THUNDER VALLEY RE-LAUNCHES WOMEN AND MOTORSPORTS WEBSITE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thunder Valley Racing Re-launches Website Devoted to Women and Motorsports

Women have always been competing at the elite levels of motorsport, but now
more than ever, they are experiencing an explosion in popularity. Thunder
Valley Racing, a web site devoted to women racers and their fans, is
officially re-launched today after undergoing its third major renovation
since 1996.  You can find the new site at http://thundervalleyracing.com.

This website overhaul has evolved as NASCAR statistics show women now make
up nearly 40% of the viewing audience. This amazing growth is due, in large
part, to regular starts by Winston Cup driver Shawna Robinson, and
continuous wins for NHRA Pro Stock Bike Champion, Angelle Savoie. In other
areas of motorsport, Sarah Fisher was voted the IRL's most popular driver
in 2001 and drag racing veteran Shirley Muldowney continues to have the
longest autograph lines in the paddock wherever she appears.

Thunder Valley Racing features drivers ranging from women racing at local
dirt tracks to professional drivers with aspirations to move ever higher in
stock car, open wheel, sports car, and exotic forms of the sport, as well
as respected veterans of the sport. The objective of the site is to support
and encourage female drivers racing all over the world, at all levels of
motorsport, and provide an energetic forum for discussion for the drivers
and their fans. Currently featured on Thunder Valley Racing:

* Indy 500 veteran Janet Guthrie shares an excerpt from her autobiography.

* Featured Racer Shawna Robinson of NASCAR Winston Cup.

* Lea Croteau provides a Race Report from Mid-Ohio.

* New Sponsorship section.

* A new Message Board joins the Racer Email Group to foster ongoing
dialogue.

* The Press Room helps women racers and journalists collaborate.

* Variety of Features and News Articles.

For all the details, links and more information about women in motorsports,
check out http://thundervalleyracing.com.  Thunder Valley Racing
celebrates, supports, and promotes women race car drivers working at all
levels of the sport.
