FIREBALLED RACING COLLABORATES WITH MINI USA TO COMPETE IN SPEED CHANNEL'S 2008 "STREET TUNER CHALLENGE"

Fireballed Racing and MINI USA Selected to Build Custom Project MINI

Torrance, CA - August 8, 2007... MINI USA and FIREBALLED! RACING & PERFORMANCE!
have been selected to compete on the hit SPEED Channel series "Street Tuner
Challenge" premiering its third season this October, 2007.

FIREBALLED! RACING & PERFORMANCE! representing the European vehicle manufacture
entry, will customize a 2007 MINI Cooper S to go head-to-head with two other
teams modifying their respective US and Asian vehicle entries. The program,
with its 13 planned episodes, airs on SPEED Channel, the fastest growing sports
specialty station in the US with a reach of over 75 million homes via cable and
satellite across North America.

"Street Tuner Challenge" is comprised of three competitive categories for a
winning total score. With 3 months available to each team, the challenge is to
improve three main categories:
* Interior - Upholstery, Audio/Video
* Exterior - Graphics, Paint, Body Design
* Horsepower - Dyno - Stopping - Improved Lap - Improved High Speed

After 13 weeks, all three vehicles face-off in an intense and extremely
entertaining race format called "Time Attack", the hottest new Motorsports
craze from Japan. Three laps - Two heats - Base model vs. Challenge vehicle -
Challenge vehicles vs. the clock. The teams have 30 minutes and as many fast
and furious laps as each can take - only the fastest lap counts... as the three
ultra-modified Street Tuners compete for the top billing.

FIREBALLED! RACING & PERFORMANCE! is uniquely positioned to successfully
compete in the Challenge and has demonstrated via unique development programs
that MINI is an excellent platform for motor sports tuning and performance.
Such MINI projects include their development of the "World's Fastest MINI USA
M600 Flamethrower". This MNI import dragster has earned its title on the NHRA
tracks over the past two years, winning the NHRA Design Award in Englishtown,
NJ. FIREBALLED! RACING & PERFORMANCE! has also developed custom high
performance MINIs and Limited Editions sold through select dealerships.
Fireball Tim's special "Hollywood Design Brand" will also bring an exciting and
creative element to the competition.

Representing the European vehicle manufacture entry, MINI USA will provide the
team with 2007 MINI Cooper S vehicles for modification and competition. With
its razor-sharp handling, expressive design and overt brand personality, MINI
is an ideal entry for the competition. MINI has an impressive racing heritage
and more recently, with its exceptional performance, it has become a success
story in competitive grassroots level motorsports. Customization is another
desirable MINI brand attribute that fits perfectly with the show's concept.
With factory options, there are 150 Trillion possible unique combinations of
MINI that can be built. Add dealer and aftermarket accessories and the number
increases.

"We are proud to be selected to compete against the other two skilled teams who
will be modifying the US and Asian vehicle manufacture entries." said Howard
Finelt COO of Fireballed! Enterprises, Inc. "We believe strongly in the design
and performance abilities of our team featuring Tune Master Hubie Fuh and
Hollywood Car Designer Fireball Tim Lawrence. Both are unsurpassed in their
skill and creativity and should heighten the level of the competition."

"This is a great opportunity for MINI USA to showcase - in the extreme - the
versatility and unique personalizing strengths of our MINI product." said Jeff
Stracco, Product Manager for MINI USA. "Our collaboration with FIREBALLED!
RACING & PERFORMANCE! and our participation in the 2008 "Street Tuner
Challenge" will help us reach out to the enthusiast tuner and racing audience
to show that MINI is an excellent platform to visually customize, performance
tune, and/or compete in motorsports."

"Everyone at WAS Productions is eager to watch FIREBALLED! RACING &
PERFORMANCE! in action as we have seen their work and know they bring elite
skills and craftsmanship to our series." said Dan Woods, Executiver Producer
of Street Tuner Challenge. "The design skills of "Fireball Tim" Lawrence
combined with the mechanical knowledge of Hubie Fuh is a great combination that
few teams can match and we feel MINI USA has chosen well with FIREBALLED!
RACING & PERFORMANCE! as their building partners in this year's "Street Tuner
Challenge".
