SPEED TECHNOLOGIES CAPTURES FIRST BAJA 1000 CLASS 1 WIN AT THE TECATE SCORE BAJA 1000 IN ENSENADA

-Reno off-road teams cross the line and brings home first in class after a grueling 14 hour race-



Ensenada, Baja California (November 22nd) --- Speed Technologies, one of the largest and foremost off-road race teams in the United States and Mexico, captured their first Class 1 win this past weekend at the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. The HMS Avenger, driven by Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey and John Herder, started off first off the line in its class and was the first Class 1 car to cross the finish line over 14 hours later with only one flat tire the entire 630 mile desert race. This is the first Class 1 win for Speed Technologies and only their third Baja 1000.

"We are overjoyed," said team owner John Harrah. "We have worked so hard to get to this point and it feels so good – but I always knew we had it in us."

The team, headed by team manager Phil Johnson and Kevin Singleton of Exotic Engines, pre-ran the course for over a week to make sure that every possible outcome was explored. The 20 person pit and support crew worked day and night to prep the car for the upcoming the granddaddy of off-road races.

"When John passed the car over to me at the half way point I knew we had a shot at it," said Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey. "We'd dominated the race the entire first half with only one flat tire and we had managed to maintain a significant lead – I felt like this was our race."

Speed Technologies has only been competing in the off-road circuit for a little over two years, but drivers Chuck Dempsey and John Herder both have a long history of Baja wins – that combined with first class mechanics, sponsors like Toyo tires, support and top notch pit crew helped catapult this team to victory.

"I feel as if we are on top of the world," said team manager Phil Johnson. "We did it – we really did it."

Speed Technologies was not the only Reno, NV based team to claim victory at the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. Roger Norman Racing, another Reno, NV based off-road team, won first place in the trophy truck category making it a great day for this Nevada town.

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES BRINGS HOME A SECOND PLACE CLASS 1 FINISH AT THE BILEK RACING SILVER STATE “300”

Reno, NV (October 2nd, 2008)--Speed Technologies, one of the largest off-road race teams in the United States and Mexico, had plenty to celebrate last weekend at the Bilek Racing Silver State “300” in Mesquite. The HMS Avenger, driven by Chuck Dempsey and John Herder, took home a second place finish during the race --- the best ranking the team has achieved since they began their off-road journey two years ago.

“What a great day,” said team owner John Harrah. “We are finally making some serious headway with our car – our drivers are on target, our pit crews are in top shape and the entire team is really coming together.”

The race started off a bit bumpy for Dempsey and Herder after spending a day of hard work getting the car back on track after it had over heated during the qualifier (in which they ranked 7th). But once the team took to the track on race day there was no stopping them.

Herder ran the first part of the race hard and fast in typical John Herder racing style and managed to get the car into 4th place when he handed it over to Dempsey.

“When John got to the pit and handed the car over to me he told me that the car was running great, but you’ve got no brakes so do the best you can,” Dempsey said.

Dempsey was a little nervous because the course is very mountainous and challenging, but this seasoned driver is no chicken when it comes to challenges and jumped in the car ready to bring it home.

Although not having any breaks during the race certainly made it a challenge, it literally didn’t slow them down one bit. By the time Dempsey reached the pit in Calliente, he had passed two other cars putting them in second place. With the first place cars’ dust in sight, the race had ended with the HMS Avenger finishing only 2 minutes behind the wining car. A victory for any team and a win for Speed Technologies.

“Over all I think the whole team did great job and we were all winners because we are getting closer to a 1st place win,” Dempsey said.

The Jimco class 10 car, driven by Mark Levrett and Casey Currie, got off to a bit of a rocky start. It began with an electrical glitch and a dead battery at the start line. Their problems were solved with 30 seconds to spare before the green light thanks to the help of crew members and helpful spectators.

“By pit one,” Levrett explained, “we were breathing down the neck of first place, but they decided to make a quick stop at the pit to do a rolling visual check on an oil leak they had repaired the day before. This gave the car in first place a slight advantage on the Speed Technologies team.”

