                 PACER TECHNOLOGY SHAREHOLDER'S COMMITTEE


Dear Fellow Shareholder:

     You have received the additional soliciting  materials  by the current
Pacer  Board  of Directors.  We hope that you share the  disappointment  of
the Pacer Technology  Shareholder's Committee (the "Committee") in the tone
and content of the statements  made  by  the  Board.  Rather than engage in
personal attacks, the Committee, in its proxy materials, focused on what is
most  important to the SHAREHOLDERS of Pacer: the  continued  disappointing
performance  of  Pacer's  stock  and  the  failure  of the Board to provide
management  with  a meaningful and appropriate direction  and  strategy  to
enhance the value of Pacer and its stock.

     However, rather  than  refute  the Committee's contentions with facts,
the  Board  chose  instead  to  counter  with   statements   about  current
management's performance and with AD HOMINEM attacks against the members of
the  Committee  which are utterly devoid of factual support.  This  is  the
very reason the Committee  is seeking to oust the current Board and replace
it with responsible and mature  businessmen.   Not  only is this a pathetic
attempt  by  the  Board  to  preserve the status quo, but  the  information
presented in the proxy materials is factually incorrect.

               PACER SHAREHOLDERS DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH!

     Pacer shareholders are entitled  to more than simply the Board's self-
serving,  unsubstantiated  allegations;  they  are  entitled  to  know  the
Committee's contentions and, more importantly, the facts:

THE COMMITTEE DOES NOT PLAN TO REPLACE MANAGEMENT.

THE BOARD SAYS: The Board alleges that Mr.  Tirman  has threatened "to fire
Pacer's  new  management  team"  and  replace  them  with fellow  Committee
members, Messrs. Munn, Bloom, and Cavazos.

THE TRUTH:     On  numerous occasions, Mr. Tirman has stated  to  both  the
Board and current management  that he has no intention of replacing Pacer's
new  management  team.  Furthermore,   nowhere  in  the  Committee's  proxy
materials are such statements made.  Rather,   the  Committee has stated in
its  proxy  materials   that  it "believes that the directors  and  CERTAIN
members of management of the Company  need  to  be  replaced"  and that the
Committee intends to "[r]etain most current members of  senior management."
The Committee's proxy materials also make it clear that Messrs. Munn, Bloom
and Cavazos will have no managerial role with Pacer, other than the service
by  Messrs. Munn and Bloom on the Board, if elected as Committee  Nominees.
Of course,  some changes among current management may be necessary in order
to maximize shareholder  value, but to allege that the Committee intends to
"clean house" is patently untrue.

MESSRS. TIRMAN AND MERRIMAN  DID  NOT  MISLEAD  THE  BOARD  REGARDING THEIR
PROPOSED PROXY CONTEST.

THE BOARD SAYS: The Board further alleges that Messrs. Tirman  and Merriman
"intentionally misle[d] us into believing that they would be supporting the
re-election of all of the incumbent directors."  The Board also claims that
Mr.  Tirman  "lied  to  us  to  hide the fact that he was planing [sic]  to
initiate a proxy contest in connection with the Annual Meeting."

THE TRUTH:      Once again, the Board  provides  no factual support for its
allegations. . . . . simply because there is not any.   MR.  TIRMAN AND MR.
MERRIMAN  DID NOT LIE TO THE BOARD REGARDING ANY MATTER.  Furthermore,  Mr.
Tirman and  Mr.  Merriman  were  not  provided a copy of Pacer's (i.e., the
Board's) proxy statement before it was  filed  with  the  SEC and mailed to
shareholders,  nor  were they asked or did they consent to being  named  as
Board nominees therein.  Rather than setting forth a substantive contention
worthy of consideration  by  Pacer shareholders, it is apparent that if the
Board feels that an unsubstantiated  allegation  that  a  Pacer shareholder
(Mr.  Tirman)  is  lying  will  help  deflect attention from what  is  most
important  in the minds of Pacer shareholders  (the  performance  of  Pacer
stock), it will not hesitate to do so.

