Slime Saves the Day for Extreme Off-Roaders Slime Tire Sealant Helps King of the Hammers Racers Avoid Flat Tires, Finish Strong

GROVER BEACH, Calif.—March 10, 2009 — The recent King of the Hammers event featured 92 of the most extreme off-road, rock-climbing racing vehicles, competing in the toughest one-day off-raod race ever - only one-third of the racers finished. Of the finishers, at least 10 used Slime® Tire Sealant to help keep them flat-free through the finish.

Slime sponsored the King of the Hammers event and helped some of the riders “pre-Slime” their tires to help prevent flats in the race and in trailer tires for the drive home.

King of the Hammers took place at the Johnson Valley OHV Park in Johnson Valley, California, which features some of the world’s most aggressive terrain, including jagged desert rocks and mountainside cliff edges.

“To say that the King of the Hammers terrain is tough on tires is an understatement,” said Joe Bowman, Slime Marketing Director. “Fortunately, Slime offers off-road vehicles a preventative solution that holds up against even the toughest terrain.”

Slime has developed a state of the art line of environmentally friendly sealants that seals punctures in tubeless tires. Slime Tire Sealant seeks out and tightly packs itself into puncture areas, preventing and repairing flats with a flexible, long-lasting plug. Some teams also carried the Slime PowerSpair – which couples a powerful 12-Volt tire inflator, a reamer/plugger kit, and a 24-ounce bottle of Slime TireSealant to fix flats on the fly.

The Power Spair has endless applications, both in a competitive race environment and in a leisure environment, including jeeping, four-wheeling, rock crawling, camping, fishing and hunting. Slime
is also great for use in tires on trailers and toy-haulers to get out to and back from remote destinations.

Hundreds of professionals used Slime at the King of the Hammers event, including Clayton Kraatz, who drives the Warthog by Evolution for National 4WD Centres Canada.

“On the 2,100-mile drive back home, we had one tire that was losing air. Thanks to Slime, we used the tire inflator from the Power Spair to air up the tires and made it home safely,” Kraatz said.

In addition to the Slime PowerSpair, other Slime products offered include the Slime Safety Spair, Slime Smart Spair, and the Power Sport Smart Spair. Please visit www.slime.com for information on the full line of Slime flat tire prevention and repair products.
