Jeremy McGrath to be honored by San Diego Sports Medicine Foundation
The San Diego Sports Medicine Foundation is pleased to announce this years
honorees at the 6th annual Taste at the Cove.
Jeremy McGrath and Dr Robert Pace will be honored at Taste at the Cove, a
fundraiser for the San Diego Sports Medicine Foundation. This event raises
over $200,000 annually to provide a medical safety net for injured youth with
limited financial means in order to return them back to health, sports and life.
Throughout the event there will be GREAT complimentary food from over 30
of the best restaurants in La Jolla and San Diego, hosted bars, three New York
style fashion shows, great opportunity drawings, silent auction items plus a
live auction! The MC for the event is CS Keys from Fox 6 and the auctioneers
are Scott and Billy Ray from XX Radio. This year guests will be treated to a
surprise performance, one not to miss.
Jeremy McGrath is being honored for his seven Supercross titles - a feat no
other racer in Supercross history has even come close to - with two additional
125 Western Region Supercross Championships, one 250 Outdoor National
Championship and to FIM World Supercross Championships, most within this
spectacular sport feel Jeremy McGrath is to Supercross what Michael Jordan is
to basketball. Truly the most successful rider in AMA Supercross history, with
a record 72 250cc Supercrosswins, the dirt bike racing icon retired from the
sport he helped catapult into mainstream popularity in 2003, only to return in
the 2005 season to race select events throughout the 16 week pro Supercross
season.
Not only a world class athlete, but an exceptional entrepreneur ... Jeremy is
the first pro racer to form and operate his own Supercross race team. The
team's 2001 inaugural race season, culminated with a title sponsor deal with
MAZDA and in 2002 BUD LIGHT/ANHEUSER-BUSCH signed on as title sponsor
for McGrath's endeavor.
Jeremy is long time San Diego resident and gives back to
the San Diego community. Dr Robert Pace is being
honoured for his work in the community. One of his most
satisfying professional experiences has been working with
the young athletes in the Fallbrook area. Pop Warner
"physicals day" has been a Dr. Pace office tradition in his
town for many years. He has served for the past 31 years
as team physician for the Fallbrook High School Football
team. He knows he has been in town for a long time since
he is now seeing young patients who are the offspring of
some of those long ago high school footballers.

AMA Toyota Motocross Championship presented by FMF comes to Unadilla -ozzy go-
The first half of the 2007 AMA Toyota Motocross Championship
presented by FMF comes to a close with round six of the series
at Unadilla Valley Sports Center on July 14-15 in New Berlin,
New York.
The Monster Energy Nice N Easy Pro National Presented by
Renegade Haulers will see James Stewart trying to overcome the
spate of bad luck he’s suffered at Unadilla over the last couple of
seasons. In 2005 Stewart had a collision with Ricky Carmichael as
the two battled for the lead. Last year Stewart suffered a high-
speed crash during morning practice and missed the race
altogether. This year Stewart is the pre-race favorite to win his
first national of the season aboard his Monster Energy Kawasaki.
Series leader Ricky Carmichael will not race at Unadilla. The
defending champion is transitioning into a NASCAR racing career
and is slated to race only one more national this summer on his
Makita Suzuki. This will mark the first Unadilla without Carmichael
in 10 years.
Stewart said he’ll approach Unadilla no differently than any other
race in spite of the fact that his biggest rival will not be on the
line.
“It’s going to be different without Ricky there,” Stewart said. “It
took me awhile in Supercross to get used to it and now I’m going
to have to do it outdoors. I’m going to focus like I always do. I
don’t think I’ll ride any differently.”
Stewart, who is 16-points behind Carmichael in the championship,
should take over the series lead with a good performance at
Unadilla. If he does take the series lead it would mark the second
time Stewart has led the series. He won the opening round in
2006 and held the series lead for one week. Stewart is a three-
time Unadilla Motocross Lites winner, but will be seeking his first
win in the premier class.
Kawasaki last won the premier event at Unadilla since 2001.
The big question is whether or not any rider can step up to
challenge Stewart in the second half of the season. His teammate
Tim Ferry comes into Unadilla ranked third in the standings. He’s
holding off a group of riders.... click on ozzy go to the full story
