iCard® NEWEST CRA SUPER SERIES’ PARTNER

AS "OFFICIAL WIRELESS TIMING & SCORING DISPLAY" SYSTEM

CRA Super Series and SPP Services today announced iCard® Real-Time Race Information system shall be available to CRA fans and competitors at all the Series’ 2005 events.

iCard® allows fans and competitors real-time wireless access to scoring data, late-breaking announcements as the action unfolds. ICard delivers this information in two ways: (a) is a slim cartridge that fits into the game slot on a Nintendo® handheld GameBoy® Color, Advance, or Advance SP models and (b) directly onto competitor’s and race official’s computers or laptops with the new iCard®USB. With either model, use allows iCard® customers to receive the iCard® broadcast at the track. Users may access a wide range of information with several menu options: event schedule, real time and archived practice and qualifying results, breaking announcements and race standings yielding unprecedented access to up-to-the-minute information on times, speeds and race data at all 2005 events. iCard®USB receives and archives the same content on a PC while at the track. All the iCard® products will be available at trackside from Racing Electronics or online at www.iCardUS.com.

Available in regular, Pro, and USB models, iCard® was developed to work with automated Timing & Scoring systems, relaying data linked to driver names, car numbers and other pertinent information. The data transfer is instantaneous, keeping fans and team members up-to-date with timely info.

The iCard® System, currently utilized by numerous motorsports sanctioning bodies, is expected to make its official CRA debut at Anderson, IN April 16. CRA President R.J. Scott added, "There is no doubt that the ability to deliver this kind of information in such a reliable, clean, efficient, and timely manner will make our events even more enjoyable for our competitors and fans. We’re just glad to have iCard on board and for the commitment they are making to our events."

"We are very please to bring iCard to the CRA Super Series," states Richard Purgason, Vice-President, Business Development for SPP Services, LLC of Buford, Ga. "iCard® is a perfect fit for the short track racer and we’re very pleased to make what we hope is the first of many announcements that our customers can use their iCard® in this, what we see as a vibrant and important oval track series."

The iCard® system is in place at all USAR Hooter’s Pro Cup events, both the NHRA national and Division 4 events, IHRA national events , IRL, Champ Car World Series, Grand Am, American Le Mans, SCCA World Challenge, Trans-Am, USAC Silver Crown, and Kart Stars of Tomorrow national kart series, and dozens of amateur sports car, kart, and autocross clubs around North America.
