Titan Takes the Fast Track with Firebird Raceway Sponsorship

    PHOENIX, March 16 Titan Motorcycle Co. of America
announced today that it will sponsor the 2000-2001 racing
season at Firebird International Raceway Park (Chandler, Ariz.).  The season
sponsorship entitles Titan to a variety of marketing and promotional

Races.  Additionally, Lake Firebird, located in the center of the raceway,
hosts the Lakefest International Hot Boat Association (IHBA) season opener
April 28-30, as well as the IHBA World Finals, where over 200 of the world's
hottest watercraft and drivers will test their mettle at speeds of over
200 mph.

motorsports," said Mark Green, Titan's director of marketing.  "We are proud
to participate as a corporate sponsor of Firebird International Raceway Park,
with its tradition of celebrating high style and high performance in high-
