CHATSWORTH, CA--(Marketwire - 11/24/09) - Provision Interactive Technologies, Inc. ("Provision"), a subsidiary of Provision Holding, Inc. (OTC.BB:PVHO - News), announced today that their U.S. strategic partner, Phantasmic Entertainment, Inc., along with car customizer Malibu Marketing, have integrated Provision's 3D holographic display into the bed of a customized Ford F150 pickup truck.

The "Freedom Truck" debuted at the Ford Motor Company pavilion at the 2009 SEMA show held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event kicked off a nationwide tour of the vehicle expected to reach hundreds of thousands of people across the country. The truck was designed by Mickey Harris, one of the world's finest airbrush artists, and featured a unique patriotic motif that paid tribute to all branches of American's military services.

A video of the customized vehicle can be viewed here: http://vimeo.com/7799524

Provision's 3D display plays a significant advertising and educational role in the Ford custom F150 vehicle. Working with Phantasmic, Provision believes that the introduction of their 3D Holovision display could be a catalyst in creating the awareness for Provision's 3D display technology. The platform could be effectively used in auto dealership and aftermarket auto parts stores around the world.

Remember to Travel Safe This Holiday Season - WBKO

Posted: 24 Nov 2009 12:52 PM PST

Food, family, friends, and road rage.

That's what many people may experience this holiday season.

AAA Auto Club estimates 33-million people will travel by road this Thanksgiving.

We spoke with several who want to remind the public to drive safe.

Lots of families agree the holiday season means they need to travel.

"We're all going to be together as a family," said Joe Hess of Breckinridge County who will be traveling with his family this Holiday Season. "We're going to Evansville, down to Bowling Green, and do some Christmas shopping. Then we have friends and family in other places."

Kentucky State Police know more people are traveling, so they're increasing their patrols.

"Get your plan," said Trooper Charles Swiney, Public Affairs Officer for KSP Post 3. "Get your route. Leave on time, maybe even a little bit earlier because Wednesday is probably one of the most heavily traveled days."

As always wear a seatbelt, obey the speed limit, and never drink and drive.

"Try not to be too aggressive in your driving because aggressive driving leads to road rage which leads to other things, and you definitely don't win in that situation," said Trooper Swiney.

And of course if you find yourself in need or stranded, the SAFE Patrol will also be out on the roads more this week.

"If you see someone else that needs help or see something in the road, if you call us, tell us which way you're going and approximately what mile marker, we'll be glad to come down and take care of it for you," said Jim Elliott, a SAFE Patrol Operator. "We will be working extended hours. That's part of helping each other."

Gas prices this year are up from last Thanksgiving, but that isn't stopping people from taking to the roadways.

"It's something you can't guarantee, so if you're going to travel, you're going to travel whether it's up there or not," said Hess.

Even though travel by car is up, travel by plane is down, and Hess knows why his family chooses the road over the air.

"When you do travel by car, or vehicle, or bus, or RV, or whatever, you're together," said Hess. "It's more of a family contained atmosphere."

Remember to always pay attention to other drivers while on the road and respect and observe all driving rules.

Trooper Swiney says if you feel road rage coming on, try to remain calm, even if that means pulling over until you're okay.

69th Running of The Lucas Oil Turkey Night Grand Prix this Thursday at ... - Who Won

69th Running of The Lucas Oil Turkey Night Grand Prix this Thursday at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale



by Kevin O'Brien

IRWINDALE, Calif. -- The 2009 North American Motorsports racing season reaches its conclusion on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 26 at TOYOTA Speedway at Irwindale Speedway when it hosts the 69th Running of the Lucas Oil Turkey Night Grand Prix presented by Agajanian Promotions.

One of America's most revered racing traditions has for many years served as the "last word" for the North American Motorsports calendar of major events and is a highlight for race fans, especially those who travel across the country as evidenced by the number of motor homes who have already established temporary residence in the Speedway's RV area.

Many of the traveling fans will prepare Thanksgiving dinner in the Speedway's parking lot during the afternoon leading up to an evening of 200 laps of racing that includes a race tripleheader of the fastest cars to compete on TOYOTA Speedway's half and third mile oval tracks. The 98-lap Midget feature race honors the memory of the late race organizer J.C. Agajanian, with whom the number 98 was synonymous with the famed #98 Agajanian entry in the Indianapolis 500 that featured wins by Troy Ruttman in 1952 and Parnelli Jones in 1963.

The field of over 100 racing entrants will include the nation's top drivers and teams competing in the USAC Mopar National and Western Midget Series, the USAC Western Sprint Car Series and the USAC California Pavement Ford Focus Series in their only appearance at the facility in 2009. IRL and Indy 500 veteran Davey Hamilton and NASCAR veteran and former "Turkey Night" champion Jason Leffler of Long Beach, Calif. are among the entrants as well as defending "Turkey Night" champion Bobby Santos III of Franklin, Mass.

