                              FIRST AMENDMENT TO
              PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS


To all shareholders of record of Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, Inc.:

PLEASE BE ADVISED that the Board of Directors of the Company has been advised 
that it would be in the Company's best interests to change its fiscal year end 
to November 30, rather than December 31, as previously stated in the Company's 
Proxy Statement. The Board has adopted a resolution in conformity therewith.

Therefore, the Company hereby amends and revises Proposal Three, at page 7 of 
the Proxy Statement previously mailed to you to read as follows:

                                PROPOSAL THREE
                    CHANGE OF FISCAL YEAR END TO NOVEMBER 30

    
THIS PROPOSAL IS TO CHANGE THE COMPANY'S FISCAL YEAR END FROM JUNE 30 TO 
NOVEMBER 30       
    
As the Company has begun its transition from a single event/single venue 
business to a year-round, three-venue company, it becomes practical to adopt a 
fiscal year which is based on the schedule of events held by the company. 
Because the racing season is from March through October, changing the fiscal 
year end from June 30 to November 30 will provide a better point of reference 
for comparative analysis of actual and projected events within a racing season. 
This change will require the Company to file a five-month transition report on 
Form 10-KSB for the period of July 1, 1996 through November 30, 1996.       

APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS

This matter is not required to be submitted for shareholder approval, but the 
Board of Directors has elected to seek the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares represented and voting at the Annual Meeting with respect to this change.
Unless instructed otherwise, the proxy holder will vote proxies held by her FOR 
this resolution. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

It is the intention of the Proxyholder to vote all proxies received by her FOR 
the approval of Proposal Three, as amended.

                                    Page 1

 
You are advised that any proxy given by you may be revoked at any time before 
its use by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of 
revocation, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the 
Annual Meeting and voting in person.

In all other respects the Proxy Statement for the Company's Annual Meeting of 
Shareholders ("Annual Meeting") to be held Monday, December 9, 1996 at 4:00 p.m.
local time, remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

The Board of Directors knows of no other business to be transacted at the Annual
Meeting of shareholders, but if any other matters do come before the meeting, it
is the intention of the person named in the accompanying proxy to vote or act 
with respect to them in accordance with her best judgment.

                                         By Order of the Board of Directors

                                         /s/ GEMMA A. BANNON
                                         -----------------------------------
