Open House at New Headquarters Marks Milestone for Panoz Racing School; September 29, 2000 at Road Atlanta Facility

    BRASELTON, Ga., Sept. 26 Panoz Racing School marks its
latest expansion milestone with an open house from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday,
September 29, 2000 at its new 23,400 square-foot headquarters facility at the
Road Atlanta track complex just north of Atlanta.
    According to Jeff Purner, the school's executive director, "Although the
finishing touches have yet to be applied, we want to show off our new quarters
to our neighbors and to the world's racing community in time for The Petit Le
Mans weekend here at Road Atlanta."
    When completed, the world headquarters for Panoz Racing School will
consist of 4,400 square feet of office space and showroom with the remainder
dedicated to a technical services area which supports the racing school's
stable of cars -- the Panoz GT-RA used by students and women professionals in
the Women's Global GT racing circuit.
    The racing school has shared Road Atlanta's administrative and operations
facilities.
    After the formal opening of the new headquarters later this Fall, Panoz
Racing School will continue to operate satellite school and operational
facilities at its Sebring (Florida) and Texas Motor Speedway (Fort
Worth/Dallas) venues and other expanded training sites as they are announced.
    "The new headquarters is a sign of how fast the Panoz Racing School is
growing as well as its dedication to the sport of racing," Purner noted.
Recent examples he cited are the September 1, 2000 announcement of Panoz'
third school at Texas Motor Speedway and the creation of North America's only
Motorsports Vehicle Technology Program at Lanier Technical Institute unveiled
September 27.
    Panoz Racing Schools offer racing instruction to all skill levels, from
the novice to the seasoned driver looking to improve his or her racing skills
and also offer corporate incentive and teambuilding programs.
