Fortune Market Media, the rapidly expanding diversified media and communications corporation and only publicly traded company to own a racing team, will meet with racing fans, media and potential investors Saturday, November 17th, at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
On hand will be Gene Sigal, driver for the Fortune Market Racing Team, as well as Arthur Kats, Fortune Market president and CEO. They will be in the Kentia Hall, booth K431 from noon to 6 p.m. to discuss the racing series, the team, the car, the schedule and becoming the first North American publicly traded race team.
“The LA Auto Show is the perfect opportunity to reach the fans who want to meet the driver, hear about everything in the car from the engine to the tires, and get in on the action,” said Kats.
The appearance comes on the heels of Wednesday’s announcement that the company went public under the stock symbol OTC.FTMMD, offering fans of racing the first-of-its-kind opportunity to own a share of a race car.
“Fortune Market is the company of the future and the Fortune Market Racing team is the sports team of the future,” said Kats. “People can’t wait to get on board and behind the wheel.”
The Fortune Market Racing Team is part of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series and the only team on the west coast. It will hit the track for the first time with its new livery and new drivers’ lineup Nov. 14 and 15 at the Daytona International Speedway during the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Pirelli open tests. The 2008 season will start with the grueling Rolex 24 hours of Daytona Jan. 26 and 27, 2008.
Fortune Market’s entertainment division, Future Rhythm, promises an announcement soon regarding a tie-in to the Daytona 24 race. Also under the company’s umbrella is Fortune Market Radio, creator of the program “Your Money’s Worth,” which airs on 97.1 KLSX Free FM in Los Angeles, and frequently carries news about the racing team.
