ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The registrant was formed as a C corporation and incorporated November 24, 1998. The registrant is currently not involved with any proceedings, bankruptcy or receiverships.
The registrant is in the operational stage and offers entertainment based oval driving schools and events. These classes are conducted at various racetracks throughout the country.
The registrant completed its first driving classes in Rockingham, NC July of 1999. Since July 4th, 1999, the registrant has run classes at over forty NASCAR tracks.
The registrant currently owns fifteen (15) race cars. These race cars are classified as stock cars and are equipped for oval or round tracks only. They are fully loaded with brand new race engines, six (6) point harnesses, neck and head restraints, communications, track specific gears and complete safety cages.
The registrant has negotiated terms with over forty (40) racetracks where, for a fee ranging from $0 to $10,000 a day, we can rent their tracks.
On October 29, 2008, the registrant introduced its new World War II Adventure. Participants receive a three day opportunity to relive the experience of a B-17 aviator heading out on a bombing mission over enemy territory for $1,941. Our debut adventure was February 27-March 1, 2009.
Products and Services. The registrant offers five(5) types of ride or drive programs for individuals and corporations. The "Qualifier" is a three(3) lap ride with a professional driver which lasts about five(5) minutes, depending on the length of the track. The "Season Opener" is a half day training class culminating in the student driving for ten(10) laps. The "Rookie Adventure" and "Happy Hour" are also half day driving classes with the students driving twenty(20) or thirty(30) laps respectively. The "Advanced Stock Car Adventure" is a full day sixty (60) lap class.
The operation is similar to that of a traveling show in that we transport the stock cars, the mechanics, the sales staff and the instructors from event to event.
The main purpose of each event is the thrill of actually driving the race car.
The registrant's objective is to utilize this first "hub" of fifteen (15) race cars on the east coast to their full potential. It is in the registrant's plans that once this first hub becomes utilized at least fifteen(15) days per month and is profitable, to then add another "hub" on the West Coast. This would entail the purchase of another ten(10) race cars and the support equipment necessary to maintain them.
The registrant has purchased fifteen (15) stock cars at an approximate price of $50,000 per car. Parts are nominal due to the lack of any sustained stress on the cars, approximately $10,000 per month per site. Staffing costs are approximately $20,000 per month at each active "hub". The registrant owns a Miller Semi Tractor Trailer to haul the cars from track to track. The transporting of staff to the event and their food and lodging costs average $4000 per day.
The registrant also offers a number of add-on sale items including CDs from its Adventure Cam located in the car (two cameras), clothing, souvenirs and photography.
The registrant is currently developing its logos and marketing materials and will commence the trademarking process for its name and various products and services.
Marketing. The registrant offers its products and services at various tracks throughout the country. The registrant employs a marketing director. This individual is primarily responsible with closing the prospects created through promotion. These services will be sold as corporate outings and directly to the public through various marketing and advertising mediums with an emphasis on radio.
Promotional and Licensing Agreements. In December 1998, the registrant entered into promotional and licensing agreements with Dale Jarrett, Ned Jarrett, Glenn Jarrett, Jason Jarrett and Brett Favre (individually, the "Licensor") whereby these individuals have granted the registrant the use of their names and likeliness in advertising, products and promotional materials, as well as an agreed upon number of appearances per year and an agreed upon number of radio and/or television commercials as set out in each agreement. Ned Jarrett is the father of Dale Jarrett and Glenn Jarrett. Dale Jarrett is the father of Jason Jarrett.
Pursuant to these agreements, the registrant has issued an aggregate of 5,500,000 Common Shares of the registrant. The term of each agreement is Ten (10) years unless sooner terminated by the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) a material breach by the registrant of the agreement which breach has not been satisfied within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from the Licensor;
(b) upon receipt of written notice from the Licensor if, as a result of (i) any act or omission of the registrant, (ii) any claim or charge against the registrant or (iii) any other occurrence or circumstances involving the registrant, the continued association of Licensor with the registrant would be detrimental to the value of the Licensed Material or to Licensor's image or reputation;
(c) the failure of the registrant to continually operate and manage the business according to the policies, practices and standards agreed to by the parties;
(d) the failure of the registrant to comply with any laws and regulations, the consequences of which are material adverse to the registrant.
The unearned services under the contracts aggregate $25,000 at December 31, 2008, and are classified as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Services charged to expense during the years ended December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, amounted to $25,000 and $25,000, respectively. The services were charged to expense ratably over the terms of the contracts.
