John Thawley Announces Exploring Speed and Light 2006 Photo Journal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

January 17, 2007



DETROIT - Motorsports photographer, John Thawley, announced today the  
release of his latest photographic journal, Exploring Speed and  
Light, a photo diary of his year following the 2006 American Le Mans  
Series. The hard bound book features 158 pages of full color  
photography documenting Thawley's visual interpretation of the 2006  
season.

"2006 was an outstanding year and I feel I've captured the true  
essence of the racing, the people and the technology," Thawley  
continued. "The cars are presented in breathtaking colors and set  
against the finest racing backdrops in North America."

"I'm pleased with the direction of this year's book," expressed  
Thawley. "Once again, we've raised the bar over previous years. This  
year's book has three times as many pages and is complete with a full  
color dust jacket. It surpasses everything we've produced in the  
past. As an added bonus I've included a section from the winter  
testing that features the first appearance of the Audi diesel powered  
R10 prototype and Dyson's early development of the LMP 1 Lolas. The  
inaugural race from Miller Motorsports Park also provides an historic  
view of North America's newest facility and a unique look at  
endurance racing in the desert. On a personal note, I don't mind  
saying, this year's images are my best work ever."

"In past seasons," Thawley continued, "my books have been pre- 
formatted to suit a theme. We've featured Top-10 drivers or  
Championship standings and tailored the books to suit specific  
concepts. This year, based on feedback from customers and supporters  
of my work, I've chosen to simply let the images speak for  
themselves. The reader will see what I saw. I'm excited about that."

In addition to tripling the size of the book, Thawley's 2006  
Exploring Speed and Light is being released at an introductory price  
of $59.95 plus shipping. Exploring Speed and Light can be purchased  
online from American Le Mans Collection at www.almscollection.com,  
Wheels On Walls at www.wheelsonwalls.com and Thawley's personal site
