FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
MOTOROCK TRANS-AM SERIES LAUNCHES NEW HOME ON THE INTERNET;
NEW LOOK, NEW FEATURES HIGHLIGHT COMPLETELY RE-DESIGNED WEB SITE
 
PORTLAND, Ore. (June 19, 2004) ‹ The Motorock Trans-Am Series launched its
all-new permanent home on the Internet today at www.trans-amseries.com
<http://www.trans-amseries.com/> . The new site kicked off during the
Albertsons Trans-Am 100 weekend at Portland International Raceway.

The newly re-designed web site offers many new features, including a
searchable news archive organized by date, photo galleries, driver bios,
race information and more. Recent and archived results have been re-packaged
to make them easier to use. There is also a new version of ³The Paddock,²
which allows competitors to download competitor-specific information. A
media site is also included, which will assist the press in covering the
Trans-Am Series. Both the paddock and media areas are password protected.

The new site also includes much of what has made www.trans-amseries.com
<http://www.trans-amseries.com/>  great in the past, including breaking
news, updated session and race results, and point standings, all packaged in
a more attractive and user-friendly way.

The site was created by New York-based Global Media Services. GMS, through a
partnership with VFX, also coordinated and developed new web sites for the
Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford
(www.champcarworldseries.com <http://www.champcarworldseries.com/> ) and the
Toyota Atlantic Championship Presented by Yokohama (www.toyotaatlantic.com
<http://www.toyotaatlantic.com/> ). The Trans-Am Series site utilizes a
similar architecture and graphic look of those sites.

³We have spent many months developing what we think is the best and most
useful web site in Trans-Am history,² said Trans-Am Series Executive
Director John Clagett. ³We re-designed www.trans-amseries.com
<http://www.trans-amseries.com/>  with our fans, competitors, sponsors and
the media in mind, with the hopes of continuing to offer them a positive and
productive online experience. It also better aligns the Trans-Am Series with
the Champ Car World Series and with Toyota Atlantic.

³The site has exceeded our expectations on many levels,² added Clagett, ³and
we think visitors to the new www.trans-amseries.com
<http://www.trans-amseries.com/>  will agree.²

The Albertsons Trans-Am 100, Round 2 of the Motorock Trans-Am Series
championship, part of Portlandıs Champ Car Grand Prix weekend, is scheduled
for Sunday, June 19 at 3:45 p.m. PDT. The race will air in one-day,
tape-delay basis on HDNet Sunday, June 20, at 11 a.m. PDT (2 p.m. EDT) as
the lead in to the Champ Car World Series broadcast. A highlights package
from Portland will also air in the popular ³Dangerous Curves² timeslot on
Spike TV on Sunday, June 27 at 1:30 p.m. on both the East and West Coasts.
Please check local listings for availability and times in other areas.