During the term of the agreements, the Licensor agreed not to directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise), provide promotional appearances or services to any business which competes with the registrant's business of owning and managing driving schools.
On June 2, 2003, the registrant's board of directors approved the exchange of all or a portion of the indebtedness to its officers and directors and a consultant for restricted common stock at an exchange price of $.14 per share. During 2007, the registrant converted $17,580 of debt into 125,571 shares of common stock pursuant to the exchange. The fair value of the stock subject to the exchange price was $.41 as of December 31, 2007, and the aggregate amount of debt subject to exchange was $200,000 at December 31, 2007. The balance of the debt was repaid during 2008.
Competition. The driving schools industry is currently experiencing a limited degree of competition with regard to availability, price, service, quality and location. There is one well-established market leader (Richard Petty Driving Experience) that is nationally recognized and which possess substantially greater financial, marketing personnel and other resources than the registrant. There are also a small number of local or regional schools. Virtual reality driving experiences are also becoming more and more realistic and therefore a growing competitor. It is also likely that other competitors will emerge in the near future. There is no assurance that the registrant will compete successfully with other established driving schools. The registrant shall compete on the basis of availability, price, service, quality and location. Inability to compete successfully might result in increased costs, reduced yields and additional risks to the investors herein.
Employees. The registrant employs seven full time employees responsible for securing the Driving Adventure locations, procurement of equipment, racecars, and the development and implementation of the registrant's marketing plan. Each active location has up to 25 employees including but not limited to a mechanic, four to ten driving instructors, two administrators, a flagman and a site manager.
Additional employees and/or independent contractors will be obtained as required.
Seasonal Nature of Business Activities. The registrant's operations have shown to be seasonal partly because some track locations may only operate on certain days or certain times of the year. Primarily, this
is due to the weather. It is the registrant's plans to run more tracks in the south during the winter. The registrant expects a steady revenue stream throughout the year.
Government Regulation. The registrant does not currently need any government approval of our services. The registrant is not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations on our business or industry. The registrant is required to maintain a minimum of five million dollars($5,000,000) of liability insurance, worker's compensation and property and casualty insurance.

ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Trends and Uncertainties. Demand for the registrant's products are dependent on, among other things, general economic conditions which are cyclical in nature. Inasmuch as a major portion of the registrant's activities are the receipt of revenues from its driving school services and products, the registrant's business operations may be adversely affected by the registrant's competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.
There are no known trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the corporation's short term or long term liquidity. Sources of liquidity both internal and external will come from the sale of the corporation's products as well as the private sale of the registrant's stock. There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time. There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from the registrant's continuing operations. There are no known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more line items of the corporation's financial statements.
The registrant currently has classes planned through December 2009.
Capital and Source of Liquidity. The registrant currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The registrant has no plans for future capital expenditures such as additional race cars at this time.
The registrant believes that there will be sufficient capital from revenues to conduct operations for the next twelve(12) months.
Presently, the registrant's revenue comprises one hundred(100) percent of the total cash necessary to conduct operations. Future revenues from classes and events will determine the amount of additional financing necessary to continue operations.
The board of directors has no immediate offering plans in place. The board of directors shall determine the amount and type of financing as the registrant's financial situation dictates.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the registrant acquired plant and equipment of $286,644 resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $286,644.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the registrant acquired plant and equipment of $192,514 resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $192,514.
The registrant continues to look for ways to decrease its cash expenditures and still retain quality management and consultants. On October 22, 2004, the registrant's board of directors approved the issuance of options to certain officers and directors and a consultant for the purchase of 3,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $.15 per common share for a period of 5 years.
Stock Weighted-average Options Price per Share ------- --------------- Outstanding at Balance at December 31, 2006 6,949,654 $0.15 Exercised (125,571) $0.14 Expired (1,895,512) $0.14 --------- Balance at December 31, 2007 4,928,571 $0.15 Expired (1,428,571) $0.14 --------- Balance at December 31, 2008 3,500,000 $0.15 =========
At December 31, 2008, the Company has the following options outstanding all of which are exercisable:
Exercise price: $0.15; Outstanding: 3,500,000; Contractual life: 1.8 years
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the registrant reduced its outstanding debt by repaying shareholder advances of $210,922 and long- term debt of $28,647. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the registrant redeemed common shares for $85,500. As a result, the registrant had net cash used in financing activities of $325,069.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the registrant reduced its outstanding debt by repaying shareholder advances of $41,800, notes payable of $40,061 and long-term debt of $22,171. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the registrant issued common shares for cash of $886,360. As a result, cash provided by financing activities was $782,328.
