19 February 2000


     PICKERINGTON, Ohio --  AMA Progressive Insurance U.S. Flat Track

Championships sponsor Corbin-Pacific, Inc., will expand its involvement

with AMA Pro Racing for 2000, becoming the Official Motorcycle Seat of AMA

Pro Racing.

     Corbin joins the family of sponsors at AMA Pro Racing that claim

"Official" status, which provides a broad marketing platform for branding,

promotions, and internet presence.

     "Corbin is proud to announce its continued support of the AMA Grand

National Flat Track Championships," said Greg Hurley, marketing director

for Corbin-Pacific, Inc. "Flat track is true grassroots racing, and has

produced many of today's racing legends. It's only natural for us to want

to support this venue. We're also excited about new marketing opportunities

as the Official Motorcycle Seat of AMA Pro Racing. Corbin's involvement

with the AMA is based on our commitment to the industry and our love for

the sport. As our business expands, we want to expand our involvement with

organizations like the AMA."

     Official status with AMA Pro Racing is one element of Corbin's plans

for the 2000 AMA season. With the help of Stormy Chisler, Corbin is in the

process of putting together a new team to contest the Progressive U.S. Flat

Track Championships. Details regarding Corbin's plans for the 2000 team

will be released in the near future.

     Corbin is well known in the motorcycle industry with more than 30

years experience manufacturing custom accessories. Recently, the company

most famous for their saddle designs has branched out into producing a wide

range of motorcycle luggage and body components. For up-to-date
