THE 2010  MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TOUR - Racing News, Rumors
================================================================================

We were fortunate to receive a survey from the IZOD Indy Racing League today for
our comments regarding the next generation Indycar. The IRL is planning to
introduce a new car for competition beginning in 2012. Several past and present
racecar design firms have presented drawings in hopes of being selected for the
new car. The IRL also demanded that the cars be offered at a reduced cost and
afford teams to build the cars "locally". One presentation has offered a car
weighing several hundred pounds lighter than the current car and able to reach
speeds of 235mph using roughly half the current horsepower (650+/-) of the Honda
Indy engines. Keep an eye on Indycar this season as they attempt to
revolutionize the sport in the near future to capture a new generation of race
fans.
Anyone see #12 Brad Keselowski's flight at Atlanta Motor Speedway last week
during the Sprint Cup race? #99 Carl Edwards sent him for a ride that put NASCAR
back in the headlines with Danica now concentrating on her IRL season. After
many "experts" called for Carl's head he was only placed on probation the next
three races. Our thought is a Edwards/Keslowski door to door battle at Bristol
(next Cup race) is more important to NASCAR's TV ratings and tickets sales than
parking the #99 for an extended period. On a side note the #12 was driven last
year by South Bend area driver David Stremme who we have raced against several
times with our #40 Superlate. Brad Keselowski is from Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Brad and his brother Brad are long time Michigan area racers.
The fledgling Great Lakes Outlaw Latemodel series has added Plymouth Speedway,
Baerfield Speedway, and Angola Speedway to their 2010 schedule. Berlin and
Kalamazoo are also on the schedule. We are finalizing our 2010 Superlate
schedule and hope to compete in a few of these events.