On June 2, 2003, the registrant's board of directors approved the exchange of all or a portion of the indebtedness to its officers and directors and a consultant for restricted common stock at an exchange price of $.14 per share. During 2007, the registrant converted $17,580 of debt into 125,571 shares of common stock pursuant to the exchange. The fair value of the stock subject to
the exchange price was $.41 as of December 31, 2007, and the aggregate amount of debt subject to exchange was $200,000 at December 31, 2007. The balance of the debt was repaid during 2008.
On a long term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation of operation and receipt of revenues.
Results of Operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the registrant had sales of $2,667,526 with cost of sales of $1,208,521 for a gross profit of $1,459,005.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the registrant had general and administrative expenses of $1,758,028. The percentage of general and administrative expenses to revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to 66% from 59% for the year ended December, 2007 in spite of management's ongoing effort to maintain and/or reduce these types of expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the registrant had sales of $2,738,352 with cost of sales of $958,283 for a gross profit of $1,780,069.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the registrant had general and administrative expenses of $1,615,660 and non-cash stock compensation of $1,104,400. The percentage of general and administrative expenses to revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to 59% from 54% for the year ended December, 2006 in spite of management's ongoing effort to maintain and/or reduce these types of expenses.
The non-cash stock compensation consisted of 2,510,000 shares of common stock issued for services valued at $1,014,400. The value assigned to the shares issued was based upon the trading value of the registrant's common stock at the date the shares were authorized by the registrant's board of directors.
Plan of Operation. The registrant may experience problems; delays, expenses and difficulties sometimes encountered by an enterprise in the registrant's stage, many of which are beyond the registrant's control. These include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates and competition.
The registrant is not delinquent in any of its obligations even though the registrant has generated limited operating revenues. The registrant intends to market its products and services utilizing cash made available from the private sale of its securities and operations. The registrant's management is of the opinion that the proceeds of the sales of its securities and future revenues will be sufficient to pay its expenses for the next twelve months.
Our auditors have expressed reservations concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. The registrant has incurred significant losses from operations. This factor raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to increase revenues, increase ownership equity and attain profitable operations. In addition, the registrant's ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which the registrant operates.
The registrant is not currently pursuing financing for its operations. The registrant is seeking to expand its revenue base. Failure to expand its revenue base may result in the registrant depleting its available funds and not being able pay its obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
In general, the registrant records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the registrant:
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or the service is performed. Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the registrant's historical return experience, however sales returns have not been significant due to the nature of the services provided by the registrant.
Deferred revenue is recorded for amounts received in advance of the time at which services are performed and included in revenue at the completion of the related services. Deferred revenue aggregated $946,469 and $832,166 at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from 3 to 5 years for furniture and fixtures and from 5 to 10 years for equipment.
Recent Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to
facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS 159 will become effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. The adoption of these new Statements is not expected to have a material effect on the registrant's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R) "Business Combinations". SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the registrant's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the registrant's financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51". SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the registrant's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the registrant's financial statements.
In February 2008, FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" was issued. FSP No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, or all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Examples of items within the scope of FSP No. 157-2 are non- financial assets and non-financial liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods), and long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value for an impairment assessment under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The partial adoption of SFAS 157 on February 1, 2008, with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, has not had a material effect on the registrant's consolidated financial statements. The registrant is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 157 relating to its planned February 1, 2009, adoption of the remainder of the standard.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133", which became effective on November 15, 2008. This standard changed the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments
and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adaptation of this standard had no material impact on the registrant's financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FSP 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets." This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The intent of this FSP if to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations," and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The registrant does not expect the adoption of FAS 142-3 to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. APB 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)". FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, on a retroactive basis and will be adopted by the registrant in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The registrant does not expect the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," which becomes effective upon approval by the SEC. The standard sets forth the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. It is not expected to change any of our current accounting principles or practices and therefore, is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Directors Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and has working capital and stockholder deficiencies. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2008
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies.
The Company was incorporated in Florida on November 24, 1998. The Company offers the "NASCAR" driving experience to the public. The Company owns several 'NASCAR" type automobiles and has secured several racetrack locations at which it offers these services at various dates during the year.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Revenue Recognition
In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or the service is performed. Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company's historical return experience, however sales returns have not been significant due to the nature of the services provided by the Company.
