More information can be found at ~http://www.redbullrookiescup.com~ . More, from Rispoli himself: FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: My dad brought a couple of computers to Spain with us since he still has to work. I have one that I will be updating the Coolskunk web site with accounts of my trip to Valencia. Not many of us 13- 15 year olds have had the opportunity to be part of such an event and I thought you would all enjoy hearing about what is happening while we were out here. I hope you all enjoy the updates (as long as the wireless keeps working) My dad and I intend to stay all week throughout the three days of run-offs to test, learn and document the event from an American’s point of view. I intend to do my best both on and off the track as always. I have been practicing for weeks the Valencia track on video games. I feel like I know it and have it memorized. We’ll soon see how much it helps!!!! I test on Tuesday. I am having a great time already and can’t wait to see the track tomorrow (Saturday). Check out all the news updates at www.coolskunk.com Thanks again for all your support in 2006 and beyond. James “The Rocket” Rispoli Attica, New York

(Note: Ducati North America issued this corrected version of a previously issued press release.) Cook Neilson and Phil Schilling inducted into the Ducati Hall of Fame Cupertino, CA Ducati North America is proud to announce the winners of the annual “National Best” dealer awards. These awards are the highest honor a Ducati dealer can achieve and were announced at a special dinner celebration, held in conjunction with the national dealer meeting. This year’s national dealer meeting was held in Salt Lake City, Utah at the luxurious Grand America Hotel, with two days designated as formal business meetings, while the third day was set aside for riding at the brand new Miller Motorsports Park. The awards dinner and ceremony was hosted by Michael Lock and Parts Unlimited Ducati Team racers Neil Hodgson and Ben Bostrom. During the course of the evening, Lock, Hodgson and Bostrom proceeded to entertain the 300+ crowd with constant jokes and smatterings of politically incorrect behavior. Throughout the evening, Hodgson was even seen behind the bar, serving drinks to anyone who was foolish enough to order one. A good time was had by all and the party carried on until the wee hours of the morning. “This is perhaps the most fun I have had at a dealer meeting ever, and I have attended so many of these things over the years” said Tom Hicks, owner of Southern California Ducati. “I didn’t win any of the awards, but man, did I laugh and just generally enjoy myself tonight. Sometimes you forget why we are in this business, but this was a great example of how to make something that could be boring and heavy just really fun. It is good to be part of this family.” The “National Best” dealer awards; traditionally given to the top producing Ducati dealers, are the highlight of the annual dealer meeting. Earning one of these awards demonstrates that the dealer has achieved the highest standard retailing for the preceding twelve months. In addition to the Top Dealer awards, Ducati North America inducted Cook Neilson and Phil Schilling into the Ducati Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is a recognition to those who have made a significant contribution to the Ducati brand over the years. Neilson was an accomplished superbike racer and winner of the 1977 Daytona Superbike race with the famous “California Hot Rod”. Schilling was his race tuner and main supporter. The two gave very moving speeches that brought many of the dealers in the audience to tears. Ducati North America salutes the winners and acknowledges the professional accomplishments and personal success of everyone involved.

On July 28, 2006 the Ontario Municipal Board approved the Official Plan Amendment and the required zoning to allow for the operation of Calabogie MotorSports Park. The Alan Wilson designed facility is the largest track in Canada, and the first of this scale to be constructed in more than thirty years. TrackCorpCanada is pleased with the decision of the Board, and will be commencing paving operations immediately. Projected opening for the facility is September 29th, 2006. We’d like to give everyone the opportunity to include Calabogie MotorSports Park in their calendars for this shortened season. Demand has been very strong for Fall track rentals, and we will do our best to accommodate. Rentals will be at an introductory rate, and as an incentive to prospective clients, passes for CMP’s exclusive pre-opening test day will accompany each confirmed rental for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Preference will be given to those that had taken tentative bookings for the 2005 season, and a system for bookings will be sent out the week of August 28th to all groups and individuals that have made inquiries over the past 36 months. All rental inquiries should be emailed to: [email protected]. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience, enthusiasm, and continued support. TrackCorpCanada Inc. continues to receive a very high volume of inquiries and requests. Weekly updates to the website www.CalabogieMotorSports.com will include paving progress, detailed information on accommodations, restaurants and services, local and regional points of interest, track policies and regulations, and our on-site ambulance service. For those interested in employment at CMP, an information session will be held at the track in early September for our marshalling program. Flagging, communications, and safety workers are critical to the safe operation of the facility.
