Ladies Only Off-Road Race For The Cure
|
The Powder Puff Race, A ladies only off-road race on track for a cure is ready to raise money for breast cancer once again. The ladies, the cars and their crews are off to Barstow, Ca. where this 20 mile Mojave off-road track is located. The race is on to find a cure for breast cancer.
(NAPSI)-An all-female off-road race is ready to roll and raise money to fight a disease that endangers women.
A record number of participants are expected for the fifth annual Powder Puff Race for the Cure presented by Mojave Off-Road Racing Enthusiasts (M.O.R.E.), with high-performance synthetic lubrication manufacturer Royal Purple as title sponsor.
The Powder Puff Race for the Cure is the largest off-road all-women driver event. Women drivers, co-drivers and their teams from across the country will head to Barstow, Calif., where the action will take place October 8 and 9.
The track is a 20-mile Mojave off-road loop with vehicles split into two different heats. Proceeds and donations acquired from the event will benefit Cedars-Sinai Breast Cancer Research Center.
“With the increasing number of women racers and spectators at each race, we’re anticipating this year’s event to be the biggest and best yet,” said Patrick Burris, Royal Purple Motorsports Coordinator. “The Powder Puff is not just about winning the race. It’s also about supporting the research to find a cure for breast cancer. We are honoring those who are currently in the fight for their lives, survivors and remembering those who have succumbed to the disease.”
Last year, the race eclipsed previous numbers with more than 10,000 spectators and 180 teams participating. Their combined efforts raised 0,000 for the Cedars-Sinai Breast Cancer Research Center.
For this year’s event, the bar has been set even higher, with a goal of 0,000 to continue research efforts. Royal Purple has pledged ,000 in support of this year’s funds drive.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in the United States. Breast cancer does not just affect women, but also men.
Nearly 200,000 women and 2,000 men will be diagnosed and about 40,000 women and 400 men will die from breast cancer this year.

Tesco Car Insurance Find Internet Only Value Policies
|
Tesco car insurance has some special online Internet only “value” plans that might save you some money. So if you are looking for cheap car insurance check out Tesco and see what they can offer you.
Tesco: Love them or hate them there’s no denying their reach across Britain. Their outlets have become a one stop shop for everything from a tin of beans to the latest smartphone. In recent years Tesco has even branched out into financial services, including car insurance.
The one thing Tesco’s plans does well is keep costs down, especially if you’re a regular shopper at their stores. Like the rest of their products, you can get a discount on Tesco’s insurance policies by having a Clubcard. Tesco also counts one point on the card for ever £2 on insurance premiums.
Tesco claims Clubcard vouchers can be used to “pay” premiums, but this is a bit of a misnomer. Premiums must be paid in full with cash but Clubcard points can be applied to the balance to be refunded after payment. For example, if you have a £200 premium you can send in £200 and 5,000 points. Once this payment has been received you will receive a £50 credit. Tesco also discounts policies based on total premium cost up to 15% for card holders. For some drivers these discounts make the insurance far cheaper than other options.
Tesco Car Insurance Coverage
Basic liability and van coverage are similar to what you’ll find with other companies. They also have an Internet-only “value” comprehensive insurance that lowers premium costs by raising excess payments. Extras like a courtesy car can be added to any of these plans at an extra cost, letting buyers pick which features they think they’ll need. Additional discounts can be had by covering specific drivers instead of anyone who might drive the car.
Like Tesco Bank, Tesco insurance began as part of a partnership with the Royal Bank of Scotland. Currently, policies are underwritten by UK Insurance Limited, a subsidiary of RBS. Overall policy owners report more problems with Tesco-branded coverage than RBS’s own offerings. Call centres are based in Britain, but claim processing can be hit or miss. However, this may soon change.
In September of 2009 Tesco announced that they were partnering with Fortis Insurance International. This new endeavour will be done under a new corporation called Tesco Insurance Limited. Tesco will handle all of the sales, service, and advertising of the insurance while Fortis will handle underwriting. The switch between RBS and the new system will happen sometime later this year. Find out what Tesco car insurance can do to save you money.