Within 10 miles they had caught up to the leader and were looking for a break which would allow them to take the lead and by mile 60 they had caught the leader.

“We had no dust and clear sailing to the finish in our Speed Technologies / Exotic Engine class 10 car,” Levrett said.

Unfortunately, the victorious feeling didn’t last long. By mile 80, in a long silt covered section of the course and with the second place car only 10 or so minutes behind, the motor blew up ending the race for Levrett and Currie, but not ending the drive and force behind the Speed Technologies team to be number one.

Reno, NV (September 25th, 2008) – Speed Technologies, one of the largest and foremost off-road race team in the United States and Mexico, is gearing up for another Nevada race this weekend.

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES AND BULLY DOG’S CASEY CURRIE TAKES 2ND IN PRO-LITE DURING ROUNDS 11 & 12 AT CHULA VISTA

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES AND BULLY DOG’S CASEY CURRIE TAKES 2ND IN PRO-LITE DURING ROUNDS 11 & 12 AT CHULA VISTA

-First year driver Chuck Dempsey conquers 8th Place-



Chula Vista, CA (September 15th) – Casey Currie fought hard and fast to capture his podium finish this past weekend during rounds 11 & 12 of the 2008 CORR race season. After having a tough time during the first qualifying round and starting 9th Currie managed to come back and finish less than one second behind Marty Hart for a second place finish – his third podium this year.

“Going into the weekend we felt like we had a fast truck,” Currie said. “After grueling testing we knew that the truck was ready to handle anything the race could throw at it”

Currie started round 11 in the 5th row and by the second last he was already in the sixth position – he started picking off his competitors one by one and found himself sitting in 4th by the halfway point of the race. Knowing the truck was fast and furious, Currie went deep into the first turn after the caution lap, but another driver hit the back of him and took him out. Currie managed to finish the first round in 17th place and his crew spent the better part of the night getting the truck ready for round 12.

Round 12 proved to be a winning combination for Currie – a fast truck, a 3rd place start and a strong lead during the first half of the race. Currie and Marty Hart battled it out during the entire race attacking each other and fighting for that first place finish. Though Currie didn’t manage to pull into first place his 2nd place finish was only five tenths of a second behind the winner.

"I needed one more lap,” Currie said. “I have never been able to actually battle the leaders so it was something new that I needed to learn – I think the experience really helped me grow as a driver. We are ready for Primm!”

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES CORR RACERS CASEY CURRIE AND CHUCK DEMPSEY READY FOR ROUNDS 11 & 12 AT CHULA VISTA THIS WEEKEND

The team continues its expansion into CORR and focuses on improvement and teamwork



Reno, NV (September 11th, 2008) – Speed Technologies, one of the largest and foremost race teams in the United States and Mexico, continues racing in the CORR series this weekend with two Pro-Lite trucks. The trucks are sponsored by both Bully Dog and Speed Technologies.

Chuck Dempsey, a full-time Speed Technologies driver who also races in both the SCORE and Best in the Desert race series, is continuing his education in CORR racing under the Casey Currie Racing banner with sponsorships by Speed Technologies and Bully Dog. The team, led by Casey Currie, recently added Dempsey and is excited to parlay his extensive desert racing experience into the CORR arena.

“The biggest thing with Chuck is that it’s a learning process,” said Casey Currie. “CORR is a new style of racing for him and we are restructuring the team to help Chuck drive faster and get him into the top ten.”

Casey Currie, a well known CORR and motorcycle racer, has already captured two podium finishes this year and is looking to bring another one home.

“We’ve spent the last month testing the trucks and they’re more dialed in than ever before – I feel more comfortable behind the wheel with the new suspension changes and I looking for a top placement this race,” said Currie.

This is Dempsey’s first year racing CORR, but he’s well-known in desert racing circles and in 2005 took home a first place motorcycle finish in the Baja 500. Currie has been competing in the off road and motorcycle circuit for over six years. In 2005 Currie raced the SuperTT series in Southern California, and after advancing to the AMA professional SuperMoto series he placed fifth in the nation.

