OUTLAW 10.5 SHOW TO REPLACE 'FALL FOOTBRAKE FRENZY' ON ATLANTA DRAGWAY

COMMERCE, GA A return of the highly acclaimed Outlaw Racing Street Car
Association (ORSCA), featuring super-fast, modified street cars on 10.5-inch
slick tires, is slated for Atlanta Dragway on Saturday, October 23rd and
Sunday, October 24th.

The weekend was originally planned as a special non-electronics bracket
race, but scheduling conflicts with other similar events in the southeast
region made switching to the 'Outlaws' a better option for track management.

"We might be able to reschedule the 'Fall Footbrake Frenzy' next year," said
Craig Armstrong, General Manager at the northeast Georgia dragstrip. "But
with conflicting bracket racing events on the calendars at other venues, it
just made sense to seek another type of show for that weekend. We are
certainly pleased to have the Outlaw 10.5 folks back again after their very
successful show here in March."

In addition to the Outlaw 10.5 cars, the show will offer supercharged,
alcohol-burning Outlaw Pro-Modifieds, indexed drag racing with 6.0 and 7.0
second cars, Limited Street cars, and a Top Eliminator Bracket program
paying $1,500 to win. According to promoter Johnny Fenn of ORSCA, total
awards will exceed $50,000 for the event, which will also feature a Car Show
and Vendor Midway.

Gates will open at 8:00 AM on both Saturday, October 23rd and Sunday,
October 24th, with drag racing action beginning at 9:00 AM on Saturday and
10:00 AM on Sunday. A two-day spectator pass will be available for $40, and
children 12 and under will be admitted free with a paying Adult. Additional
information on the event, including entry fees for racers and vendors, is
available on the official Outlaw 10.5 website, www.outlawracing.com, or on
the track's website at www.atlantadragway.com.
