| PRESS RELEASE FROM WISSOTA | 2008 |
| Four new sponsors partner with WISOSTA to provide valuable products to region's drivers DASSEL, MN - The WISSOTA Promoters Association is excited to announce the addition of more new sponsors to the already extensive associate sponsor program for its more than 2,800 drivers in six divisions at more than 50 tracks in six states and two Canadian provinces. G-FORCE RACING GEAR The first of the new line-up of awards being provided to drivers by WISSOTA sponsors is the G-Force Racing Gear Rookie of the Year award. First-year competitors in all six divisions - WISSOTA Late Models, WISSOTA Modifieds, WISSOTA Super Stocks, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, WISSOTA Street Stocks and WISSOTA Mod Fours - are eligible for an exciting new rookie of the year program. G-Force Racing Gear is thrilled to be able to award each WISSOTA division’s rookie of the year title in 2008 a G-Force GF-525 drivers suit. The award winning GTex construction that has been used in all G-Force Racing Gear suits has been utilized to manufacture the GF-525 at specs that exceed the SFI 3.2A/5 specifications. The SFI 3.2A/5 tag is included and has been moved to the left arm cuff so that tech inspectors can easily see the certification. The multi layers of this suit have been produced with a proprietary blend of Pyrovatex® fabric and classified materials to achieve the TPP rating of 21. The inner layer of the GF-525 is a comfortable bend that wicks moisture from the skin while providing a breathable feel. The GF-525 comes with an attractive semi-gloss finish, so the wearer can stand out and be noticed. The clean color styles of the GF-525 give a finished look to attract both fans and potential sponsors. The shoulders of the GF-525 come accented with straight, black epaulets that give the driver a crisp edge to the apex of the shoulder line so that you portray the consummate racer. The GF-525 comes standard with 360 degree, knit arm gussets. These flexible shoulder-to-arm junctions provide the full range of motion so that your responses are instant. The waistline of the GF-525 is held tight with the all-new, Lok-Tru belt tensioning system. The Lok-Tru belt eliminates the need for elastic in the waist and offers a form fitted look for the driver. The legs of the GF-525 are finished with hidden cuffs under a wide, boot cuff pant leg. The boot cuff mirrors today's trends and proves, just like your racing technology, your styles match the latest advancements. The pockets of the GF-525 are inset or sewn inside to hide seams and provide more usable space with a cleaner design. G-Force Racing Gear has everything a driver needs for his racing from racing suits, gloves, footwear, helmets and safety belt harness systems. Dealer info, catalog information and listings of all of their fine products can be found at www.gforce.com. Ask your favorite race shop for G-Force products whenever you need safety equipment.
