AURORA, Ill. (October 28, 2003) - Clear Channel Entertainment's Motor Sports division announced today that there will be four privateer test days for the 2004 THQ World Supercross GP/AMA Supercross Series. Each privateer test day will be held on the Thursday prior to the race at 2:00 p.m. and is available to any AMA pro-licensed privateer competing in that event.

* January 29, Anaheim, Calif., Edison International Field (West)
* February 12, Houston, Reliant Stadium (East)

"Unlike the factory riders, the privateer sector does not have the luxury of practicing on an official supercross test track each week," said Todd Jendro, director of supercross, Clear Channel Entertainment - Motor Sports. "This program is designed to help the privateers get more practice time and hone their skills on an official Dirt Wurx-built supercross track."
