Mike passed in 2025 and left a Legacy behind of his great love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Mike founded Chapter 1331 of CMA -- Messiah Motorsports -- and this ride is to raise money for CMA missions around the globe.  CMA annually raises money to provide transportation for missionaries in many 3rd world countries.  Mike also took part in mission trips in foreign nations, and we want to raise money for this cause because we know how important bringing the message of Christ's love to others was to him.
