Safety First Suzuki participates in High School Career Day
press release.


Safety First Suzuki Racing Team Owner Kevin Hanson and Crew Chief Jim Rashid
recently participated in Niles High School's annual Career Day. The program for the
suburban Chicago High School was called "Ask the Expert" which demonstrated to
students the relationship of school subject areas to life skills and career
opportunities in the workplace.



Hanson and Rashid covered various administrative and mechanical responsibilities
required to maintain and field an AMA race team, job duties of an AMA mechanic,
preparation and education needed to be a mechanic, a technical discussion regarding
AMA class rules and what Safety First Racing needs to do in preparing their Suzuki
GSXR 600's to go from showroom floor to the track. The team brought a Safety First
Suzuki GSXR600 racebike as a visual aid for the presentation.



"The students were really excited when they got to look at the racebike up close and
hear it run. It was a great opportunity to promote AMA motorcycle racing and what
it takes to pursue a career as a mechanic" quoted Kevin Hanson. Jim Rashid added
"It was great to correlate how all areas of their schooling will help them strive
towards their professional goals and see the reactions of the students. They had
some great, thoughtful questions that really reflected their level of interest in
our presentation".
