Buffalo, NY: Dunlop Tires is pleased to announce that Dunlop will step up
support at the final amateur national round of the 2008 season, sponsoring
the 2008 Mini O¹s Winter Olympics Live Timing System. Live timing will be
displayed online at http://www.mxtransponders.com during the entire event, which
kicks off in Gainsville, FL on November 24-29.

Dunlop¹s support of the Live timing system will give amateur racing
enthusiasts across America and around the world the opportunity to view
timing, scoring and race results as they are recorded and will be featured
online throughout the five days of competition. In addition to online
support, Dunlop is also making race results and times available trackside at
the Mini O¹s held at Gatorback Cycle Park, sponsoring the distribution of
results to riders, families and fans.

³Dunlop is excited to have the opportunity to extend its support and make
amateur national racing accessible to enthusiasts everywhere,² said Dunlop
Tires Motorcycle Vice President Mike Buckley. ³Dunlop is on the ground at
amateur racing competitions around the country all year supporting young
riders and their families via the Dunlop Tire Support Program, but there are
many family members, friends and enthusiasts who can¹t make it to the final
2008 event for the whole five days.

³Transponders will be fitted to every race bike and the data recorded will
instantly be viewable on the website. The online timing system is easily
accessible and means nobody has to miss any of the action packed racing that
we have seen all year. It doesn¹t matter where people are in the world,
anyone will be able to get online and watch the racing results as they
happen.²

The 2008 Mini O¹s Winter Olympics competition will also be the final event
for 2008 at which Team Dunlop members and Dunlop amateur competitors can
utilize Dunlop¹s national trackside tire support. Dunlop personnel have been
on hand at every major national amateur-racing event this year assisting
Dunlop competitor¹s with their tire needs.
