud to announce their sponsorship support of AMA Pro rider Melissa Paris this weekend at Miller Motorsports Park. Paris was invited back to contest the Salt Lake City round of the World Supersport Championship, and R6Live seized on the opportunity to show their support. The community was asked to raise the funds necessary for the sponsorship, and they responded with overwhelming enthusiasm, meeting the donation goal in less than 18 hours!

    Paris, who will contest the weekend on a Yamaha YZF-R6 built by RM Racing, was pleased with the unique prospect of working with R6Live.

    “I am so excited to be working with R6Live,” said Melissa. “Anytime someone steps up to help your race efforts, it’s an amazing feeling. But when a group of individuals gets together and does something like this, it kind of catches you off guard. It’s so cool and inspiring knowing that you have this kind of support behind you!”

    “Our site is a community of avid racers and race fans,” said Pete Hitzeman, co-administrator of R6Live.com. “So when we saw the chance to work with Melissa to help make her effort come together at Miller this year, we jumped on it! She is truly one of the great personalities in the sport, and has been fantastic to work with in the past. We’re extremely proud to have her represent us this year, and wish her every success this weekend!”

      Don't agree with that guy's style but he did bring up some good points.
      Why IS Mrs. Paris-Hays on the WSS grid?

      from Jimmer- really ..that's best you can do? sorry track day star, reality is closing up on you fast[/QUOTE]

      LOL. Thanks for that Jimmer. i needed a good laugh this morning. My reality is sitting on the deck of my toro canyon home is Santa Barbara that you will never be able to afford looking at my quiver of bikes in the 6,000 sq ft garage. While you live in the basement of your parents house hoping to get off of unemployment soon.

      Live the dream my friend. I'd like to sit here and chat all day but alas, I have to go out and enjoy this beautiful day.

      Got to admit, I was pretty amused when I was reading it last night.
      Maybe Richy Rich there can use his enormous wealth to get her a Moto2 ride?

      She was invited back by the series organizers.

      She's having a difficult weekend, for sure. I don't know exactly what's up, but it's tough going. Still, she legitimately qualified, so... Let's hope they figure something out for tomorrow's race.

      Bummer. I knew she wasn't going to win the race, but i was really pulling for her to at least have this as one of her best races this season. She seems to really be struggling lately.

    Wow. What a weekend.

    I feel like if you squeezed me, I would leak water. It literally started raining when I drove out to the track on Friday and did not stop until 3PM on Sunday.

    The weekend was crazy from the get go. My buddy I always pit with got a DUI on Wednesday and was in jail until Friday. So I had no way to contact him or find out what happened. I just knew I needed his generator so I called his roomate and went and picked it up.

    My first race report!

    I used to read everybody else's reports and get jealous that I couldn't do the same. Now I can join the ranks of race reporters!

    Unfortunately I had to work on Friday so I had to wait until after 5:00pm to head out to the track. From my previous threads you might have heard that the weather was going to be crappy. Well it wasn't! The racing gods gave us sunshine and a few clouds until the last race on Sunday. The very minute the last race was over, it started... Read More Read More
