PSL KARTING READIES WITH FULL TENT FOR SKUSA SUPERNATIONALS XIII

Canadian CRG importer stacks the deck against the rest of the competition for Vegas

TROIS-RIVIERES, QC (November 16, 2009) – The end of the 2009 year is approaching and with
the weather turning from Fall to Winter conditions soon in the Quebec area, the PSL Karting team
will begin its winter-long journey south to the United States. The first stop of the winter schedule
for the Trois-Rivieres-based outfit will be the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals XIII outside the Rio
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Canadian importer for CRG products will have 22
drivers from around the world under the PSL Karting banner for the event, contesting five different
divisions.

“The drivers we have assembled for this year’s SuperNationals are amazing,” commented PSL
Karting’s team manager Stephan St. Charles. “All of our drivers will be aboard the latest CRG
chassis and components, ensuring they will be on the best equipment out there in karting. Our
association with the CRG factory has allowed us to bring over some of the best drivers into our
tent to run alongside our North American stars.”

Highlighting the PSL Karting roster will be the addition of reigning World Karting Champion
Arnaud Kozlinski. The native Frenchman will be part of the factory CRG Racing Team contingent
that will travel from Europe to Las Vegas to compete in the SuperPro category. Kozlinski was with
the PSL squad one year ago however a wreck during the heat races resulted in a broken collar
bone. Now with the world crown, Kozlinski is hoping to make it three for three at the SuperNats
for world champions scoring the victory at the SuperNats. Fritz Leesmann will run alongside
Kozlinski. The Californian ran 10th in last year’s event and is one of the top Americans competing
in this year’s edition. New York’s Matt Lee, Colorado’s Ben Schermerhorn and Florida’s Matthew
Mair complete the remaining USA drivers. Quebec pilots that will fly PSL colors are Olivier Sirois,
Etienne Lasalle and Dominic Legrand. Sirois earned his trip thanks to earning the championship
in the Vega Cup.

Aside from Kozlinski, two other drivers from the factory CRG Racing Team will be under the PSL
Tent. Eddy Tinini and Brandon Maisano will contest the new KF2 division in Vegas. Tinini has
enjoyed competing in the United States in the past and will join PSL for the first time. Maisano
was sixth in the KF2 World Cup and should be a contender for the win at the SuperNationals.

The largest division of the event is the TaG Senior category with 80 drivers total competing for the
victory. PSL Karting will have four drivers contesting the class - led by former world champion
Pier-Luc Ouellette. The former DD2 world champ and ’07 Rotax Senior SuperNationals winner
will return to the Vegas event in hopes of a second victory. Brother Hugo - the reigning Canadian
Nationals Rotax Senior champion - will run alongside thanks to his Vega Cup championship
earning a trip from CKEQ to compete in Vegas. American Miles Maroney will make his second
TaG Senior start after making the main event last year and Jose Peppe DeLa Garza will make his
first appearance in Vegas.

Just like the SuperPro category, the PSL squad has a solid chance at victory in the G1 category.
Florida’s Doug Cox is considered one of the contenders to earn the victory after a solid campaign
during the Florida Winter Tour earlier this year. Michel Legrand and Daniel Nadeau will also be
among the contenders after a solid season in Quebec regional racing with western Canadian
driver Daryl Redlin joining the squad in Vegas.

Four Junior drivers for PSL will contest the popular TaG Junior division. Montreal Cup champion
Jesse Lazare will join three Americans - Sabre Cook (Colorado), Jake Craig (California) and
Adrian Starrantino (California). All have an equal shot at running at the front of the field.
