I’m going to be driving in the 25 hours of Spa-Francorchamps in the Fun Cup UK Series on July 10-11, which will give me a great opportunity to build-up some miles for my LIVESTRONG Pledge and help raise more awareness for the LIVESTRONG Motorsport Army (benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation). We’ll be driving a Fun Cup car with a diesel engine, which will get us much better fuel mileage than the petrol powered racers.

Here is a quick video about the Fun Cup UK Series:

Some more details to follow shortly.

I’ve started the new LIVESTRONG Motorsport Army, and combined by 2009 Pledge into the Army. The purpose of the LMA is to help raise awareness in the motorsport community for cancer and the LAF’s Global fight of the disease.

I’m currently working to secure funding and a seat for the 24 hrs of Daytona in the Grand-Am Rolex GT Series, January 22-25. If I drive in this race, that would be approximately 590 miles that I complete during my stints…this would contribute $590 to LIVESTRONG.

I’ll be using this site to keep followers up-to-date of my 2009 pledge to donate $1 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for every mile that I race in 2009. I’ve had many family members and friends either fight, survive, or lose to cancer…this disease needs to be beaten, and the more that people know about the disease, how to fight and survive it, and the more people that support this cause, the better it is for everyone.

I’ve set up a Grassroots Campaign at livestrong.org: http://www.livestrong.org/grassroots2009/jamesonriley

I’m not asking for any donations here…this is simply for people to track my progress and see how much money has been raised for the LAF organization.

I’ll also be posting updates from my season and progress via Twitter, at twitter.com/jamesonriley.
