Press Release:

Saturday, May 16th 1998

The debut of the new Mayhem Racing Shelby Charger rally car was filled
with excitement in the Mayhem service area.  The car looked great and
everything seemed to be in rally-ready shape.

The Headwaters divisional PRO Rally event was held in Park Rapids,
Minnesota, on May 16th 1998.  The event consisted of 6 stages with a service
break after three.  Mayhem Racing was to start in 4th position with a
repositioning of the run order to occur after the first three stages.

The event started out in great shape as Mark and Paul were blazing through
the Northern Minnesota woods at high speed.  At the end of the first three
stages, they found themselves in first place overall.

At service, there was some concern about the car running a little hot.
Since the next three stages were to be run in the dark, they knew the
ambiant temperature would fall so the problem should not cause concern.
Regular service was performed on the car with no other problems found.

With darkness setting in, Mayhem was 1st out (due to the repositioning) at
the start of the transit to the beginning of the fourth stage.  Mayhem set
the fastest time on the next two stages (4 and 5) and maintained both 1st
place in O2 class and 1st place overall.

The sixth and final stage of the event held a nasty surprise for the
Mayhem Racing team.  About 3 miles in on a relatively long stage, they
found trouble.  Coming left over crest a little too quickly, the car hit a
berm on the right rear side of the car.  The result of that impact lifted
the rear of the car up in the air.  The car proceeded to bounce on the
nose once and come back down onto all four wheels very hard.  Immediately
after that, while the car was starting to spin in a clockwise direction,
they slammed into a tree on Mark's (the driver's side) door.  The impact
sent the car spinning in a counterclockwise direction 1-1/2 times around
until it came to rest pointing back up the stage.  Fearing the arrival of
the next car on the stage, Mark quickly got the car turned around and on
it's way down the stage.

The impact with the berm broke the rim on the right rear so the tire went
flat immediately.  They completed the stage (and the 15 mile transit back
to the hotel!) on 3 tires and 1 rim.

Due to the problems encountered on the final stage, Mayhem Racing fell
down 2 spots overall but they had built up a large enough lead to retain
1st place in class.

Mark reported sore ribs due to the fact that the impact with the tree on
his door caught his arm between the door and his ribs.  Paul was
physically OK but did report feeling a little ill on the last stage.

The damage to the Charger could not be safely repaired and it was retired.
