Good morning
Another vehicle using GS610 (Australian Superbike Chamionship Cycle)
”Team Manager Gesmond Catania said“ Regarding the race fuel, Martini 102 continually out performs all other fuels tested due to it’s stability from batch to batch we experienced a significant reduction in detonation throughout the weekend, clocking our fastest time so far at Philip Island with a conservative tune up of 1min.42secs.”
Gesmond also commented on the GS610 Brake fluid saying, “Prior to this meeting we have tried a considerable number of varieties of brake fluid but this product (gs610) has proved to be far more superior, we did not do a fluid change all weekend and still no brake fade like previous oils used”
Diamonds, everybody want diamonds, diamonds, diamonds!

I didn't get to see it, that's cool. Here's the complete story:
Marco Andretti becomes youngest open-wheel winner in history
SONOMA, Calif. (AP) -- The champagne remained corked. Marco
Andretti sipped sparkling cider Sunday to celebrate becoming the youngest winner of a major open-wheel race.
The 19-year-old gambled twice on fuel, then benefited from a
caution late in the race to hold off Dario Franchitti by 0.66
seconds and win the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma at Infineon Raceway.
"We knew this is one track we could have a shot at it, but we
knew how tough it was going to be. It was definitely close on
fuel," Andretti said.
His first gamble came on lap 51 of the 80-lap IndyCar Series
race, when he stayed out to take the lead while much of the field pitted during a caution. Andretti had stopped for fuel on lap 44, then stretched it the rest of the way to take the checkered flag in the next-to-last race of the season.
His father and team owner, Michael Andretti, told his son to
conserve fuel in the final 10 laps. That lasted until Franchitti got around Tony Kanaan and began closing in.
"I knew he was coming," Andretti said. "It was the toughest
thing I had to do -- go fast and try to save fuel."
Andretti won in front of his father, the co-owner of Andretti
Green Racing, and his famous grandfather, Mario, winner of the 1969 Indy 500.
"Being able to bounce things off the two best in the business
definitely helps," Marco Andretti said.
The previous youngest open-wheel winner was Scott Dixon at 20.
Andretti said it was a bigger thrill than finishing second this year in the Indianapolis 500, one spot ahead of his father.
"This was a win. It's definitely the best feeling all year for
sure," he said.
He also won here a year ago in an Indy Pro Series race.
Michael Andretti just shrugged when asked if his son could have finished the race without the caution on the 73rd lap.
"We'll never know for sure if he would have made it on fuel
without the yellow. He was driving hard and was the fastest car on the track," Michael Andretti said.
Vitor Meira finished third, 10.65 seconds behind the winner,
followed by Dixon and Helio Castroneves.
Castroneves' finish edged him into the IndyCar points lead by
one over his Marlboro Team Penske teammate, Sam Hornish. Hornish, who entered the race with a seven-point lead over Castroneves, finished ninth. Target Chip Ganassi teammates Dan Wheldon and Dixon are 19 and 21 points, respectively, behind Castroneves.
"It's really close. We came here to take as many points as we
could," Castroneves said. "Now, let's go to Chicago. The odds are it probably will help Sam a little because he's more familiar with the ovals. I can't wait. I wish the race could be next week."
The event at Infineon Raceway's 12-turn, 2.26-mile road course
eliminated Meira and Kanaan from championship contention, setting up a two-team shootout at the final race on Sept. 9.
Franchitti, who could not gain ground on Andretti after a final yellow with seven laps to go, praised the rookie.
"He was definitely a little bit faster than I was today. He
drove a great race," Franchitti said. "That last yellow probably cost us the win, because Marco was having fuel problems."
It was Franchitti's best finish of the season after a third in
Richmond.
Michael Andretti said he was relieved his son was being chased
at the end by a teammate.
"I was happy that Dario was out there behind him, because I
knew he wouldn't do anything too stupid."
It gave the team a 1-2 finish and its second victory of the
season. Kanaan got the other one.
Marco Andretti, who fought a nagging chest cold all weekend,
started the race second, next to pole sitter Dixon. Dixon ran away from the field at the outset until problems with a tire change on lap 51 dropped him out of contention.
Mario Andretti said his grandson drove well beyond his age.
"He was so smart and so patient. He managed his fuel and his
tires, and he was still fast," he said. "Marco drove like a true
champion today."
I'd like to see a break of the 100 day MA
okay, wasn't sure
thanks
Break of .00275 confirms reversal of long descending channel.

Good night all
Transcription of Small Cap Voice interview with David Keaveney:
(Please pardon any typos or mistakes.)
SCV: What’s the significance of retiring the OS SB preferred stock?
DK: What it does in a nutshell is it protects our shareholders from dilution. And the important fact is that the preferred shares had a 100:1 What’s called a super voting right to the common stock and the retirement of these preferred shares basically eliminated roughly the equivilant of 300 million shares to the market.
SCV: that’s the kind of dilution the shareholders want to avoid isn’t it? What else has the company been up to and been able to accomplish this year?
DK: Throughout 06 we’ve changed our business model to compliment Quadriga Motorsports. Under Quadriga we’re focusing on Spray'NShine which is our new car care product line and GS610 our high performance brake fluid.
