Wave the green flag on the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix weekend with the Parts
Unlimited Fan Party presented by GE Financial. Win door prizes, listen to
music, enjoy a cool beverage and hang out with other race fans. The Fan
Party will be held at the Turn 5 hospitality area, in Chalet #7.
Saturday - The All-American Rejects In Concert
Fans are invited to stick around on Saturday evening as Yamaha, HSBC and GE
Financial present The All-American Rejects live in concert at the conclusion
of the day's race activities in the Yamaha Marketplace Expo. Formed by Tyson
Ritter and Nick Wheeler, the alternative rockers from Stillwater, Oklahoma
have been joined by Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor and begun their climb up
the charts. The All-American Rejects' stop at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix
comes in the midst of an international summer tour.
Yamaha Weekend of Champions
On hand to sign free commemorative posters will be past Yamaha road racing
heroes Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson, Kel Carruthers, Randy Mamola, Rich
Oliver, Steve Baker, Thomas Stevens, Jamie James, and Don Emde. Also on
hand will be off-road racing legends Gary Jones, Broc Glover, Rick Burgett,
Marty Moates, Doug Henry, and Jeff Emig. Autograph sessions will take place
near the Yamaha display in the Yamaha Marketplace.
Freestyle FMX
Red Bull freestyle motocrosser Tommy "Tomcat" Clowers and Jeff Tilton will
perform aerobatics and incredible maneuvers riding Yamahas during their TNT
FMX demonstrations. Know for throwing down tricks such as Hart Attack
Lookbacks, Catwalks, and Cat-Nacs, Clowers has medaled in every Winter and
Summer X Games motocross discipline, won 14 amateur motocross titles, and
had a successful supercross career. By 1999, however Clowers realized that
what he really loved was performing insane tricks for large crowds, and he
decided to make freestyle his career. Two years later, he set a 35-foot
world record in the Summer X-Games Step-Up competition. Now, Clowers tours
the country with Tilton, performing dozens of TNT FMX shows each year when
not competing.
Chris Pfeiffer, Motorcycle Stunt Rider
For stunt riding for a more earthbound nature, German Christian Pfeiffer is
the man, and he's doing his thing this weekend. A stunt rider since 1996,
Pfeifer has performed all over the world on big street bikes, though he got
his start in trials. The Red Bull stunt rider does wheelies, stoppies, and
burnouts, and skates behind his own motorcycle with such aplomb that he was
named the 2003 Stunt Rider World Champion and the 2004 European Stunt Riding
Champion. He also owns several world records, and his show is always a
crowd favorite.
"The Doctor, The Tornado And The Kentucky Kid" movie screening at the Golden
State Theater
THE DOCTOR, THE TORNADO AND THE KENTUCKY KID is a feature-length documentary
telling the inside story of the 2005 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda
Raceway Laguna Seca. The 95 minute film gets up close and personal with
Nicky Hayden, Colin Edwards, John Hopkins and the rest of the MotoGP field
as the Americans work through their quest to win at the home grand prix. The
film also offers behind-the-scenes access to the American riders, including
a trip to Edwards' Texas home and follows Hayden through the finish line for
his first Grand Prix win.