Champions will be crowned in each of the series competing in the event with Brad Kuhn of Avon, Ind., Garrett Hansen of Manhattan Beach, Calif., Tanner Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. and Nik Romano of Atherton, Calif. leading their respective series.

In the Mopar Midget National Championship standings, Kuhn has a 40-point lead over Brad Sweet of Alpine, Calif. and a 53-point margin over Darren Hagen of Riverside, Calif. A total of 66 points are available and a 19th place finish for Kuhn would eliminate Hagen from the championship hunt and a 13th place finish would eliminate Sweet.

Hansen leads the Western Midget standings and is seeking his first ever USAC Championship.

Swanson leads the Western Sprint car Series standings and is going after his second USAC Series championship in a 40-lap race.

Nicknamed 'Quick Nik', Romano is a 19-year old rookie from Atherton, Calif. who has captured division crowns in other open-wheel development series and is seeking his first California paved Ford Focus Midget championship when he competes in the "Hoosier Tire 40" on TOYOTA Speedway's third mile oval.

Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. The King Taco fan appreciation autograph session with drivers and cars on the track is scheduled at 5:45 p.m. with racing scheduled to get underway at 7 p.m. Toyota will have the Joe Gibbs Racing Home Depot Camry show car available in its vehicle pavilion and will allow fans to sit behind the wheel of the car and get pictures taken.

From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., track officials and key vendors along with many of the Turkey Night racers in association with the Foothill Unity Center will be serving a special turkey dinner to needy families from the surrounding San Gabriel Valley communities. Later that day, Toyota and the Southern California Toyota dealers will be hosting a busload of Marines from the Camp Pendleton, Calif. Marine Corps base. The Marines will tour the pits before the races and will be served turkey dinner.

Tickets for the Turkey Night Grand Prix are available for purchase at the Speedway ticket office, on the Internet at www.toyotaspeedwayatirwindale.com or by calling (626) 358-1100.

Southern California Auto Club members receive a 10% discount off of the purchase of up to four (4) adult general admission tickets for the Turkey Night Grand Prix when they show their AAA membership card.

Additional information on the events and racing series can be obtained by logging onto www.usacracing.com and the Speedway's web site www.toyotaspeedwayatirwindale.com.

TOYOTA Speedway at Irwindale is located at 500 Speedway Drive off of Live Oak Ave. and I-605, between the 10 and 210 freeways in Irwindale, Calif.

BAE Systems - Navistar Defense Team Successfully Completes Critical ... - WebWire

Posted: 24 Nov 2009 07:30 AM PST

ARLINGTON, Virginia - Ref. 229/2009 – BAE Systems, through its US Combat Systems line of business, and teammate Navistar Defense, LLC have successfully completed the critical design review (CDR) for the U.S. multi-service Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program.

The CDR was completed as part of BAE Systems' 27-month JLTV Technology Development (TD) contract received in October 2008. The CDR marks the completion of the design process and the start of vehicle integration, assembly, test and checkout (IAT&C) activities to deliver test vehicles to the government by May 2010.

"This review demonstrates the BAE Systems-Navistar JLTV design is mature and balances program payload, protection and performance requirements," said Mark Signorelli, vice president and general manager of New Vehicles & Amphibious Systems for BAE Systems. "We are pleased that our design – built around the needs of the Warfighter – passed this significant milestone and we are looking forward to moving into the test and evaluation portion of JLTV's TD phase."

"Completing this review is a big event for the BAE Systems-Navistar team," said Kevin Thomas, director, new product, Navistar Defense. "As we head into the next portion of the TD phase, we will continue to enhance our offering to ensure our customer receives the best vehicle possible."

The BAE Systems-Navistar team has developed two JLTV prototypes for internal testing that have provided valuable information being used in the CDR. The company is incorporating this information to put forward the best possible offering that meets program requirements. The JLTV design also incorporates lessons learned from the U.S. Department of Defense's Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program and features the latest in lightweight, advanced armor and a V-shaped hull design to provide unmatched crew protection.

The team builds off the two companies' current leadership in armored and tactical vehicle development and support. Combined, the BAE Systems-Navistar team maximizes JLTV program value through proven capabilities, lean manufacturing and extensive worldwide logistics support. The team also includes Arvin Meritor, which is a leading designer and manufacturer of automotive advanced mobility systems and is the largest axle supplier to the U.S. military.

The BAE Systems-Navistar team draws on top talent from across the country. Sites participating in the development include: York, Pennsylvania; Ontario, San Diego and Santa Clara, California; Dearborn Heights, Sterling Heights and Troy, Michigan; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Johnson City, New York; Austin, Texas; Nashua, Hew Hampshire; Reston, Virginia; Melrose Park and Warrenville, Illinois; Fort Wayne, Indiana; West Point, Mississippi; Huntsville, Alabama; and Laurinberg and Aiken, South Carolina.