SCV: Let’s talk about Spray'NShine?
DK: Spray'NShine is named for a 2 time Indy 500 winner by the name of Arie Luyendyk, we have a relationship with his son Junior who’s driving in the pro series as well. Spray'NShine is a waterless car wash and wax and its in an aerosol can there’s no water required and you simply spray it on and wipe it off. It doesn’t scratch the car it has foaming action that actually lifts grime up and away from the surface. It leaves a wax protectant and a pretty awesome shine.
SCV: When’s that going to be hitting the market if it hasn’t already done so?
DK: Actually it has it was in mid-June when we released it and so far it’s been a great sensation here in Arizona.
SCV: So you’ve launched it regionally and you plan on getting out Nationally?
DK: We are woking with a group by the name of RJE Associates, they are TV shopping channel experts, these guys introduced a pretty well known product called cold ease its a cough drop that was introduced through QVC, where about 50,000 units per month were sold. Now cold ease is in a national retail chain.
SCV: So you’re hoping for that same kind of success for Spray N Shine?
DK: Well I don’t want to put the cart in front of the horse but kind of put 2 and 2 together RJE does have the relationships with the TV shopping channels, they have great success with QVC and we’re actually knocking on doors right now. But we also brought in a group we refer to as the Steiner Brothers. Eric and Kevin Steiner and they have a tremendous history of placing retail products in name brand stores like Home Depot, Walmart, Target and we feel that both of these organizations, Steiner Bros. and RJE & Assoc. are a huge asset to Spray N Shine and are a very viable resource for market penetration. Right now our marketing efforts are going on a national wide campaign, we’re focused here in Arizona since this is where we’re based and coincidentally so are the Luyendyk’s, but we feel the efforts with RJE and the Steiner Bros. could be extremely, extremely big for us.
SCV: Lets talk about GS610
DK: GS610 is a high performace brake fluid we have a maximum boil point of 626 degrees versus 590 to 600 for most other fluids. And its taken some time but it is becoming recognized as the brake fluid of choice around the race track. Recently we’ve been approached by 2 of Nascars top teams. One being Joe Gibbs racing the second being Evernham Motorsports. Additionally we’re being approached by brake pad manufacturers and friction performance companies that have an interest in strategic alliances with GS610.
SCV: What’s next for MSEP?
DK: Actually what we’re doing is really transitioning ourselves from the single entity that we had which was scalecars, our dicast car subsidiary and we’re exploring some significant opportunities for scalecars that are very unique to MSEP and I can’t get into detail today but I promised to interview so I can explain that, looking to the future we’re continubg to take advantage of opportunities. GS610 and Spray N Shine are 2 huge potentials for us right now. Moving into the future there are several other projects that we’e working on that could also play out to be very big contributors to us down the road. Fundementally we are positioned, in my opinion, extremely well, we continue to increase our profit margins and we’re controlling our costs while were developing new and innovating ideas to support our effort in moving forward. I honestly believe that MSEP is an entirely different company than it was since the last time we talked, and in the next 9 - 10 months I think we’ll be extremely different as well.
Stuart Smith then schmoozes DK and wraps it up.
MSEP MotorSports Emporium Retires Its Outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
MotorSports Emporium Inc. (OTCBB:MSEP) today announced the Company has completed the purchase of all 2,671,817 shares of its issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock ("Pf B Shares") in three private transactions.
The Company acquired 1,421,897 Pf B Shares from Robert Brehm and his company, Intercontinental Assets Corp., in exchange for a convertible note in the principal amount of $250,000 due no later than August 2008. In two related transactions, David Keaveney, President and CEO of the Company, and Tracey Baron, a shareholder and former Director of the Company, each surrendered 625,000 Pf B Shares in exchange for an aggregate consideration of One Dollar ($1.00), a nominal sum.
The Pf B Shares retired were convertible into an aggregate of 316,693,906 shares of the Company's common stock. These combined transactions eliminated the equivalent of 316,693,906 common shares on a fully diluted basis. The retired Pf B Shares also carried super-voting rights of 100 votes per share, thereby eliminating approximately 267,181,700 votes on matters presented to the Company's shareholders for vote. Inasmuch as Mr. Brehm and his company, Intercontinental Assets Corp., held the majority of the Pf B Shares and effectively controlled the Company. As a result of the retirement of such shares, Mr. Brehm is no longer considered a "control person" under applicable SEC regulations.
David Keaveney, President and CEO of MSEP commented, "We elected to enter into agreements with Mr. Baron, Mr. Brehm and myself and to retire the Pf B Shares in order to protect our common shareholders from the dilutive effects of the Pf B Shares. We are managing a successful and momentous evolution of our business; the reduction of the Pf B shares is a significant step towards bringing our stock's price and capital structure more in line with our revised business model and improving the public's perception of MSEP. It is important that our shareholders understand that we are committed to pursuing aggressive strategies that will be beneficial to MSEP's growth."
Nice day for MSEP on news!
That is the key, time. Baby is sleeping right now, so I have been able to do some much needed maintenance on the eBay store and keep an eye on some investments today. It's been a good day!