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES BRINGS TWO CARS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE AT SCORE TERRIBLE’S PRIMM 300

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES BRINGS TWO CARS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE AT SCORE TERRIBLE’S PRIMM 300

The V-10 Dominator Completes its First Race and the HMS Avenger Takes 11th Place





Primm, NV (September 9th, 2008) – The SCORE Terrible’s PRIMM 300 was a milestone race for Speed Technologies – they didn’t break any records or achieve a podium finish, but their most powerful and highly watched car, (#122) The Dominator driven by John Herder, made it across the finish line for the first time since the car joined the team at the 2007 Baja 1000. One of only four in the world The Dominator is a powerful beast --- and along with that power came many mechanical challenges that the Speed Technologies team had to overcome.

“Kevin Singleton, owner of Exotic Engines and partner of Speed Technologies, spent the last few weeks adjusting the clutch on The Dominator, the main problem since day one, and fine tuning it so that it could handle all the power of the engine,” said Dominator driver John Herder. “We took it nice and easy this race – we wanted to find out if the modifications were on target and our main goal was finishing the race and bringing The Dominator across the finish line. Now that we’re on our way you bet you’re going to see this one of a kind vehicle take a home a well deserved and long overdue victory.”

The four lap race challenged drivers with grueling 100 degree temperatures coupled with a dusty track and pour visibility, but bringing both these cars across the line was well worth the effort.

“The HMS Avenger drove pretty well today --- we didn’t have a lot of mechanical issues besides losing a serpentine belt on lap two,” said Driver of Record of Chuck Dempsey. “We’re working on our suspension, as there are some problems we are trying to work out, but once we get that dialed in we will be on target. Thanks to Toyo Tires we had no flats and the entire pit crew did a great job.”

Dempsey, a former Baja 500 winner, maintains the top three point’s position in the SCORE Desert Race Series, along with his co-driver Raymond Barre and Mark Levrett.

“This race is important to us as a team – we love racing in Primm and with the help of the Speed Technologies crew and our sponsor Toyo Tires I feel as if our cars are ready to tackle the course and come out on top,” said Chuck Dempsey.

Dempsey, a season desert racer, is currently holding onto the top three point’s position in the Class 1 category of the SCORE Desert Race Series. This veteran racer also competes in the Best in the Desert series and recently spearheaded Speed Technologies expansion into CORR Racing and hopes, along with the entire Speed Technologies crew, to help lead the team to the podium over the next year.

John Herder, who took home first place in the Best in the Desert Terrible’s 250 in 2006 in his Jimco Chevy powered Class 1500 car, will be behind the wheel of the V-10 Jimco Dominator and plans to bring this car across the finish line.

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES HAS AN ASTONISHING WEEKEND AT THE TSCO VEGAS TO RENO OFF ROAD RACE, CAPTURING THREE TOP FINISHES IN THE MOTORCYCLE CLASS

- The Duo of Adam Thissen and Robert Underwood Fought Hard to take an Amazing Third Overall Against the Best of the Best. MRANN Champion Cody Wallis, along with Team Mate Martin Kite Rode to First Place in the 250 PRO Class, while Young Guns Cody Knight & Ryan Toomey Crossed the Line First in 250 Expert Class. Amazingly The class 1 HMS Avenger Driven by Mark Levrett and Chuck Dempsey (#1528) Finished 15th After a Hard Battle with Bad Luck.-

Reno, NV (August 25th, 2008)---The TSCO Vegas to Reno Race will long be remembered by the Speed Technologies team as a break through race that brought home two first place finishes and a third overall for the motorcycle team, with the HMS Avenger finished in 15th place. The grueling race began in Beatty, Nevada and ended just south of Reno in Dayton. It covered almost 500 miles of dusty terrain and blistering heat that proved most challenging for the whole team.

The first year addition to Speed Technologies consists of a six man motorcycle team, Adam Thissen, Robert Underwood, Cody Wallis, Martin Kite, Cody Knight and Ryan Toomey. They are quickly rising to the top of the field, capturing top finishes at races across the US and Mexico, the TSCO Vegas to Reno race being no exception.

