NEUBAUER AND CARNEGIE JOIN AMA SPORTS STAFF

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) today
announced two additions to its AMA Sports staff.

Douglas Neubauer is the new Director of AMA Sports, replacing Hugh Fleming, who
recently joined AMA Pro Racing as its Director of Safety & Logistics. Doug will
be responsible for leading the AMA Sports staff, which manages more than 2,800
AMA-sanctioned amateur, pro-am, ATV and youth competition events each year. He
comes to the AMA from IHRA Motorsports, where he served as assistant to the
organization's president, managing a variety of marketing, promotion, and
program-development tasks. An Ohio native, Doug also brings a special interest
in motocross to his new position, including experience in motocross-track
development.

Steven Carnegie has joined the staff as AMA Sports Manager. Along with fellow
Manager Roger Ansel and Coordinator Cherie Daniels, Steve will manage AMA
Sports' competition programs. Before coming to the AMA, Steve gained experience
as an amateur motocross racer and referee, an AMA Pro Racing official, a
motocross "boot camp" instructor, and an off-road delegate to AMA Congress from
Georgia's District 9.

"Doug and Steve are valuable additions to the AMA Sports team," said Bill Amick,
Vice President of AMA Member Events & Entertainment, which oversees AMA Sports.
"Along with their motorsports experience, they bring a special enthusiasm for
amateur competition, and we're pleased to have them on-board."
