To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter of reference for Drew Price. As a new Motorcycle Road Racing Team

owner, I look for many quality characteristics in a rider prior to offering them the opportunity to

ride for me. Drew has many of these characteristics that make him an asset to any racing

team. Drew was committed to performing tasks as assigned and made sure that he worked to

the best of his ability when performing these tasks. What impressed me most about Drew was

the growth that he made as a member of the team and in his personal life. Good job Drew and

continue with your hard work.

Thank you,

Chad Henderson / Owner / Socal Supersport Racing Team

Drew,

You can forward this email to potential sponsors and if they have any additional questions feel

free to give them my contact information. It was an amazing opportunity to work with you, and

we all wish you the greatest success in the future.

We at West Coast GP Cycles had the pleasure to work with Drew Price in the end of 2007 and

all of 2008. During that time Drew developed quickly as a rider and grew as a young man. He

adapted quickly to new bikes, raced with enthusiasm and heart, and overcame great challenges

in his personal life that could have easily ended the career of a less motivated rider.

From the first time I saw Drew ride, I knew he possessed great natural talent, and it was always

exciting to watch him develop that talent and bring it to bear as he developed his craft.

Any team that Drew rides for can consider themselves fortunate to work with this exciting young

talent.

I started working with Drew shortly after his 16th birthday as he made a quick jump from

SCminiGP bikes to the full size road racer. I was there for his first ride on the West Coast GP

Cycles prepped SV650, as a favor for Andy Palmer, the Team manager. The favor was to

basically take a look at Drew to determine if he was a suitable addition to the team and if he

displayed any talent worth developing or investing in. I figured if Andy Palmer and West Coast

GP Cycles was to invest half the time and money into Drew as they had into me, then they

weren't going to waste their time with anything less than a rider with The Real-Deal potential and

talent. Clearly Drew's talent proved himself immediately; however it wasn't his riding that sold me

on him as a worthy pupil... Drew seemed collected, in control of himself emotionally, which is

rare for a 16yr old. Drew's composure was always even keeled, even during sketchy moments

on the motorcycle. Furthermore, after spending some time with Drew over the next few days, it

was the Heart he displayed for his goals that really impressed me; that's something that I cannot

teach. And Heart is just one of those necessary components to success that others with so many

more resources still never get.

Drew,

Please feel free to send this to whoever you need, and let them know if they have any questions

to contact me directly.

From the first time I saw Drew ride a pocketbike I knew he possessed the talent to road race

motorcycles. I saw his passion and commitment to working hard in his first season, winning his

first championship and landing a factory ride with Blata. He continued to win championships with

our organization and his dedication to road racing has always encouraged me to continually

recommend him for any team seeking his talents. I have progressively checked up on Drew and

every time I watch him ride, I can see his continued development, maturity as young adult and

his passion for road racing motorcycles. He is bright, open to continued growth and driven to go

out and win every time he races.

I think any team who gives him a shot will get 110% from Drew and can consider themselves

lucky to have such an experienced, young and talented road racer.

Dear Drew,

I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well. I have received sporadic updates from

Josiah regarding your racing and hear you are doing wonderfully. I am very proud and

pleased about that. Please feel free to include this letter of recommendation into any of your

promotional material.

During the years of 2005 and 2006 Drew Price was a factory rider for Team Blata USA. In

fact, he was the first fully sponsored racer to be signed by Team Blata USA and laid the path

for many future young racers to follow. In 2005, I spent a race weekend with Drew and the

team at Buttonwillow Raceway and got to know Drew personally. He proved to be an

exemplary young racer and represented our company very well. We were more than happy

with Drew's results, attitude and work ethic, even at his young age at the time. I would highly

recommend Drew to anyone considering sponsoring or adding him to their team. I believe if

given the proper support and opportunities, he can go far within the racing community. We at

Blata USA, wish Drew all the best in his future endeavors.

I met Drew during his first year racing in 2004 when he was racing a questionable and outdated Blata which

he ultimately won the championship on and Rookie of the Year title with SCminiGP. Subsequent to that, I

became the team owner and manager for Blata USA and in that capacity recommended that Drew be signed

as a factory rider. He went on to win several championships for us in 2005 and 2006 while also moving up to

the Honda NSR 50 series where he also won a championship.

Throughout my dealings with Drew, he proved to be a hard-working, honest and likable young man. During

2005 and 2006 he attended various trade shows and promotional events promoting Blata USA where he

exhibited a thoroughly professional demeanor, especially for someone of his age. I am confident that our

sales figures increased during that year as a direct result of new kids coming into the program and seeing

what Drew was able to do on our bikes and the positive attitude displayed by him. In addition to his racing

achievements, we were very proud that he served three consecutive years as Junior Rider Representative.

Again, he represented Blata USA in a very favorable manner.

Throughout our two years of racing together Drew never missed one race or practice opportunity and was

known throughout the paddock as one of the hardest working kids around. He would typically race six

separate classes and the associated practices during a race day.

Since then, Drew and his dad have stopped by the SCminiGP races periodically to check in with everyone. I

am very proud to see that he has grown into the young man I knew he could be. In closing, I feel very

strongly that anyone contemplating the sponsorship of this fine young man or adding him to their team, will be

more than happy with their decision to do so.

If anyone has any desire to contact me for additional information pertaining to Drew, they are more than

welcome to do so.

Sincerely,

Paul Grasham Team Blata USA / Rooster Racing 619-246-6424

A little bit about Drew

Drew started riding when he was 3 years old on a Yamaha PW50. He was hooked right away.

His next bike was a Honda CRF 80

Page 17: Resume Of Drew Price

Drew is a typical teenager. He just graduated from Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, loves surfing, sushi and hanging around with his friends. He also enjoys training his prized Siberian Husky, Beau. He has traveled throughout North America, Mexico and Europe when he was invited to and attended the MotoGP Red Bull Rookies Cup in Valencia, Spain. He has a very discerning palate as his uncle owns one of the top 10 restaurants in Los Angeles.

Drew attends El Camino College where he is studying Fire Science Technology towards becoming a Firefighter. Currently, Drew works at Baskin-Robbins, and is developing his own business of instructing youth racers in Southern California.

Drew is an honest, hard-working and affable young man who is pursuing his dream of becoming a professional motorcycle racer and one day hopes to compete at the highest level, MotoGP.