Adam Thissen and Robert Underwood have raced the TSCO Vegas to Reno race together for the past two years and relied on each others strengths to overcome the mental and physical challenges brought on by competitors and the challenges from the desert.

“Robert is a rider that prefers the rough and tight sections, while I’m much more at home when the course is wide open,” said Speed Technologies Adam Thissen. “We each rode the sections that best fit our riding styles– this is helping us become more successful as a team.”

Thissen and Underwood are no strangers to top finishing – they placed 6th overall at this years Parker 425, and at last year’s Vegas 300 the duo captured a 2nd place in class. This season Underwood won the May 15th MRANN race located in northern Nevada. They are also on target to win this year’s Best in the Desert Open Pro championship.

“This course was really, really challenging,” said Cody Wallis. “I rode with a separated shoulder that I injured during the pre-run at the beginning of August, and all of the bumps didn’t make it very easy on me. Martin and I stuck together and we are so happy with our first place finish.”

Mark Levrett and Chuck Dempsey managed to overcome electrical problems and serpentine belts issues in class 1 to bring the HMS Avenger across the finish line.

“Luck was not on our side,” said Levrett. “First we had electrical problems and then all the dust and rocks kept creating problems with torque converter pump belt – it was a hard and hot for us, but fortunately we came together as a team and managed to complete the entire race.”

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES COMPLETES 40TH TECATE SCORE BAJA 500 AND FINISHES IN THE TOP TEN

-The HMS Avenger & Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey and Mark Levrett completed the grueling race with no mechanical problems-



Ensenada, Baja (June 4th, 2008) The 40th Tecate SCORE Baja 500 that took place May 29th –June 1st in Ensenada was a tough race for Speed Technologies – not because of their car, which completed the race without any mechanical problems, but because of Mother Nature. The team arrived in Baja a week before the event so that they could spend enough time understanding the course and getting to know the terrain.

“We spent a week down in Baja pre-running the course,” said crew chief Phil Johnson. “Our guys spent hundreds of hours both on and off the race course. It’s such a team effort to make something like this happen.”

Driver Mark Levertt started out the race with no problems, but at mile marker 18 the road was covered in dust and the drivers couldn’t see two feet in front of them. A curve threw the team, as well as about 10 other drivers, off a 100 foot embankment and into a canyon full of boulders and rocks. After surveying the car Levrett thought the race was over for Speed Technologies, but after walking a mile backwards on the course he encountered some locals willing to drive to a nearby ranch and inquire about borrowing their tractor. By the time Levertt got back the Speed Technologies chase crew were already on the scene helping to pull out fellow drivers and cars. After pulling out five different race vehicles the team realized that the HMS Avenger was buried too deep for a 4-wheel drive to pull out.

“I was starting to get frustrated,” said driver Mark Levrett. “But I hate giving up and I’m always determined to find a way out of any situation.”

Right at that moment Levrett looked up and saw a huge tractor coming down the path. The local rancher, happy to help out the Speed Technologies crew, put down his blade and cut a brand new road all the way to the car and then hooked a tow rope to the back and successfully freed the vehicle from Mother Nature’s trap. The Speed Technologies crew were back on the course and completed the first part of the race with no other problems.

The driver change went smoothly and Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey took control of the car, the Speed Technologies pit crew changed all the tires and the team was back on track. But—Mother Nature still wasn’t finished. At mile marker 375 Dempsey encountered a line of cars that had gotten stuck in the silt – the backup lasted for over an hour while the Speed crew, along with other drivers, worked tirelessly to help other cars get out and waited their turn. The crew went on to capture a 9th place finish – rounding out the top ten drivers to complete this grueling off-road challenge.

“Our car ran perfectly – not one single little issue or problem,” said Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey. “This is off-road racing – you can a great day mechanically, but the challenges of Baja can sometimes try to bring you down. We refused to go down and I’m happy with our finish time.”

-Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey and Mark Levertt Currently Rank 3rd Overall for Points in the Class 1 Series-



Reno, NV (May 20th, 2008) – After only two full years on the professional off-road race circuit Speed Technologies is already breaking away from the pack and proving that they’re one of the nation’s top off-road teams and a force to be reckoned with. Speed Technologies Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey and Mark Levertt are heading into the 40th Tecate SCORE Baja 500, taking place May 29th –June 1st in Ensenada, holding onto one of the coveted top three points positions in the Class 1 series. The duo will start 6th off the line in car #106.

Dempsey and Levertt are no strangers to winning – Dempsey’s team won the Baja 500 on a motorcycle in 2005 and brought home second place trophy truck finish in the 2006 San Felipe Baja 250. Levertt, new to the professional off-road racing scene, comes from a long line of victories in motocross arena and jet skiing – capturing regional finishes across the board. These two aggressive and focused racers, together with their co-drivers JJ Johnson and Raymond Barre, make a formidable team and they’ve already proven their compatibility both on and off the course.

“We’ve grown so much as a team over the past year,” said Chuck Dempsey. “Mark and I work really, really well together and our co-drivers, JJ Johnson and Raymond Barre, are second to none.”

The team plans to tackle the 440 mile course in the HMS Avenger with Levertt and Johnson starting out the race and passing the car over to Dempsey and Barre at the 221 mile marker. The 40th Tecate SCORE Baja 500 is traditionally one of the most popular races in the off-road world and draws over 100,000 spectators from across the globe.

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES CELEBRATES THREE TOP TEN FINISHES DURING THE 22ND TECATE SCORE SAN FELIPE 250 OFFROAD RACE

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES CELEBRATES THREE TOP TEN FINISHES DURING THE 22ND TECATE SCORE SAN FELIPE 250 OFFROAD RACE

Dempsey/ Levrett Took the Unlimited Class 1 Car to 9th, While Wallis/Thissen/Underwood Celebrate 7th and Knight/Toomey/Kite Celebrate 9th in the Open Pro Class on Motorcycles

San Felipe, Mexico (March 19, 2008)—The Speed Technologies team had plenty to celebrate this past weekend during the 22nd running of the Tecate Score San Felipe 250, with three top ten finishes. First time Speed Technology Motorcycle team riders Cody Wallis, Adam Thissen and Robert Underwood took home 7th place in the Open Pro motorcycle class and their teammates Cody Knight, Ryan Toomey and Martin Kite took 9th. Chuck Dempsey and Mark Levrett finished 7th in the Class 1 car -- giving the Speed Technologies team three top ten finishes.

"This wasn't an easy race for us, but both our bike guys and Class 1 drivers are some of the best in the business and they managed to push through this harsh course and come out in the top ten," said team owner John Harrah.

Chuck Dempsey, along with co-driver Patrick Pena, drove the first part of the course with no problems and managed to push the HMS Avenger toward the front of the pack. They handed the car over to Mark Levrett and co-driver JJ Johnson at mile marker 93 where the duo took over to tackle the final leg of the grueling course. A few miles into the second leg the motor quit running, fortunately the team quickly discovered an electronic relay had fallen out that controls the onboard engine computer---once it was fixed the car fired right up and again the team was back on race course, only now about 25 minutes behind the leaders.

" We had an engine relay problem along with a few other typical race issues that cost us a bit of valuable time, but we were able to stay focused and we still came out with a great finish,” said driver Mark Levrett.“ “The strength of our team and our drive to win gets stronger with every race we attend."

Not to be outdone the Speed Technologies Motorcycle Team welcomed all of their riders across the finish line – with a 7th and 9th place finish.

"This race felt really good and everything really fell into place," said Cody Wallis. "We've never been to Baja before and we weren't sure what to expect---but with plenty of pre-running of the course and the support of our Speed Technology team members we were ready to race and confident that we could overcome the challenge of the Baja."

Speed Technologies will be competing in the 2008 Terrible's "250" at Primm, Nev. April 17th-19th. For more information on Speed Technologies please visit www.speed-technologies.com or call 775-851-7492.
