Alton, Va. M1 Entertainment, which is promoting the Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals featuring the AMA Superbike Championship at VIRginia International Raceway over the weekend of August 18-20, has put together the most amazing promotion ever seen at a Superbike race. The M1 Experience is a package of amenities and access that is unprecedented in the history of the sport. In order to be eligible, a fan must purchase two three-day passes for the Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals. Fans will get one chance for each two three-day passes purchased during the month of July, so if one person buys 10 three-day passes, they get five chances to win. Tickets must be purchased by July 31, 2006. The lucky winner and their guest will receive the following: two event programs; two official Big Kahuna t-shirts; two sets of Speed Channel Gear; two trackside suite passes; two drink passes each; two laps of the track (if they ride their own bikes); one pace car ride for two; one hotel room at the track for Friday and Saturday night; present trophies on the podium for Saturday races; two Pit Crew Weekend Warrior Passes for the Jordan Suzuki Team; one helmet autographed by all the top racers at the Big Kahuna Nationals; one seat in the Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals Superstars Kart Enduro Challenge on Thursday; and one lap on the Road Racing World two-seater superbike with Chris Ulrich on Thursday. “This is the ultimate,” said M1 president Cameron Gray. “There has never been a promotion like this, and one lucky fan and their guest are going to have the weekend of a lifetime at the Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals. There is no way to put a value on this promotion, because a lot of the package isn’t available at any price! If you tried to dream up the absolutely best possible weekend at a Superbike race, this would be it. Somebody is going to win this incredible package, and we wish everyone good luck!” The Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals offers a variety of ticket packages designed to fit every budget, including standard general-admissions tickets, Big Kahuna Super Tickets, Big Dog Hospitality Passes, Little Dog Hospitality Passes, Pit Walk Passes, car parking passes and camping passes. All current military personnel will receive a 30-percent discount and free parking with a copy of a current military ID (advance) or by presenting their ID card at the gate. Similarly, college students will be eligible for a 15-percent discount with a copy of a current college ID (advance) or by presenting their ID card at the gate.
