PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“MONSTER GARAGE†FAVORITES FIREBALLED! RACING™ SIGN WITH THE ROSS GROUP
Los Angeles, CA, July 19, 2006 – FIREBALLED! RACING™ and FIREBALLED! ENTERPRISES, already legends in the Tuner Universe, take another lap toward wheel-world dominance by signing with marketing provocateurs, The Ross Group.
Fireball Tim Lawrence – creator of concept cars for such films as “Jurassic Park,†“Batman Returns,†“Son of the Mask†and “Gone in 60 Seconds,†wacky host of www.cartv.com, mad genius of automotive design – teamed up with “Tuner Legend” Hubie Fuh and “Licensing Powerhouse†Howard Finelt of IPM to create FIREBALLED! RACINGâ„¢ and the World’s fastest Minis. Now, they join forces with Mary Hall Ross, who all but invented modern product placement when she put a Nino Cerruti suit on Richard Gere in “Pretty Woman.â€
“The Ross Group really brings a great brand development position to our company,†says Chief Operating Officer Finelt. “Mary Hall Ross is a great addition to our company.â€
“This partnership brings a new level of brand promotion to the tuner world,” says Executive Vice President Hubie Fuh. “Mary Hall Ross’s energy and enthusiasm is extremely infectious, and her experience is second to none.”
The Ross Group’s first major project with FIREBALLED! ENTERPRISES is the national “Mini Takes The States†epic ride, where thousands of Mini enthusiasts will cross 19 states in 15 days — the most colorful road trip in history. (See www.minitakesthestates.com for details.)
With a brand new facility in Torrance, THE FIREBALLED! STUDIO SHOP, the FIREBALLED! brand continues to grow. FIREBALLED! RACINGâ„¢ and its maximum Minis have been featured in AUTOWEEK, MOTOR TREND, MAX POWER, MC2, POPULAR MECHANICS,ADDX, and DSPORT, to name but a few. Now, FIREBALLED! RACING is working with MINI USA/BMW NORTH AMERICA to design and develop Limited Edition, One-Off Hollywood Themed Minis.
“The tuner world blows me away,†says Mary Hall Ross, founder of The Ross Group. “The Wall Street Journal called me ‘an innovator,’ but Fireball Tim and the Fireballed! Racing team – they’re the real innovators. It’s exciting and challenging to work with them.â€

Fireballed! Heats up at the ‘BU
To say it was hot was an understatement. Woodland Hills set a record of 119 degrees, causing Malibu to hit an all-time high of 98. And no, it wasn’t because the M600 and Fireball’s Eleanor were in the Malibu Concours…
But the Fireballed! Team had a great time with CarTV and cool guest Jay Leno. He dug the M600 and wants to try it out.
“So this is the famous World’s Fastest Mini?” …said Leno.
“Oh yea,” responded Fireball. “But I can only give you a quarter mile ride.” That was enough to put a smile on the large chinned one.
If Jay likes it, it must be quick. And soon to be quicker…

SOUTH BAY MINI DEBUTS LIMITED EDITION FIREBALLED! MINIS
(Torrance, Ca.) –, Fireball Tim is at it again. The crazed Hollywood Car Designer – creator of concept cars for such films as “Jurassic Park,†“Batman Returns,†“Son of the Mask†and “Gone in 60 Seconds†– is delivering the first two of his one-of-a-kind Fireballed! Mini’s to South Bay Mini on Saturday, July 29, 2006.
The UNVEILING PARTY for the first of 2 of 100 Limited Edition Hollywood-themed Minis begins at 10am with the unveiling at 10:30. There will be a raffle to benefit The Wellness Community in South Bay and the “World’s Fastest Mini,” the M600, will be in the showroom just back from Las Vegas with hot new times!
South Bay Mini has become the “Dealer to the Stars†by inking a pact with FIREBALLED! RACING, â„¢ INC. to design and produce these One-Off, Limited Edition Signature Fireballed! Minis. Fireball Tim, the host of www.CarTV.com, came up with the idea of creating Hollywood-themed numbered one-of a-kind Mini’s using a list from Mini’s uniquely designed brand of factory items.
Add to that wild graphics and anything you can dream up in performance, you’ll call them “Minis on Steroids.” With names like SHOCKWAVE, NEO, ODDJOB and FURY, the line of Hollywood-themed Minis are sure to rocket off shelves just like die-cast cars. “They’re about the same size, too,†jokes Fireball Tim.
You are cordially invited to join the festivities and be among the first to view the new and first two Hollywood-themed Minis’! Come party with Fireball and his tuner buddies:

M600 Smokes a new record in Vegas!
The Fireballed! MiniUSA M600 Flamethrower broke yet another record over this weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Senior Product Manager of MiniUSA, Jeff Stracco and the FTR Team watched as the original record of 11.26 was sheared down to a smolderin’ 11 seconds flat in 122 degree heat!! That’s 150 degrees on the track itself!! With a top speed just over 128mph, Dr. Fuh and the M600 made the Evo look like it was standin’ still! More pix here.
Next race is in Englishtown, New Jersey at the end of September!

Vegas, baby!
The crew is getting all revved up for this coming NHRA Event to let the M600 get out, stretch it’s legs and PUT DOWN SOME FAST TIMES!
But, alas, how will you know how to spot the Fireballed! Team? Oh, that’s too easy. Just look for this:
36′ of fire breathing MINI carrying goodness!
Good luck guys!

South Bay Racers Spied!
These spy shots were taken at the shop of Custom Movie Car Builder, Eddie Paul’s place. The new movie inspired LIMITED EDITION FIREBALLED! SIGNATURE cars from Fireball Tim and FIREBALLED! RACING. “SHOCKWAVE 001″ and “NEO 002.” The first two of what will be 100 Fireballed! Minis coming from South Bay Mini in Torrance. What Fireball Tim is doing to them is unclear, but they are sure to be insane if Eddie Paul is involved. Eddie is known for building the full size “Real” cars for the movie “CARS,” as well as “XXX” and many others. Fireball Tim’s designs will surely be executed to perfection here at Eddie’s undisclosed location.
Sources say that the cars will have truly unique parts compared to the typical Mini components. CNC Hubie Fuh Signature Performance Products from Fireball’s partner in crime to one-off custom components. There’s even word of buyers possibly already in place. ‘Course that’s yet tbd.
Check out the “XXX” GTO next to the wee exposed “NEO.” The other shot looks like Dr. Fuh and Tunemeister Tuls with a shaved head, moments before THIS photographer was escorted to the gate with a couple of bruises.
