3rd Annual Motorcycle Race a Great Success!
The 3rd Annual Sahara Sand Meteor Motorcycle Race, sanctioned as a national event by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and billed as some of the best racing in the Eastern US, attracted 450 racers and 2,500 spectators during the weekend of October 15 & 16, 2005 near Manahawken, NJ.
Sahara Sand, a unit of the Silvi Group Companies, annually makes available a portion of their property located in Eagleswood & Stafford Townships, NJ for this race to benefit the Eagleswood Volunteer Fire Company. The six-mile course winds through open fields, wooded areas, and a mix of challenging terrain. “This year’s event raised over $10,000 for our critical needs”, according to Cliff Aguado, the fire company president. He thanked Larry Silvi for his generosity in making this fund-raising community event happen each year.
Commenting on this year’s success, Larry Silvi noted that the two-day race provides good fun for participants and spectators alike, gets the entire community to work toward a worthwhile goal, and raises needed funds for local benefit; accordingly, “we fully expect to continue to host the race on an annual basis”.
