AHDRA'S SCREAMIN' EAGLE PERFORMANCE PARTS CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RETURNING TO ESPN2'S "INSIDE DRAG RACING" IN 2005

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., February 9, 2005 - The All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA) has announced a new agreement with Masters Entertainment to broadcast eight events in 2005.

All but one of the eight events will air on ESPN2's Inside Drag Racing. The final event of the season - from Las Vegas - will be broadcast as two stand-alone episodes on ESPN2's In the Driver's Seat.

AHDRA began working with Masters Entertainment and the Inside Drag Racing series in 2003. ESPN/ESPN2 reaches 87 million households and is the obvious choice for racing fans.

AHDRA President Craig Tharpe says AHDRA will continue to host several outlets for television broadcasts but feels the Inside Drag Racing series holds the key to establishing the needed fan base for the sport.

Look for the Masters Entertainment cameras at AHDRA events in Commerce, GA; Norwalk, OH; Budds Creek, MD; Bristol, TN; St. Louis; Rockingham, NC; and Las Vegas.

The events are televised on a delayed schedule and broadcast dates will be announced in the near future.

AHDRA's limited commercial and sponsor segments within each show will be available on a first-come/first-served basis. For more information, interested parties may contact Colbert Seagraves, Marketing and Sponsorship Director, at 336-924-2095.
