ZETEC CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS HAVE SUCCESSFUL TEST AT MID-OHIO

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. (April 26, 2002) —With Rounds Two and Three of the 2002
Formula Ford 2000 Zetec Championship fast approaching, teams recently took
part in a two-day test at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Run late in the week, AIM Autosport, Cape Motorsports, JDC Motorsports, PR1
Motorsports, Richard Morgan Racing and Roquin Motorsports all took part in
the test. In sunny, but very cool temperatures, up to 18 cars at a time,
worked on various car setups on the challenging 2.25-mile road course. In
two full days of testing, only one minor incident occurred, while several
drivers completed more than 150 laps. While official timing and scoring was
not present, a number of drivers are understood to have posted laps better
than 1:23.5. Given the cool temperatures, it is expected that the pole
sitter for the first race at Mid-Ohio in late June, will be well under the
current lap record of 1:23.695, set in 1999. At the conclusion of the
two-day test, the Zetec Championship conducted several practice standings
stands. The standings starts were performed in order to further evaluate the
introduction of this start procedure into the series.

“The test was really good,” said Anthony Massari, who finished second at
Round Two at Sebring International Raceway. “After being in Florida, the
cold weather was definitely different and made the first few laps after you
went out interesting. We used the two days to work on things with the car
and learned what works well at different parts of the track. I’m real happy
with the car and crew and looking forward to the next races at Mosport.”

“The test gave the team a big confidence boost,” said Tom Dyer, who finished
second twice in 2001. “John Walko and the entire crew worked really hard and
gave me a great car. While this was only a practice, I think we showed that
Sebring was just an aberration and we should be running up front the rest of
the year.”

The 2002 Formula Ford 2000 Zetec Championship continues with Rounds Three
and Four at Mosport International Raceway, May 18-19, as part of the
Victoria Day Trans-Am Weekend.