MANAGEMENT'S NOMINEES OWN LESS THAN 1.5% OF THE OUTSTANDING PACER STOCK AND
CHAIRMAN HOCKIN OWNS NO PACER STOCK!

THE BOARD SAYS: The Board also alleges that two of the Committee's nominees
(Messrs. Barnes  and  Ballard)  who  own  no Pacer stock have "no financial
stake  in  our  Company  and  therefore have nothing  in  common  with  the
shareholders."

THE TRUTH:     The  fact  that Mr.  Barnes  and  Mr.  Ballard  are  genuine
"outside" directors with no  preexisting  ties  to  Pacer  was  one  of the
reasons the Committee asked them to join the Committee's slate of nominees.
Stock ownership is not a requirement for serving as a director under either
Pacer's  bylaws or California law.  Furthermore, it is commonplace for  new
"outside"  directors  not to own any stock in their corporation at the time
of their appointment.

However, if a Board nominee's lack of a "financial stake" is material, then
why does the Board fail to disclose in its soliciting materials that of its
four nominees, two (Messrs.  Hockin  and  Reynolds)  own  NO stock in Pacer
(other  than  in  the  form  of  stock options) and the other two  (Messrs.
Hathaway and Nightingale) own, respectively,  a  mere  100,000  and 113,278
shares  of  Pacer  stock  (again, other than in the form of stock options)?
Furthermore, why does the Board also fail to disclose that Mr. Hathaway did
not own any Pacer stock at  the time of his appointment and did not acquire
any stock in Pacer until 1995,  some ten years after his appointment to the
Board, and then only through the  exercise of special stock options granted
to him by the Board?

ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY'S PROXY STATEMENT, YOUR CURRENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS
(OTHER THAN MESSRS. TIRMAN AND MERRIMAN)  HOLD  IN  THE AGGREGATE 2,766,033
SHARES  OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK, OF WHICH AN AGGREGATE  OF  1,900,000
SHARES ARE  HELD IN THE FORM OF STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED TO THE DIRECTORS, AND
AN AGGREGATE  OF  652,755 SHARES ARE HELD IN AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT TRUST, FOR
WHICH CERTAIN DIRECTORS  SERVE AS TRUSTEES, LEAVING AN AGGREGATE OF 213,278
SHARES  (OR  APPROXIMATELY 1.3%  OF  THE  OUTSTANDING  COMMON  STOCK)  HELD
DIRECTLY BY THE DIRECTORS.

BY CONTRAST, MESSRS.  TIRMAN  AND  MERRIMAN  OWN  AN AGGREGATE OF 1,410,000
SHARES  (OR  APPROXIMATELY 8.4% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON  STOCK),  ALL  OF
WHICH WAS PURCHASED ON THE OPEN MARKET BY THESE TWO GENTLEMEN OVER THE LAST
TWO YEARS AND MESSRS. MUNN AND BLOOM OWN AN AGGREGATE OF 771,586 SHARES (OR
APPROXIMATELY 4.6% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK).

THE CURRENT BOARD'S PERFORMANCE RECORD?  YOU DECIDE!

THE  BOARD SAYS:  The  Board  also  contends  that  the  Committee's  proxy
materials  "distort  and  misrepresent  [the  current  Board's]  record  as
directors."

THE TRUTH:       The  fact  that Pacer's stock price is down 11% since mid-
1994, and has been "flat" for  the  entire decade, is indisputable, and the
Board offers no evidence to suggest otherwise.

THE BOARD HAS GRANTED THEMSELVES AN AGGREGATE  OF  1,900,000  OPTIONS SINCE
1995!

THE BOARD SAYS: The Board labels as "misleading" the Committee's assertions
with regard to the grant of warrants and options to Pacer directors.

