HAYES / MOPAR TUNERFEST SHOOTOUT COMING TO ATLANTA DRAGWAY JUNE 19

Hayes Family Dealerships, Mopar and ImportAtlanta.com are teaming together
to bring the Tunerfest Shootout to Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, GA on
Saturday, June 19, 2004.

Imports, domestics, bikes, trucks and models will be competing for a portion
of the thousands of dollars in cash, prizes and awards that will be given
out for winners in several different events, including, but not limited to a
Test and Tune, Car Show, Sound Off and Bikini Contest.

Racing awards will be given to the racers who go closest to the dial in five
classes, or racers who score the best reaction time, fastest mph, and
quickest ET. In addition to drag racing on the quarter mile, there will be
decibel drag racing in the pits at the S.L.A.P. Sound Off, a stereo
competition that can drown out even the noisiest racecar.

An onsite chassis Dyno will be available to everyone interested in seeing
what kind of power their cars really deliver to the road, and is included in
the price of Gate Admission. A new set of tires will be given away to the
burnout contest winner, and there will also be special appearances by Team
Mopar drag racing stars Shaun Carlson and Mike Crawford.

Gates open for spectators at 9 AM Saturday, with drag racing action
beginning at 10 AM and "import lifestyle" activities throughout the
afternoon. The event concludes after the Awards Ceremony, which is
scheduled for 5 PM.

Gate Admission for the TunerFest Shootout will be $15, with opportunities to
make runs on the dragstrip for $25, including car and driver entry. The Car
Show and S.L.A.P. Sound Off will each require a $25 entry fee in addition to
Gate Admission, while the Dyno will be available at no additional charge on
a "first-come, first-served" basis.

For those who want to get an early start on the weekend, the Year One Fast
Friday program is scheduled for Friday, June 18, and will feature another
round of the Hayes Sport Compact Challenge, in addition to the Year One
Power Hour. Gates will open at 6:00 PM for both racers and spectators, with
racing action beginning at 6:45 and the Hayes Sport Compact Challenge
starting at 11:15 PM.
