FANS TO GET UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS THIS WEEKEND AT MILLER MOTORSPORTS PARK

TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH (May 28, 2008) - Fans attending this weekend's
HANNspree Superbike World Championship(r) StriVectin-SD(r) USA Round and
Honda Summit of Speed AMA Superbike Championship event at Miller
Motorsports Park will enjoy access unprecedented in the history of
professional motorcycle racing.

 

Thanks to the layout of the facility and agreements reached between the
facility and series officials, fans will be allowed to stroll the pit
lane outside the pit garages being used by the HANNspree Superbike World
Championship teams at designated times during the weekend.

 

Race Fans who purchase a paddock pass in addition to their admission
ticket will be eligible for the pit walk. Paddock passes are available
at $15 for a single day, $25 for two days and $40 for a four-day pass.
During the designated times, fans will be able to walk into the pit lane
and observe the HANNspree Superbike World Championship mechanics, riders
and team leaders prepare for the practice sessions and races. Entrance
to the Pit Walk will be located at the pedestrian entrance of the east
pit lane.

 

The AMA Superbike Championship paddock will also be open to Paddock Pass
holders at all times throughout the event. The AMA paddock is located
north of the GP building in front of the East and West day garages. The
AMA Pit Lane is viewable by Paddock Pass holders from the West Paddock
fence at all times.

 

The pit walks will be scheduled as follows: Thursday, 8:30 am - 6:00 pm;
Friday, 8:30-9:30 am, 12:00-1:30 pm, 3:30-6:00 pm; Saturday, 8:30-10:30
am, 12:30-2:30 pm. 5:15-6:00 pm' Sunday, 8:00-8:45 am, 10:00-11:45 am.

 

"At other international events, fans are allowed almost no access to the
riders," said Alan Wilson, Miller Motorsports Park CEO/General Manager.
"We have tried very hard to overcome this by working with the HANNspree
Superbike World Championship, and as a result we have been able to
provide a series of pit lane walks where the teams will cooperate to
allow interaction between the riders and the fans and allow the fans to
look into the garages at the bikes. We are pretty confident that this
will be the most access that fans have ever had to the international
riders."

 

The HANNspree Superbike World Championship(r) StriVectin-SD(r) USA Round
and Honda Summit of Speed AMA Superbike Championship weekend will be the
biggest event ever staged at Miller Motorsports Park, and may well be
the biggest international sporting event in the State of Utah since the
2002 Winter Olympics. The Superbike World Championship races will be
broadcast live on 95 television networks to 173 countries and an
estimated television audience of 120 million. Advance ticket sales have
already exceeded any other event in the track's history.

 

The event will be four days of on-track action, plus a myriad of
off-track entertainment for fans including stunt bikes, freestyle
motocross exhibitions, live bands, helicopter rides and sky diving. Fans
are also invited to the Zantrex-3 Insta-Shot Bike Bash at Gallivan
Center in downtown Salt Lake City at 6:00 pm on May 29, featuring live
music from the band "Chevelle," BMX and freestyle motocross exhibitions,
plus an autograph session with many of the top World Superbike and AMA
Superbike riders.
