), a multi-faceted motor sports company specializing in high-performance brake fluid, die cast model cars and car care products, today filed Schedule 14C and announced a reverse split of its outstanding shares.

In lieu of an Annual Meeting of Shareholders, action was taken as it relates to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2006 ("Record Date"), for the purpose of providing information with respect to certain corporate actions taken by written consents executed by holders of approximately 58% of the votes entitled to be cast by our shareholders in the election of directors and to approve and ratify other types of corporate action ("Majority Shareholders").

The reverse stock split will be effected simultaneously for all of the Common Stock and the ratio will be the same for all of the Common Stock. The effective date of the reverse stock split will be on or about October 31, 2006. The reverse stock split will not materially affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company. The principal effect of the reverse stock split will be to reduce the number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding from 456,423,621 to 2,028,550 shares. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Shareholders who hold odd lots may experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and may have greater difficulty in effecting sales.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of MSEP, commented, "The Board of Directors believes the current price of the Common Stock is too low and could act as a deterrent for some, if not most, of the companies it is currently trying to conduct business with. Also the Board of Directors believes the share price is too low to attract potential mergers or acquisition candidates and even new investors to buy the stock. To proportionately raise the per share price of the Common Stock by reducing the number of outstanding shares, the Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to implement a reverse stock split. In addition, the Board of Directors believes that the share price of the Common Stock is a factor in whether the Common Stock meets investment guidelines for certain institutional investors and investment funds. The Board of Directors also believes that the Company's shareholders will benefit from relatively lower trading costs Trading costs

 and increased interest from institutional investors and investment funds may ultimately improve the trading liquidity of the Common Stock."

Keaveney continued, "Being public is bittersweet bittersweet, name for two unrelated plants, belonging to different families, both fall-fruiting woody vines sometimes cultivated for their decorative scarlet berries.  and does require management and the board to make tough decisions that may not be favored by all shareholders. In the end it is management's duty to bring value to our shareholders and we believe the reverse split will bring new found interest in our stock. The reverse split better reflects the company's new business model of mergers and acquisitions and concentrated industry specific sales, which should allow us to further capitalize on business activities with a price range that would be more attractive and conducive moving forward. Because we are dealing with some of the biggest and most influential names within the motor sports and automotive industry our stock's price is a direct reflection on our product lines (GS610 brake fluid and Luyendyk Pro Series Waterless Wash n Wax). We believe a higher stock price and lower outstanding share count will increase the visibility of not only our stock but give MSEP and our products the credibility needed to push forward."
