USGP PADDOCK PASS LOTTERY

ADDITIONAL PADDOCK PASSES AVAILABLE FOR RED BULL U.S. GRAND PRIX

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Passes Will Be Distributed Through Random Draw

MONTEREY, Calif. (May 16, 2006) - Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca announced today
the process for distributing an additional allotment of paddock passes
recently released for the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix July 21-23, featuring the
MotoGP World Championship and the AMA Superbike Championship. The random
selection process will bring the total number of paddock passes sold equal
to the 2005 event, the largest event in the history of Mazda Raceway Laguna
Seca.

Beginning Wednesday, May 17 at 8:00 a.m. (PST) and continuing through
Tuesday, June 6 at 5:00 p.m. (PST), motorcycle fans may register for up to 6
paddock passes, equal to the number of general admission tickets that person
has purchased. At the conclusion of the registration period, orders will be
drawn and filled randomly until the allotment of paddock passes has been
sold.

"The paddock pass level for the 2006 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix was initially
restricted, but we have now been given the ability to sell more paddock
passes that will take us to the level of paddock attendance in 2005," said
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca CEO/General Manager Gill Campbell. "Because of the
high demand we anticipate for these additional Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix
paddock passes, we felt the best way to distribute them is through this
system. This should eliminate long wait times when calling our ticket office
and make the process fair for all wishing to purchase paddock passes."

All entries will require a valid credit card to enter the selection process.
The card will not be charged, however, until that purchaser has had their
reservation slip selected.

Purchases may be made on-line at www.laguna-seca.com/paddockpasses or during
normal business hours at (800) 327-SECA. Only one entry per person, per
address, per credit card will be accepted. Duplicate entries will void all
previous entries by that individual. Entries will be drawn at random
beginning at 9:00 a.m. (PST) on Wednesday, June 7 by an Independent
Contracted Auditor.

Complete rules are available at www.laguna-seca.com/paddockpasses.

More information on the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix, including the revised
traffic plan for 2006, is available at www.RedBullUSGrandPrix.com or by