THE TRUTH:     While the Board's statements about the warrants  granted  to
three  Pacer  directors  in the mid-1980s in return for their guarantees of
"bridge loans" are correct,  once  again, the Board is telling only PART of
the story.  What the Board fails to  disclose  to Pacer shareholders, among
other things, are the options and loans granted  to Chairman Hockin, namely
(1) the grant in 1995 to Chairman Hockin of 1,300,000  options; and (2) the
1994 loan of $367,625 to Chairman Hockin at a favorable interest rate so as
to  enable him to exercise options to purchase Pacer shares  for  $.63  per
share  while  Pacer  stock  was  trading at $1.31 per share.  In total, the
Board has granted itself, since 1995, a staggering 1,900,000 options, which
equates to an astounding "director  option  overhang"  of  13%  of  Pacer's
outstanding stock.

Once  again,  the  Pacer  shareholders are done a great disservice when the
Board charged with faithfully representing them chooses to "spin" the truth
to further its own interests and withhold critical information, rather than
simply disclosing all material  facts  and  allowing  the  shareholders  to
decide how their company should be run and who should run it.

MR. TIRMAN'S NUMEROUS EFFORTS TO IMPROVE SHAREHOLDER VALUE.

THE BOARD SAYS: Mr. Tirman's performance record as a Pacer director is also
attacked  by the Board. The Board alleges that Mr. Tirman has not "proposed
a single concrete  initiative  that might lead to improved profitability or
increases in our share price."

THE TRUTH:     What the Board conveniently  fails  to  disclose is that Mr.
Tirman  has,  in  fact,  proposed  and  been  involved in a number  of  key
developments at Pacer, including, but not limited  to 1) the recruitment of
six  different  potential buyers for various Pacer product  lines;  2)  the
obtaining of a $10,000,000 firm bid for a division that Pacer had purchased
for $4,000,000 a mere nine months prior; and 3) the "re-recruitment" of one
of Pacer's largest customers which had ceased doing business with Pacer due
to poor product quality and poor delivery record and which has generated in
excess of $3 million in sales for Pacer.

THE BOARD FAILED TO PURSUE A $1.95 OFFER FOR PACER.

THE BOARD SAYS: The  Board labels as "false and misleading" the Committee's
contention that the Board  "summarily rejected" a $1.95 per share offer for
all of Pacer's stock in 1998  when it was trading at approximately $1.25 to
$1.35 per share.  The Board contends  that  it  had  previously  reached an
agreement with a prospective buyer which would have paid Pacer shareholders
$2.15 per share; however, before a definitive agreement could be finalized,
the Board contends that the buyer "unilaterally reneged" on the offer.

THE TRUTH: The Committee does not dispute that an offer of $2.15 per  share
was  in fact made; however, the Committee objects to the Board's contention
that the  deal  fell  through  because  the  buyer  "unilaterally reneged."
Rather, it was in fact the Board, through its indecisiveness  and  lack  of
ability  to  take  the proper steps to close the deal, that caused the deal
not to be consummated.   Furthermore, it was these factors, and the Board's
negotiating tactics, which essentially drove the buyer from the negotiating
table.  Mr. Tirman, at the  request of the Board, brought the buyer back to
the negotiating table and, subsequently,  an  offer  of $1.95 per share was
made but later rejected by the Board, according to the  Board,  because the
price  was  "no  higher  than the liquidation value of [Pacer] shares"  and
because  "the  buyer  was structuring  the  transaction  so  as  to  permit
[Messrs.]  Munn,  Bloom  and   Cavazos. . . . . to  retain  shares  in  the
Company."

The  Board dispenses another "half-truth" to Pacer shareholders by implying
that the $1.95 per share offer was  somehow NOT FAIR to Pacer shareholders,
yet failing to provide any support for  its  contention other than to state
that  the offer was no higher than the "comment"  made  by  an  independent
valuation  firm that the $1.95 per share offer was "probably less" than the
"liquidation value" of Pacer.  The Board does not explain how a substantial
premium to its  shareholders,  which had endured years of flat or declining
share performance, would have been  "unfair."   In  fact, had the Board not
dragged  its  feet  and  simply accepted this more-than-fair  offer,  Pacer
shareholders would have received  a  premium  of  between  48%  and 56% per
share.   For  an  explanation  of  why  the  Board  may have been less than
enthusiastic about this offer, see "The Swander Pace  Deal" below.   Rather
than  address and explain this inexcusable failure to act,  the  Board  has
chosen instead to hide behind some "comments" about the "liquidation value"
of Pacer,  when  in  fact,  the  Board's  solicitation materials themselves
indicate that no liquidation analysis was ever conducted.

