EMAX Drag Racing 2006 Second National Event at Rockingham Speedway Was an Extreme Fun Time for EMAX and Nickos Pizza
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--April 25, 2006--EntertainMax Worldwide Inc., a company partly owned by eMax Holdings Corporation (OTC:EMXC), and Nickos Pizza announced they were entertained to the extreme when they attended the Second National IHRA EMAX Drag Racing Series and attended as sponsors to the Second National Event held at Rockingham Speedway, April 21-23 in Rockingham, N.C. (http://www.rockinghamdragway.com/). The EMAX team and Nickos Pizza were treated so warmly by the race drivers, Aaron Polburn and everyone from IHRA. www.ihra.comChuck Weber, president of EntertainMax, stated: "I do not attend many sports events but I love motor sports. I love drag racing over all motor sports because it is non stop action from sunup to sundown. This year we plan to put more action in place with lots of music to go with all the amazing events that go on every weekend at a IHRA racetrack somewhere in the U.S. and Canada most weekends. We loved to see so many race teams that were made up of families from all over the world and they race because they love to race. To be able to have so much fun in a weekend with your family and to have full access to go see the drivers in their Race pits and get autographs is unheard of anywhere else in any sport than with the IHRA. These families put it all on the line each week for the fans and the family unity is seen throughout the IHRA team and all the IHRA race teams and their families. EMAX is so proud to be a part of the IHRA and was absolutely overwhelmed to see their logo on every race team's car. The IHRA has to be one of the finest and professionally ran organizations we have ever had the pleasure to work along beside."
Nick Kontonicolas stated: "The EMAX Drag Racing Series and IHRA is a real big family and I am very happy to be a part of the marriage between EMAX and IHRA. EMAX IHRA, C Trade USA, and Hoosier Thunder Motorsports are excited about the future growth of IHRA. Already the attendance at both San Antonio Texas and Rockingham North Carolina Nationals events have outperformed all years previously. We have already seen that the partnership between the EMAX team and IHRA is working very positively."
This weekend Terry McMillen of http://hoosierthunder.com ran his Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car, powered by TORCO Race Fuels, in between rain showers in the sand hills of North Carolina at the Nicko's NY Style Pizza Spring Nationals. Nicko's Pizza is a division of C. Trade Group which is headed by Nick Kontonicolas and was the title sponsor for the Spring Nationals in Rockingham.
"Hoosier Thunders Sports and their family, Terry McMillen, Rhonda McMillen, Tad Heflick, Brent Lidard, Jim Walczak and Mr. Jack made us feel at home as part of their family," said Weber. "They fed us and introduced us to many other racing teams and sponsors the two days we were in Rockingham. EMAX had a chance to meet some of the youngest race drivers like Andrew Cowin and one of the oldest race car drivers, Mr. Jack; who also drives with the Hoosier Thunder Motorsports along with Terry McMillen."
EntertainMax's goal is to make the IHRA and the race champions household names. The families of today need more celebrity sports figures to look up to like the IHRA race champions so they can honesty have good role models to aspire to be like and who as role models truly walk and believe in family values.
Nicko's Pizza, a division of C. Trade Group, is headed by Nick Kontonicolas and was interviewed by Speed TV announcing Nickos Pizza as the pizza choice by IHRA C. Trade USA, Hoosier Thunder Motorsports and EntertainMax plans to unveil the EMAX Top Fuel Dragster at the concert tour kick off event at Grand Bend Motorplex the weekend of June 2-6, 2006.
