ProSolo Season Begins Big at El Toro

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EL TORO, Calif. (April 2, 2008) - A big crowd turned out for the SCCA
Tire Rack(r) ProSolo National Series opener at El Toro airfield last
weekend. Hosted by Cal Club, the combination of two long, quick courses
and large driver counts heightened the level of competition and gave El
Toro a March Madness feel.

After earning the Street Touring(r) Ultra class victory in convincing
fashion, Richard Jung, of Laguna Niguel, Calif., picked his way through
the Hawk Super Challenge bracket like a No. 1 seed NCAA men's basketball
team and took his CiroDesigns/Enkei/Dunlop/Buschur/ Bils Mitsubishi
Evolution all the way to the finals, where he topped Andy Hollis' Street
Touring S Honda Civic.

Another popular all-wheel drive rocket was behind Annie Bauer's Ladies
Challenge win. Bauer, of Kent, Wash., piloted Max Hayter's Zzyzx
Motorsports Subaru WRX STi to victory over Mindi Cross' G Stock MC
Racing Mini Cooper S.

Will Kalman, of Northridge, Calif., pulled off two upsets in his new L&W
Enterprises/Redshift Honda Civic. First he knocked off James Wilson's
Subaru Impreza for the H Stock win, then Kalman proceeded to hand Hollis
his second runner-up finish in Challenge competition when he collected
the Honda Tuner Challenge Top Eliminator crown.

Leslie Cohen, of Cardiff By The Sea, Calif., was the first ChaseCam
Bonus Challenge winner after finishing fourth in Super Stock, driving a
C2 Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette.

C Street Prepared was practically a challenge in itself with 17 drivers
entered. All three generations of the Mazda Miata were represented in
the trophies, with Scott Fraser, of San Jose, Calif., claiming victory
in a 1991 siastuning/A.R.E. Mazda Miata by 0.400-second over George
Doganis' 1994 Dinos MX-5.

Ladies 1 was equally big, but was no problem for Meredith Brown, of Los
Alamos, N.M., in the Isotope Wheels/Automotive Pros/Mida Toyota MR2. In
Ladies 2, a no-less impressive 16 drivers strong, Christine Berry, of
Alta Loma, Calif., came out on top in the Berry Family Facing/Hoosier
Mitsubishi Evolution. The car did not last the weekend, however, and
both Christine and husband Tom were forced to find other rides for the
Challenge rounds.

In contrast, Vic Sias, of Santa Clara, Calif., started his weekend with
a broken car in D Street Prepared, but got his siastuning/edge
motorworks BMW 325 sorted on Sunday and beat Paul Leonard by
0.361-second for the win.

A Street Prepared turned into a nail biter on Sunday when Jason Uyeda,
of West Hills, Calif., made a late charge for the win in a
Blackwatch/ChaseCam Lotus Elise. A red-light and two missed runs meant
it would come down to the final run for Uyeda if he expected to pass up
Ken Montishi, of Orange, Calif. With a win on the line, Uyeda got a
little too aggressive, coning his final run, and handing victory to
Motonishi and his Kumho Chevrolet Corvette.

More SCCA ProSolo upsets and close-calls are just around the corner as
the series heads to a new venue in little over a week's time. The
Newport Airport in Newport, Ariz., will host the second round of the
series, April 12 - 13.
