SCCA: Vision Entertainment joins SCCA Sponsorship

            CENTENNIAL, Colo. (October 29, 2001) -- The Sports Car Club of 
America, Inc. and SCCA Pro Racing Ltd. have named Vision Entertainment to its 
sales and marketing services force.
            Vision Entertainment, of Laguna Beach, Calif., will oversee new 
sponsorship and sales ventures pertaining to the Rally, Solo and Club Racing 
departments of the SCCA as well as SCCA Pro Racing and its Speedvision World 
Challenge and Pro Spec Racer series.
            "This is an unbelievably exciting time for the SCCA and SCCA Pro 
Racing, with the addition of the Vision staff, which has an outstanding 
record of results and brings a new perspective on grassroots and professional 
motorsports events," said Steve Johnson, SCCA President and CEO. "The 
addition of their efforts will take all facets of the SCCA to a new level."
            Now in its fifth year, Vision Entertainment is the promoter of 
such popular national and west coast lifestyle events as the Hot Import 
Nights, the Hot Import Daze, Beach Fest, the Fresh Tracks Snow and 
Skateboarding Expo, The National Houseboat Expo and GT Live. Vision's 
marketing and sales arm has been the driving force behind the success of the 
events, as well as its keen ability to recognize and capitalize on market 
trends.
            "It takes extreme talent and motivation as well as a keen sense 
of where trends are heading in order to keep a finger on a market's pulse," 
said Mitch Wright, SCCA Pro Racing Vice President and General Manager. 
"Vision has those attributes, which is what has made them so successful in 
the past."
            "We believe that SCCA and SCCA Pro Racing have very marketable 
products to motorsports and automotive enthusiasts, but there hasn't been a 
complete program in place to take advantage of what it has to offer from a 
marketing and sales standpoint," said Todd Wallin, President of Vision 
Entertainment. "We're anxious to get started immediately, creating new 
opportunities and helping SCCA expand its reach and sponsorship value."
            In addition to its in-house staff, Vision Entertainment has 
contracted motorsports specialist Tomo Meek to work in concert with Paul 
Mecca's Cornelius, N.C.-based ESP, Inc. to craft programs to maximize new 
sponsor exposure and value to the SCCA.
            "We're excited to announce that we've brought in Tomo Meek as our 
Director of Sales for SCCA products, and there is synergy in our efforts and 
those of Paul Mecca," added Wallin. "We're confident that the marketing and 
sales efforts beginning right now will be the most complete and successful in 
the SCCA's history."
