Release: Terminal Velocity Processing Signs Dakar Phenom!
Terminal Velocity Processing, an
innovative payment service provider headquartered in Agoura Hills,
California is happy to announce the adding of Dakar Rally stand-out,
Jonah Street, to their list of athletes they will support.
TVP is going to donate 100% of the net proceeds from the merchants
that Jonah introduces to TVP to handle their credit card processing in
the business and taking the processing fees and donating them to Jonah
to help fund his 2010 Dakar quest..
Jonah Street, 36 years old from Ellensburg, WA was a 'revelation' in
the 2006 Dakar. In his first Dakar Rally, he competed with, and beat,
some of the top factory riders/teams as a privateer. He placed in the
top-5 on three separate stages, boldly announcing his presence to the
world rally community. In the 2007 Rally, he was running in 4th
position overall when he suffered engine failure and was forced to
retire.
This year's race was no exception, as Jonah became one of the most
talked about racers competing. As a true Privateer with little
training leading into the race due to a full-time job, Street took the
Stage-5 win and was 2nd Overall in standings until being forced to
pull-out during stage 8 because of a still-mending broken arm he
suffered this past June.
"Jonah is an amazing story and we are excited to give people the
opportunity to support this rising star", said Joe Parsons, Marketing
Director for Terminal Velocity. "This program proves that Terminal
Velocity is a true "give back" program that is supporting those that
share our passion."
TVP's CEO, Jim Wilson, added "We know Jonah has won the support of
individuals and businesses like ourselves and TVP will allow them to
further support him by utilizing an effective business solution we
offer in credit card processing. I look forward to being a part of
Jonah's 2010 campaign!"
"Raising money to race each season, as a Privateer, has been next to
impossible", stated Street. "This program is going to allow those
individuals and companies who want to support my efforts to do so
without spending a dime. Terminal Velocity will allow us to stay true
to our grassroots efforts and get more people vested in my racing."
