SPORTBIKE TRACK TIME EXPANDS TRACK DAY OPERATIONS NATIONWIDE

DELTA, OH – October 28, 2003 ­ Sportbike Track Time, one of the country’s largest providers of track day events with over 70 dates at 12 racetracks in 2003, announced today that they are expanding operations in 2004 to include west coast and southern venues.

“We will publicize our 2004 west coast and southern region dates once all our venues have finalized their respective calendars,” stated Monte Lutz, co-owner of Sportbike Track Time with wife Bonnie Strawser. “After the success of the 2003 Femmoto event at Pahrump (Nevada) and our record rider turnout this past season at all our other venues across the country, we felt it was a very good time to bring our events to a west coast audience and ramp up our presence in the southern states.”

“We also plan to run a couple Aprilia demo days in the west coast and southern regions with our sizeable fleet of bikes for riders looking to get their first taste of an Aprilia motorcycle on the racetrack”, stated Bonnie, who managed the wildly successful second annual Femmoto event which also offered on track demo rides from several manufacturers.

To launch successful expansion divisions, they have recruited several seasoned track day organizers and staff who are already well known in the riding community. On the west coast, Todd Robinson, formerly of Pacific Track Time, will be Event Director, assisted by Oliver Chami, Amir Khoyi, Matthias Jezek, and others from his team to run novice orientation schools at all events. In the southern region, Aprilia riders Ron and Nancy Johnson, of the popular Deal’s Gap website www.tailoftheDragon.com will be Event Directors. They will be assisted by Mark and Lois Sheldon and their team. Mark is heading up the on-track and classroom instructional program and brings with him over 30 years of performance riding experience.

“We are thrilled to see that Todd, wife Mindy, and the rest of the family will make a solid recovery from injuries sustain in an SUV accident earlier this year and that Todd will be able to ride for us in 2004. Todd, Ron, and Nancy all share the same vision for providing a quality track day with solicitous and professional staff as we do,” said Monte & Bonnie. “So, we are very excited to have them join our team as we offer west coast and southern riders a safe and enjoyable track experience.”