Here's the link for anyone that wants to listen:
http://smallcapvoice.com/msep/msep-8-24-06.html
I have access - but t would take me awhile to transcribe it. If I get a chance later on, I'll do it.
So this "buyback" of shares is done with credit.
"On August 21, 2006, the Company acquired 1,421,897 Pf B Shares from Robert
Brehm and his company, Intercontinental Assets Corp., in exchange for a
convertible note in the principal amount of $250,000. The note bears interest at
10% per annum and provides for payments of $5,000 per month beginning October 21, 2006, with a balloon payment due on August 30, 2007."
It seems like a precurser or forshadowing of expected revenues.
Hopefully it helps increase sales. I'm sure Martini pressed that for a reason, remember when they increased from 1 to 2 pallets every 45 days? Maybe we'll see another increase soon.
Good enough for me!
Woo Hoo! - What do I win?!
News from Down Under
http://www.martiniracing.com.au/Documents/historic.pdf?v=1HaU7ZDvGWI
GS610 Brake Fluid ”Creating History” in Classic Race Cars
“Pedal feels much more precise, very little brake fade. Your advertising, “deeper, harder longer” is very much a fact. I feel very confident with my brakes especially in a car reputed not to brake well. It does now.” Regards Colin Warrington Colin is now a GS610 convert, through and through. The significant performance increase over the silicone race fluid he was previously running in his braking system was more than evident by the ability to out brake much lighter cars and maintain a solid pedal feel throughout the races held in Queensland on the weekend of July 29/30 2006 . This being Colin’s first opportunity to test the GS610 Brake Fluid product for himself. In the world of Historic racing, there is little room to incorporate high tech, up to the minute mechanicals, but the scope for performance increases through integration of a competition fluids management program using 2006 technology is there for the taking , and at little or no more cost than using outdated “historic” products.
Colin noted that his win in race 2 of the weekend even saw him off the track and make up 10 places, mostly under brakes. Colin said “ It was fantastic… by lap five I am usually pumping the hell out of the pedal, but it maintained its feel..”
Actually that's not why they are doing that. They started this sale last month and are still trying to liquidate stock through the "special sale" to make way for the 2007 line.
I was just realying an email I received about the sale in case anyone would like to take advantage of it.
If the Steiner Bros. can do for Quadriga what they did for the last 2 companies they worked for then sales will increase exponentially very soon. They have contacts with some HUGE organizations.

You went frther than I did I quit at 100, because I was too tired to go on. Which I am now also. :) Good night!
4th from the bottom - I'm moving up... Woo hoo.
I was asking seriously.
If GS610 sales have increased by 120% over the last 2 quarters you would think that this would be something positive for the Q to show. If Quadriga has already been incorporated and has it's own revenue, but still falls under the "umbrella" of MSEP then it should still be MSEP revenue.
Anyone know why the GS610 sales are not part of the 10Q? Up 120% and not included in the Q - I don't understand.
MotorSports Emporium Releases Second Quarter Results
MotorSports Emporium Inc. (OTCBB: MSEP) today announced 2006 second quarter results.
Total revenue for the first six months of 2006 and 2005 were $77,576 and $126,889, respectively (a decrease of $49,313), consisting primarily of diecast collectibles. Though sales from GS610 brake fluid and the new Luyendyk car care product line are not reflected in the second quarter, revenues were $48,592 compared to $21,602 in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of more than 120%. The company incurred Selling, General and Administrative expenses (SG&A) primarily to develop existing businesses, improve current infrastructure to address anticipated growth and identify and evaluate complementary business development opportunities and marketing.
David Keaveney, president and CEO of MotorSports Emporium Inc., commented, "Throughout the first six months of 2006 we were more successful managing our diecast inventory than in 2005. In fact, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) has decreased and gross profits increased during this period. The decrease in revenue this quarter was purposeful as we switched resources from our solitary line of diecast products to a more dynamic business model inclusive of our newest division -- Quadriga MotorSports (GS610 brake fluid and Arie Luyendyk car care)."
Scottsdale Diecast (DBA ScaleCars), a wholly owned subsidiary of MotorSports Emporium, is actively seeking merger and acquisition candidates to assist with: (a) exponential top line and bottom line growth; (b) scaleable leveraging of corporate resources; (c) recruitment of seasoned and experienced management to run the subsidiary and; (d) freeing up MSEP management for other growth and business development opportunities.
Keaveney continued, "We believe product diversification is showing signs of success with the greatest potential to be realized over the next few quarters. As we continue to expand our business model and focus resources away from diecast we can bring GS610 and the Luyendyk line to market much faster, generating positive operating results and significantly increased revenues and profit margins."
"By MSEP placing resources in higher growth areas, we can begin to bring a greater return on investment to our shareholders. The balance of this year will play an important role in the future of our company and right now our focus is the next two quarters," Keaveney concluded.
For complete financial results for the period ending 6/30/2006 and additional information and a discussion of risk factors, please see the MSEP current 10-Q & past 10-K reports at www.sec.gov.

Sounds like a fun run. I need to do one like that
