| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARCH 14, 2007 Rich Oliver continues with Shoei for two more years! Rich Oliver's Mystery School is pleased to announce a continuation of their productive relationship with Shoei Safety Helmets Corporation for the next two years. This will include a selection of brand new Shoei V-MT Motocross helmets for Rich and the Mystery School students to use during their classes, insuring a high level of safety, comfort and passion for all those riding in the varied Mystery School training courses. Rich will also continue to perform in his outstanding X-11 Shoei Oliver replica when he ventures out of retirement once a year for the Roadracing World 250/50 and the Toyota 200 at Willow Springs, CA. Rich will continue to travel the United States and Canada with his Shoei University Seminar Tour. Motorcycle dealers learn the inside story of the Shoei factory manufacturing and testing methods from Rich in an evening seminar. This information is critical for the dealer to learn as it provides a solid foundation and understanding of the Shoei quality and design that they can then pass along directly to their customers. Rich comments, "I am very pleased to be associated with such a fine company as Shoei, my Shoei helmet has saved my life on a number of occasions when I've crashed racing, and I absolutely believe in their quality. I'm a good spokesperson for them because I come from a racing background but I also understand the manufacturing process and the safety testing, so it's easy for me to be passionate about their products. It's also nice to know my students are so well protected."

| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARCH 19th, 2007 Rich Oliver's Mystery School announces its sponsorship of the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club 250 GP Championship Streets Series. Rich Oliver and Willow Springs Motorcycle Club have partnered to promote the 2007 250 GP Streets Series. The series will be known as the 2007 Rich Oliver's Mystery School 250 GP Championship. Rich Oliver is well known in the 250 Grand Prix world as a four-time Willow Springs Roadracing World 250/50 race winner, and a five-time AMA 250 GP Champion. Rich comments, "What a great sponsorship this is! We are looking forward to helping America develop young 250 talent in the WSMC Streets Series, and as you can see from current Moto GP racing, two stroke Grand Prix riders are in high demand now! '250 Grand Prix machines teach a high cornering and momentum riding style, along with accurate and precise steering, braking and shifting techniques. The machines are also highly adjustable, so a young rider can learn about complicated chassis geometry principals and gearbox ratio selection along with engine tuning and jetting. 'Overall 125 and 250 Grand Prix riders learn many lessons that pay dividends on the larger machines they may graduate to in the future. As the new full size bikes get better, a modified Grand Prix riding style will be the way to go, instead of the old point and shoot Superbike style used when the bike has loads of power but won't go around the corners very well. We are proud to be a part of such a great racing organization as the WSMC and the Huth family". The 2007 Champion of the Rich Oliver's Mystery School 250 GP Championship will be awarded a Four-Day Ultra Pro Camp to train with Rich Oliver in this intense program developed for serious riders.

| Rich Oliver guest instructor at the new Jamie James School! Cypress CA. - April 29 – The Jamie James Yamaha Champions Riding school recently completed it’s first class of the 2008 season at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, Alabama. Led by AMA Champion Jamie James as well as World Superbike and AMA Superbike Champion Scott Russell, the special guest instructor for the inaugural school was 5-time Yamaha AMA 250cc National Champion Rich Oliver. Over the course of two days the students split time in the classroom and on the track and observed riding techniques demonstrated by Scott Russell and Rich Oliver. Rich Oliver, who took a break from his own Rich Oliver Mystery School to instruct, said “This was a great opportunity to work with Jamie and Scott again and share our combined National Championship winning experience with the students……and based on the feedback we were well received!” Students especially enjoyed the question and answer sessions with the panel of pro instructors. Student Paul Sutton said, "My favorite part of the school was the track walk with Rich and Scott giving passing laps and lines. I enjoyed Jamie's interaction with all the students.” Barry Gunning, a NESBA control rider said, "My riding improved by the end of the first day". Student Marty Vargas favorites were "The level of skill of all the instructors and their ability to put it in layman's terms plus the amount of track time”. And Paul Layman, 72 years young and very fast according to the instructors, said "I want to thank Yamaha for this new effort to work with Jamie James and put this school together, it was a great experience working with these top notch instructors and the Barber track.” At the end of day two, each student was awarded an autographed group picture of Scott, Jamie and Rich along with a graduation certificate and t-shirt. In the post school survey completed by the students the school received near perfect marks from all in attendance. To add to the excitement local Yamaha dealer, Big #1 Motorsports joined in the fun by sponsoring an event evening and dinner in the Barber Motorsports Museum .

Rich Oliver Added to Announce Team at Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown in Sonoma SONOMA, Calif. — Race fans attending the Kawasaki AMA Sueprbike Showdown at Infineon Raceway will be treated a new perspective over the public-address system as legendary rider Rich Oliver has been added to the raceway’s announce team. Oliver, one of the most decorated riders in AMA history, was inducted into the Infineon Raceway Wall of Fame in 2006 and provided color commentary over the race weekend. This time, he will be a full-time member of the announce team, and race fans will benefit from his experience, as well as his great anecdotal stories. The race weekend, which is presented by Supercuts, is slated for May 16-18. "I started my racing career at Infineon Raceway when I was 16, and later I was able to win five AMA 250 Grand Prix races there, so I do know the track quite well,” said Oliver, who lives in Auberry (near Fresno) and runs Rich Oliver’s Mystery School, a flat-track training school. “Now I want to describe the thrill of racing a motorcycle around this rollercoaster of a track, and give the fans an inside look as to what it takes to win there from a pro rider’s perspective.” Oliver dominated the 250 Grand Prix class in Sonoma , taking the checkered flag four consecutive years (1994-97). Moreover, he won the Grand Prix title a fifth time in Sonoma in 2003 before eventually retiring. One of Oliver’s most crowning moments were his perfect seasons in 1996 and 1997. He won 10 consecutive races each year. Oliver will be joined in the broadcast booth by David Koenig, who will serve as the play-by-play announcer. Koenig, known as David K, is a former racer who also announces at Willow Springs International Raceway and Auto Club Speedway in Fontana .
