Project Filter All Star Challenge and Military Appreciation Night at Meridian Speedway, 21 May, 2011





It was an unbelievable night at Meridian Speedway this Saturday night! This night was the annual Project Filter All Star Challenge and Military Appreciation night. This is the night that we get the entire Motocross Team and the Car Racing Team together for one absolute night of fun and excitement. We also had a visit from AMA Arenacross/Supercross/Motocross Star Cole Siebler #171. Cole is a part of the Project Filter Team and wanted to show his appreciation to his fans and support for the cause.
This event is my favorite event of the year. The crew at Meridian Speedway is outstanding, they make the races fun and exciting for everyone and anytime we get a chance to team up with them it turns out to be a great experience for everyone involved. On top of everything it is also Military Appreciation night, which is near and dear to my heart and just another way to shout out a big, “Thank You” to all military members for doing what you do. With Project Filter its’ all about the people, the fans and the opportunity to help make Idaho a smoke free state. We had the Project Filter booth set up with Tyler’s car and the dirt bikes on display. We had some really cool beverage mugs, footballs, autograph cards and posters for the fans.
The excitement was in the air all evening. Not only did the car racing have the fans on edge but we got to go out and have a little fun on the dirt bikes as well. This is our night to unwind a little; we went out on the track for a couple hot laps, burn outs and a little turn around race just for fun. Matt and Cole wowed the crowd with some awesome wheelies and Matt threw in a one handed burnout as he waved to the crowd. It’s all in good fun and it’s a chance to repay our fans for being so supportive to us and Project Filter.
It’s really cool to see the support and the interest that we get at this type of event from fans, supporters and just a wide variety of people that are interested in Project Filter and the message that we bring to the table. I see it everywhere we go, “People want something better, they want to feel better and live a healthier lifestyle”. I have heard many reasons why people want to quit using tobacco and one thing is for sure, everyone who quits says the same thing, “I sure feel a lot better”.
Thank You Project Filter and Meridian Speedway for a night to remember!
Next race for the Motocross Team is in Preston Idaho, this is a big one for us, hope to see ya there………
