NATCC Announces Super Touring Club
April 11, 1996

Tampa, Florida - The North American Touring Car Championship announced
today the introduction of the "Super Touring Club", which will be the
focus of the Championship's entertainment and hospitality program at six
of the Championships' major events in 1996:

    Lime Rock 		May 25 - 27
    Detroit		June 7 - 9
    Portland 		June 21 - 23
    Toronto		July 12 - 14
    Trois Rivieres 	Aug 2 - 4
    Mid Ohio		Aug   9 - 11
    Vancouver 		Aug 30 - Sept 1
    Laguna Seca		Sept 6 - 8

"The idea," said NATCC President Roger Elliot, "is to create a
comfortable and prestigious environment for Super Touring fans at these
events where they know they can go throughout the weekend to eat, relax,
mingle and meet the Super Touring drivers and key team members. In
addition, we want to extend this opportunity to our sponsors, VIP's, and
guests and those of our teams. In some cases, a team may have a limited
number of guests at an event; this often makes it hard to set up an
appropriate hospitality program. The Super Touring Club will allow them
this opportunity at a very reasonable cost and with a minimum amount
of preparation. If this program is well received in 1996, we plan on
extending it to all our events in 1997."

Super Touring fans will not only be entitled to the use of the Club and
its facilities throughout the respective weekend but will also receive
a grandstand ticket, Championship patch, decal and other Championship
information and material. All Championship drivers will be provided
use of the Club's facilities throughout the year. This will allow them
not only its convenience, but will also provide Super Touring Club
members with direct access to the drivers during each of these events
(in addition to the mandatory drivers autograph session every Sunday at
every event). Super Touring Club tickets can be bought individually or
in groups for a reserved table and will include:
	* Friday lunch
	* Saturday breakfast and lunch
	* Sunday breakfast and lunch
	* Closed circuit television
	* Grandstand ticket and paddock pass
	* Soft drinks
	* Autograph card
	* Super Touring pin, patch and decal
	* Weekend race information

The price will vary from $225. to $325 per event. Information and reservations are available by calling the NATCC office at 813-888-9444.
