HUBINETTE READY TO ROLL AT ROAD ATLANTA

Center Line, Mich. - The road leading to the Drift Atlanta event has been a 
blur for newly signed Team Mopar driver Samuel Hubinette, but the veteran 
Drifter is ready to put the Mopar Dodge Viper Competition Coupe through its paces. 
When the Lateral G Racing machine hits the tarmac at Road Atlanta, spectators 
and media alike are in for quite a show.

"Drifting competitions are about car control and entertainment," Hubinette 
said. "People, the race fans, come to see amazing drivers handle their cars 
under extreme conditions. The event is really a car-control demonstration. It's 
the perfect mix of competition and entertainment."

Finding the perfect mixture of car control and entertainment won't be a 
problem for Hubinette, who is considered one of the best drift drivers in North 
America. He enters the Drift Atlanta event fresh off an outstanding showing at 
the 2004 D1 Grand Prix at Irwindale Speedway in February, where he finished 
first among U.S. drivers and in the top-10 overall. 

The weekend's event will also be full of "firsts" for the Lateral G Racing 
team, when Hubinette and company roll the Dodge Viper Competition Coupe off its 
hauler for some tire-smoking excitement. The 520-horsepower machine is all 
business, as it is a racing-only version of the Viper SRT-10. Hubinette is 
looking forward to spending some quality time in the driver's seat as well as with 
his race team.

"This will not only be my first time in the car, it will also be my first 
time the team's been together in this type of situation," Hubinette said. "We're 
going to use this week as something of a 'practice week,' as it will be my 
first time driving the Viper. We've also got to take a look at the team and 
figure out everyone's position. We will evaluate the whole picture this weekend."

Hubinette and the Lateral G Racing Team will compete in the Formula Drift 
segment of the Drift Atlanta event to be held April 24-25, 2004, at the 
prestigious Road Atlanta course. For more information regarding Team Mopar, Samuel
