All About Civilian Top Gun Competition

Third Annual Civilian Top Gun Competition Sunday, May 16th

Denver, Colorado, March, 2010: T3RG Motorcycle Schools announces the third annual Civilian Top Gun Riding Competition, Sunday, May 16 at JEFFCO Stadium at 6th & Kipling in Lakewood. Motorcyclists and scooterists will compete at slow speed precision riding drills to win cool prizes, including cash. Patterned after the professional Top Gun riding competition, the object is to ride a motorcycle or scooter through a series of tight turns, swerves and circles without stepping a foot down or knocking into a cone. This type of riding is very challenging, so the best riders in the country have been invited to compete for some pretty great prizes. All riders are invited to compete for a great cause and lots of fun.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, (www.woundedwarriorproject.org).
