FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, D.C., September 26, 2011 – Michele Martineau of Team Courage Racing and Emme Hall of Hall Ass

Racing are proud to announce their alliance with West Coast Hooters as they raise funds for Cedars-Sinai Breast

Cancer Research Center in association with MORE’s Royal Purple Synthetic Oil’s 6th Annual Powder Puff Race for

the Cure October 7-8 in Barstow, CA.

Simply visit http://teamcourageracing.com/hootersevent.html or http://teamcouragegazelles.com/

hootersevent.html to print out a flyer. Bring it to Hooters of Rancho Bernardo at 16911 West Bernardo Drive,

San Diego, CA 92127 on Monday October 3rd from 6-9pm, and West Coast Hooters will donate 20% of your tab

to Cedars-Sinai. Please note that this offer is valid ONLY at the Rancho Bernardo location.

Each year the Powder Puff raises more than $100,000 to support the Cedars-Sinai Breast Cancer Research

Center. Race organizers expect more than 75 teams and 25,000 spectators. Competitors run the gamut from

first-time drivers to professional racers with many podium finishes in both national and international races. The

only requirement is that drivers and co-drivers be female.

“Don’t let the term Powder Puff fool you,” said Hall Ass driver Emme Hall. “These ladies drive just as aggressively

as the men. We got fourth in class in 2009, second in class last year and I’m gunning for first this year.”
