BOBBY ARCHER AND VIPERSPEED RACING ANNOUNCE
2003 PLANS AND SPONSORSHIPS


Fort Worth, TX, February 13, 2003. Bobby Archer and the ViperSpeed Racing team announced today a full schedule of racing for 2003, including competing in several SCCA National races, a couple of NASA races, and in the Viper Racing League (VRL). Archer will be joined in 2003 by fellow Texas drivers Dr. Deborath Loth, Dan Knox, and Dave Fiorelli, all of whom are being supported by Bobby Archer Motorsports and ViperSpeed Racing. This four-car effort by ViperSpeed Racing represents the largest Viper racing program to date. “The growth of this team is a natural extension of our success racing Dodge Vipers,” said Archer, whose accomplishments behind the wheel of a Viper include winning the 1999 Speedvision World Challenge GT Championship and back-to-back SCCA Southwest Division T1 Championships in 2001 and 2002. In total, Archer and ViperSpeed have produced 34 road racing wins in five years of racing Vipers in the World Challenge GT class, in SCCA’s T1 class, and in the GT2 class of the VRL.

ViperSpeed Racing is also proud to announce that SuperClubs Resorts will return in 2003 as the primary sponsor of Archer’s now-familiar black No. 32 ViperSpeed T1 Viper. "We are extremely pleased to be back as the primary sponsor of Bobby and the ViperSpeed Racing team," said David J. Hancock, Vice President of U.S. Sales for SuperClubs Resorts. "SuperClubs Resorts are the Caribbean's finest all-inclusive resorts and offer the best values in vacation packages for every type of customer. They are a strong competitor in the vacation resort business and they know what it takes to be successful, just as Bobby Archer knows what it takes to be successful on the race track,” said Tony Arbelaez, Director of Sponsorship for ViperSpeed.

"SuperClubs prides itself on the high level of service, quality, and value offered to guests," says John Issa, chairman of SuperClubs, who introduced the "all-inclusive" concept in Jamaica when he created the first all-inclusive hotel on the island in 1976, Negril Beach Village, which later became Hedonism II in 1981. "The all-inclusive idea has become somewhat diluted in recent years. Many people travel to "all-inclusive" resorts and unexpectedly encounter concealed charges," says Mr. Issa. "At SuperClubs, the Super-Inclusive holiday package encompasses everything in one up-front price." SuperClubs was recently honored with three prestigious Crystal Apple Awards from client surveys completed by 500,000 guests who evaluated a total of 800 hotels in 35 countries, including (1) Best Hotel Chain, (2) "Best All-Inclusive" award (Grand Lido Sans Souci), and (3) "Best Staff and Service" (Hedonism II) for the second consecutive year. SuperClubs also swept six Golden Apple awards for Grand Lido Negril, Grand Lido Sans Souci, Grand Lido Braco, Breezes Runaway Bay, Hedonism II and Hedonism III. Through a special sales promotion, Archer and ViperSpeed are able to offer great discounts on SuperClubs Resorts for vacations purchased directly through the team. Contact Bobby Archer Motorsports at 817-877-1772 for more information.

“I could not be happier about having SuperClubs back as my primary sponsor this year”, said Archer. “For club-level racing, having this level of sponsorship commitment for three years straight is really something. It tells me that our partnership with SuperClubs has been good for them too.” Archer’s other sponsors returning for 2003 include Hoosier Tire, Forgeline wheels, Sparco, Team Tech, Red Line Oil, Cyclo, Superior Racing Fuels, Ringers Gloves, Bosch spark plugs, and Rally Wax.

The first race of 2003 for Archer and the other ViperSpeed drivers will be the annual “Polar Prix” SCCA Double National this weekend (Feb. 14-16) at Texas World Speedway. For 2003, Archer, Loth, and Fiorelli will be competing in the SCCA’s Southwest Division, where Archer is the defending T1 champion, while Knox will be competing in the SCCA’s Midwest Division, where Dr. Loth is the defending T1 champion. After the Polar Prix, scheduled races for the ViperSpeed drivers include: March 22, Motorsport Ranch (NASA); April 12, Corpus Christi (SCCA); April 25, Mid-Ohio (VRL); May 3, Texas Motor Speedway (SCCA); May 24, Texas World Speedway (SCCA); June 21, Road America (SCCA); Sept. 15, Mid-Ohio (SCCA); Oct. 17, Motorsport Ranch (VRL); and Nov. 7, Texas Motor Speedway (VRL).
