Team Rally PanAmerica Press Release- 3 days of Racing in Australia

Press Release

August 26, 2007

Team Rally PanAmerica after 3 days Racing in Australia.

On the morning of the 4th day of the Australian Safari, Jonah and  
Casey are feeling good and going strong.  By this time, we can assume  
that they have come to terms with their new RMA Yamaha WR450 rally  
bikes.

Both riders started well and finished the first day in the top 10,  
Jonah in 4th.  Day 2 saw some glitches.  Casey ran over a length of  
wire, which tangled badly into his rear wheel.  It took him nearly 45  
minutes to extricate himself.  He finished Day 2 down to 28th position  
overall.

The Safari has surprised many of the competitors with very few  
navigation challenges.  Some of the turns and major dangers are marked  
with arrows and ribbons, taking away much of the navigation skill  
expected in rally racing.  And, the courses have been short, fast and  
smooth, which does not play to our more mature, tougher and wiser  
team's strengths.  Jonah rode Day 2 conservatively and finished in 8th  
overall.

On Day 3, the team welcomed some more challenging terrain with sand  
and dunes, and some more difficult navigation.  Former race leader Ben  
Grabham was caught out by one set of directions and lost the lead for  
his Honda team.  Jonah and Casey did well, rising in the overall  
standings to 5th and 17th respectively.

The team?s man on the scene, Robb McElroy said, ?There was finally one  
bit of difficult navigation.  Half the top guys missed it.  Our guys,  
of course, nailed it and moved up significantly.?

Day 4 of this 9-day event is about to start.  The riders will race  
from Port Hedland to Newman, Western Australia.  Jonah starts 3rd  
today, and Casey will be out of the gates 6th.  We're hoping for an  
increasingly difficult rally, but we're happy in any event that our  
guys are getting valuable racing time in before the Dakar in January.

The Australian Safari started on August 23 and crosses the desolate  
deserts of Western Australia until the finish on September 1 in Perth.
