RICHMOND, CA-August 21, 2006.

Ken Myers, president of I/O Port Racing Supplies, stated that "I/O Port has been involved with NASA since 1995. All I/O Port employees are active NASA officials with the NorCal region. We also help sponsor NASA race classes and the NASA officials' uniforms. This program is just another opportunity for us to give back to the NASA racing community."

The I/O Port contingency program applies to all classes at the Championship event. "From American Iron to the Vette-Viper Challenge, we want to support everyone!" Ken exclaimed. The awards will consist of $50.00 gift certificates to all 1st place finishers. In order to qualify, there must be at least 5 starters in the class and the competitors must have made a purchase directly from I/O Port during 2006. I/O Port decals must be displayed, one on each side of the car, during practice, qualifying and the race. Decals are supplied with purchase. Extra decals are available by calling I/O Port at 1-800-949-5712.

In addition, if the winner has purchased a HANS, Hutchens II, R3 or Hybrid head and neck restraint, Autopower roll cage or made any purchase totaling over $1,000 worth of products from I/O Port Racing Supplies during 2006, then I/O Port will double the award to a $100.00 gift certificate!