Deferred revenue is recorded for amounts received in advance of the time at which services are performed and included in revenue at the completion of the related services. Deferred revenue aggregated $946,469 and $832,166 at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances. There were no allowances at December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in first-out basis and consists primarily of finished goods and includes primarily promotional items that bear the Company's logo.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from 3 to 5 years for furniture and fixtures and from 5 to 10 years for equipment.
Intangible Assets and Long Lived Assets
The Company makes reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. No such impairment losses have been identified by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place. Advertising costs charged to operations were $564,609 and $457,401 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's short-term financial instruments consist of cash, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximates fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk consists principally of cash. During the year the Company maintained cash deposits at financial institutions in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt approximated its fair value based on the current market conditions for similar debt instruments.
Segment Information
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Certain information is disclosed, per SFAS No. 131, based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company currently operates in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Income Taxes
The Company follows SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Beginning January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment". This Statement requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements. The Statement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share- based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair
value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive or have no effect on earnings per share.
Recent Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS 159 will become effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. The adoption of these new Statements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R) "Business Combinations". SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51". SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In February 2008, FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" was issued. FSP No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, or all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Examples of items within the scope of FSP No. 157-2 are non-financial assets and non- financial liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods), and long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value for an impairment assessment under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The partial adoption of SFAS 157 on February 1, 2008, with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, has not had a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 157 relating to its planned February 1, 2009, adoption of the remainder of the standard.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133", which became effective on November 15, 2008. This standard changed the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging
items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adaptation of this standard had no material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FSP 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets." This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The intent of this FSP if to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations," and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 142-3 to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. APB 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)". FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, on a retroactive basis and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," which becomes effective upon approval by the SEC. The standard sets forth the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. It is not expected to change any of our current accounting principles or practices and therefore, is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Note 2. Basis of Reporting
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has experienced a significant loss from operations as a result of its investment necessary to achieve its operating plan, which is long-range in nature. For the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, the Company incurred net losses of $306,041 and $941,445. In addition, the Company has negative working capital of $467,736 at December 31, 2008.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, increase ownership equity and continue profitable operations. In addition, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which the Company operates.
The Company is pursuing financing for its operations and seeking additional private investments. In addition, the Company is seeking to expand its revenue base. Failure to secure such financing or to raise additional equity capital and to expand its revenue base may result in the Company depleting its available funds and not being able pay its obligations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3. Property, Plant and Equipment.
Property, plant and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2008 and 2007:
2008 2007 ---- ---- Office furniture and equipment $ 54,593 $ 60,026 Software 26,398 - Shop and track equipment 202,973 198,189 Race vehicles 569,359 606,284 Vehicles - other 379,327 _ 321,314 ---------- --------- 1,232,650 1,185,813 Less accumulated depreciation (628,355) (792,282) ---------- ---------- $ 604,295 $ 393,531 ========== ==========
Depreciation charged to operations was $121,490 and $76,847 for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007.
Note 4. Stockholders' Equity
During the periods covered by these financial statements the Company issued shares of common stock and subordinated debentures without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Although the Company believes that the sales did not involve a public offering of its securities and that the Company did comply with the
"safe harbor" exemptions from registration, if such exemptions were found not to apply, this could have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
During October 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize 5,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock and 200,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock. The par value of the Company's outstanding common stock has been adjusted to reflect the change in par value.
During December 1998, the Company negotiated personal service contracts with certain members of the Jarrett family and Brett Favre. The Jarretts and Favre have had a prior business relationship related to automobile racing. The contracts require the individuals to provide personal appearances and to participate in the advertising and promotional efforts of the Company for a period of ten years. The Company issued an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares in connection with the personal service contracts.
Services charged to expense during the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, amounted to $25,000 and $25,000.
On June 2, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the exchange of all or a portion of the indebtedness to its officers and directors and a consultant for restricted common stock at an exchange price of $.14 per share. During 2007 the Company converted $17,580 of debt into 125,571 shares of common stock pursuant to the exchange. The fair value of the stock subject to the exchange price was $.41 as of December 31, 2007, and the aggregate amount of debt subject to exchange was $200,000 at December 31, 2007. The balance of the debt was repaid during 2008.
