BOWMANVILLE, Ont., Can., Aug. 5, 2004 - In celebration of the Petersen

recent months, the 53' High Tech trailer will be opened to the public as
part of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) TECHTalk feature. Tours will
be held in the Mosport International Raceway paddock from 11 am to 11:30
am (local time) on Saturday, Aug. 7. The tours of the team's "home away
from Vegas" will be given by ALMS GT race winners and drivers of the No.
31 Westward Ho Casino/ MMPIE/ PAWS/ Michelin Porsche 911 GT3 RSR David

Those involved in the TECHTalk tour will see how the team carries
everything it needs to maintain the 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning GT class
Porsche away from the team's Las Vegas race shop. Visitors will also be
given the opportunity for autographs and to ask questions of Murry and
Stanton about the transporter, the team's Michelin-tire shod Porsche 911
GT3 RSR and more.
