EIGH NEWS!!!8000 Inc Update: Singapore Tourist Board Endorses Cannonball 8000 SEA as Extreme Sports prepare to air Cannonball 8000 TV series
LONDON, Feb 06, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 2008 continues to accelerate for 8000 Inc (Pink Sheets:EIGH) wholly-owned subsidiary Cannonball 8000. The recently announced expansion event Cannonball 8000 South East Asia, to debut March 2009 in Singapore, has been officially endorsed by the Singapore Tourist Board.
The Singapore Tourist Board have been quick to recognise the benefits a prestige event such as the Cannonball 8000 can bring to the area. Travelling from Singapore to Phuket over three days, the rally will take in a four session at the Sepang International race circuit, one of only a few opportunities available to non professional drivers to sample the world famous track.
The Singapore Tourist Board endorsement comes within days of the launch of the Cannonball 8000 television series, to be screened on ESPN Star Sports to a 22 million strong audience in 41 countries. The first airing is scheduled for April.
8000 Inc CEO Conrad Wall comments:
"To have an event endorsed by a National Tourist Board is a massive achievement for the Company, and speaks volumes for the work that has already gone into the South East Asia event. In addition, we deliver the Cannonball 8000 lifestyle to a new audience of 22 million potential Cannonballers when the series starts in April. The TV series and new events continue to spread awareness of the Cannonball 8000 brand, which is great news."
