WERA Cycle Jam returns to Road Atlanta this weekend, June 7-9, 2013.

You know you’ll see some of the fastest bikes being thrashed around one of America’s best road courses by people who have absolutely zero sense of danger and who live to thrill us at 180 miles per hour.

Better than that?  You can less-than-thrash your own motorcycle on the track for a few bucks for (ready?) charity!

Yup.  Five dollar touring laps will be available on Saturday and Sunday, along with a silent auction of dandy goodies that you probably cannot live without — with the proceeds going to the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charity.

The wife doesn’t want you to go to the races?  Try this:

“Bonnie Sue, you’re right.  I’m a worthless piece of selfish slime … but I’m going to change.  I’m FINALLY going to stop thinking only of myself.  I’m going to do something this weekend for others … for people in need … for the less fortunate.  Yup.  I’m going to the WERA Cycle Jam races and donate $5 per lap by riding my motorcycle for charity right slap-dab on the Road Atlanta race track.  See, Bonnie Sue?  I knew it was only a matter of time until you’d be proud of me, darlin’!”

No guarantees that will work, mind you.  For a few extra dollars, I might rent you my bike (professional racer-babe not included).

Tickets are available at the gate and there is plenty of parking.

You can camp at the track too, in case Bonnie Sue says she’d like you to spend a few nights sleeping in the woods “thinking things over.”
