IROC Series To Sell Assets In Auction

In a two day auction, beginning on March 7, 2008 -- the IROC (International
Race of Champions) series will be gone forever. You can own a piece of this
history by bidding on the assets of what was once a proud racing series for
champions of motorsports.

The list of IROC champions speaks for itself: Mark Donohue, Bobby Unser,
A.J.Foyt, Al Unser, Mario Andretti, Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough, Harry
Gant, Al Unser Jr., Geoff Bodine, Terry Labonte, Dale Earnhardt, Rusty
Wallace, Ricky Rudd, Davey Allison, Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte, Kevin
Harvick, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart.

Conceived in 1973, the IROC fell on hard times and was forced to close it's
doors after the 2006 season. The 20,000 ft. shop along with machinery,
supplies, tools, high performance engines and headers -- wheels and tires
and carbon brakes along with other race car accessories will be sold. Over a
dozen cars with 500 horsepower-plus engines, all track ready and built for
some of the world's best race car drivers, will go on the auction block.
Also race suits and helmets will be included in this auction.

The auction will be a live broadcasted event and bidders will also have the
opportunity to bid for items online. This sale will be conducted at 45 Park
Rd, Tinton Falls, NJ 07724. For further information, visit the auction