The following table summarizes the stock option activity:
Stock Weighted-average Options Price per Share ------- --------------- Outstanding at Balance at December 31, 2006 6,949,654 $0.15 Exercised (125,571) $0.14 Expired (1,895,512) $0.14 --------- Balance at December 31, 2007 4,928,571 $0.15 Expired (1,428,571) $0.14 --------- Balance at December 31, 2008 3,500,000 $0.15 =========
At December 31, 2008, the Company has the following options outstanding all of which are exercisable:
Exercise price: $0.15; Outstanding: 3,500,000; Contractual life: 1.8 years
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued 2,510,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $1,014,400. The value assigned to the shares issued was based upon the trading value of the Company's common stock at the date the shares were authorized by the Company's Board of Directors.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued 2,122,000 shares of common stock for cash aggregating $806,360 pursuant to a private placement. In addition to receiving common shares the investors received 1,061,000 warrants to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $.55 for a period of two years. The Company also issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock for cash of $80,000 pursuant to a consulting agreement at a discount from market of $90,000 which has been charged to operations during the year.
During 2008, the Company repurchased 855,000 shares of common stock for cash aggregating $85,500. These shares were retired in 2009.
Note 5. Income Taxes.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classifications of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non- current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company had no significant deferred tax items arise during any of the periods presented.
The Company has not provided for income taxes during any period presented as a result of operating losses. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward at December 31, 2008 of approximately $4,300,000 that will expire through 2028. The principal difference between the loss for financial reporting purposes and the loss for tax purposes results from stock based compensation. The Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset that would arise from the loss carryforward since the Company believes that it is more likely than not that future income from operations will not be available to utilize the deferred tax asset. The approximate deferred tax asset and the related reserve are as follows:
Deferred tax asset Tax benefit of net operating loss $ 1,400,000 Less valuation allowance (1,400,000) ----------- Net deferred tax asset $ - ===========
The increase in the reserve was approximately $100,000 during 2008.
Note 6. Notes Payable and Long-term Debt
The Company had two vehicle purchase contracts outstanding at December 31, 2007, totaling $61,589. The loans are due in monthly installments of $1,557 including interest at 0.0% to 5% through July 2012. Two support vehicles collateralize the loans.
During 2008 the Company acquired two additional vehicles pursuant to purchase contracts with notes aggregating $67,519. At December 31, 2008, the Company has four vehicle purchase contracts outstanding totaling $100,461. The loans are due in monthly installments of $3,113 including interest at 0.0% to 7.5% through March 2013. Four support vehicles collateralize the loans.

Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), or the persons performing similar functions, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, and concluded that it is effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the registrant's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the registrant's registered public accounting firm
pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or those persons performing similar functions, our management has evaluated changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO, or those persons performing similar functions, did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Important Considerations:
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder of the registrant must file a Form 4 reporting the acquisition or disposition of registrant's equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the end of the second business day after the day the transaction occurred unless certain exceptions apply. Transactions not reported on Form 4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of the registrant's fiscal year. Such persons must also file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished to it, the officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2007, except that Kenneth J. Scott and Timothy B. Shannon failed to file the requisite Form 4 reports during 2007. In August 2008, Timothy B. Shannon filed a Form 5 report and, in September 2008, Kenneth J. Scott filed a Form 5 report.
Code of Ethics Policy
During July 2008 the registrant adopted adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
Corporate Governance.
There have been no changes in any state law or other procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. In addition to having no nominating committee for this purpose, we currently have no specific audit committee and no audit committee financial expert. Based on the fact that our current business affairs are simple, any such committees are excessive and beyond the scope of our business and needs.
Indemnification.
The registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Florida, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the registrant, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request of the registrant. The board of directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the registrant to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an employee of the registrant.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE REGISTRANT FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

ITEM 14.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.
Audit Fees. We incurred aggregate fees and expenses of approximately $27,000 and $24,000 respectively, from Stark Winter Schenkein and Co., LLP for the 2008 and 2007 fiscal years. Such fees included work completed for our annual audits and for the review of our financial statements included in our Form 10-QSB.
Tax Fees. We did not incur any aggregate tax fees and expenses from Stark Winter Schenkein and Co., LLP for the 2008 and 2007 fiscal years for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All Other Fees. We did not incur any other fees from Stark Winter Schenkein and Co., LLP during fiscal 2008 and 2007.
The board of directors, acting as the Audit Committee considered whether, and determined that, the auditor's provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence. All of the services described above for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 were approved by the board of directors pursuant to its policies and procedures. We intend to continue using Stark Winter Schenkein and Co., LLP solely for audit and audit-related services, tax consultation and tax compliance services, and, as needed, for due diligence in acquisitions.
