                  LAS VEGAS, NEVADA ? Amtech? Corporation, manufacturer of the patented                  RollGard? Suspension Stabilizer System, recently signed Parnelli Jones as                  spokesperson. Jones is the winner of the 1963 Indy 500, and has garnered                  several significant wins and championship victories in a variety of                  motorsports venues including the grueling Baja 1000 off road race and the                  SCCA Trans Am Championship in 1970. For his extensive contributions to                  racing, both as a driver and a team owner, he was inducted into the                  International Motorsports Hall of Fame.                                    Amtech?s RollGard is an innovative counter-spring system which has been                  designed to improve handling and reduce body lean which reduces the chance                  of a rollover on vehicles such as SUV?s and light pickups. Another benefit                  of the RollGard system is increased stability for trailer towing or side                  winds, and a smoother ride through abrupt dips. The simple-to-install                  RollGard has been painstakingly engineered to move the roll-center of the                  vehicle toward the outside edges where vehicles are less prone to extreme                  lean angles. This system prevents the sudden "rebound" of a vehicle?s                  suspension system during transitional maneuvers, a condition which has been                  blamed for SUV rollovers.                  
                  Parnelli Jones experienced such a rollover first-hand in an SUV earlier this                  year. Since that incident, Jones tested RollGard on his personal vehicle and                  believes everyone should install this system on their SUV?s, light trucks                  and vans. He further insists "it is the best way to correct a potential                  hazard before it occurs."                  
                  RollGard is available at all Checker Auto Parts, Schuck?s Auto Supply and                  Kragen Auto Parts stores located in nearly 1,500 locations around the U.S.                  To learn more about the RollGard by Amtech and to locate the nearest                  distributor, contact Amtech Corporation, 3120 Venture, Las Vegas, NV 89101,                  telephone 888-880-8949, or visit their web site at www.amtechsprings.com.
