U.S. Video Rights to Morocco off-Road Rally

LAS VEGAS--May 26, 2005--The world-class Morocco Off-Road Rally, one of the world's most exciting off road competitions will be seen by U.S. race fans for the first time in a deal for the U.S. video rights secured by security industry entrepreneur and amateur racer, Ronn Bailey.

The desert race, with some of the world's top European Off Road car, truck and motorcycle drivers, started May 24 and ends on May 29, 2005th. Bailey is in the process of finalizing negotiations to air an hour-long special. Neveu Pelletier Organisation (www.npo.fr http://www.npo.fr) owns the race and retains worldwide video rights for the Morocco Rally, which has run for the past six years. Terms were not disclosed.

The five-day race course forms a long oval along the Atlantic coast of Morocco coast from Agadir through Oued Chebika to Laayoune and back to Agadir -- all southwest of the famous cities Casablanca and Marrakesh. This year, the race will prohibit Global Positioning Systems (GPS) on five navigational stages, returning to the origins of cross-country rally.

"There is a growing interest in off-road racing in the U.S. and the Morocco Rally is one of the most exciting events, with treacherous mountain and desert terrain, sandstorms, and fierce competitors, says Ronn Bailey. "It's an event that plays well on TV and will help build even greater interest in this incredible sport."

Bailey, an amateur driver, is the only American driver (#235) in the Morocco Rally and is so far in 27th place after the first leg, despite his rookie status. His only other off-road race was the 2005 Dakar, a 7,000 mile course over 15 days from Barcelona to Senegal and he plans to enter the 2006 event as well.