And like many of the other statements made  by  the Board in its soliciting
materials, the allegation that the proposed deal  was  structured to retain
Messrs. Munn, Bloom, and Cavazos as Pacer shareholders is not substantiated
by  the  Board.   The proposed buyer was a financial investor  and,  as  is
customary in sales to financial buyers, the Company's management employees,
including Messrs. Munn,  Bloom  and  Cavazos,  were  given  the  option  of
retaining  their financial interests in and positions with the Company upon
consummation of the transaction.  The Committee is unaware of any disabling
conflict of interest that existed solely because of this fact.

THE COMMITTEE DID NOT ENGAGE IN "GREENMAIL" OF PACER.

THE BOARD SAYS:  The  Board  accuses  Mr. Tirman of being a greenmailer and
tells the Pacer shareholders that he was  "prepared  to sell you out if the
price [was] right for him personally."

THE TRUTH:     What  the  Board  fails  to  disclose  to  you,   the  Pacer
Shareholders,  is  that  it  was  Chairman  of  the  Board  John Hockin who
approached Mr. Tirman and suggested the use of corporate assets to make Mr.
Tirman  go away and to preserve the status quo at Pacer, which  Mr.  Tirman
flatly rejected.

The  Board  also  fails  to  disclose  that,  earlier this year, there were
members  of  the  Board, namely Chairman Hockin and  Messrs.  Hathaway  and
Reynolds, who sought to sell their shares to an outside party for $2.25 per
share, transfer control  of  Pacer  and  not  share  the  "sale  of control
premium"  with other Pacer shareholders.  Furthermore, Chairman Hockin,  in
an attempt  to  share his good fortune with family and friends, also sought
to have the shares  held by his father and three friends sold for $1.70 per
share.  See "The Star Nails Deal" below.


       THE BOARD IS TRYING TO SELL YOU, THE PACER SHAREHOLDER, OUT!

     By law, the Board  owes  the  duties  of ABSOLUTE good faith, loyalty,
trust, and FULL disclosure to its shareholders.   Furthermore,  the members
of the Board should not betray the trust of the shareholders they serve and
abuse  their  fiduciary  position  for  personal  financial  gain by taking
advantage  of  an opportunity not made available to ALL Pacer shareholders.
Nevertheless, the  Board,  led  by  Chairman Hockin and, acting through Mr.
Reynolds, attempted to do just that on TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

THE SWANDER PACE DEAL.

     In the Summer 1998, Swander Pace  Capital  expressed  an  interest  in
consummating  an  all-cash  purchase of the shares of Pacer.  The Board was
agreeable to sell to Swander  Pace provided that, as stated by Mr. Reynolds
himself in a letter dated August  26, 1998,  a copy of which is attached to
this letter as Appendix A,  (i)  a select group of shareholders, namely the
members of the Board, would receive an advantageous price situation through
the reduction of the option exercise  price  to  $.01  for their options to
purchase Pacer stock; and (ii) the directors' loans used  to  exercise  and
sell options would be forgiven.

The  Committee understands that the Board's request was rejected by Swander
Pace and  that  this  rejection  had  a  significant  effect on the Board's
"dragging its feet" as disclosed above.

THE STAR NAILS DEAL.

     Not to be discouraged by this setback, as discussed  in  Mr. Reynolds'
memo dated February 16, 1999, a copy of which is attached to this letter as
Appendix  B,  the Board, in the Spring 1999 attempted to negotiate  a  deal
with Tony Cuccio,  President  of Star Nails, Inc., whereby Mr. Cuccio would
(i) purchase the Pacer shares and options held by a select group, including
Board members Hockin, Reynolds, and Hathaway, for $2.25 per share; and (ii)
purchase the Pacer shares held by a second select group, including Chairman
Hockin's father and three friends,  for $1.70 per share.  The Board did not
offer this deal to any other Pacer shareholders,  but only to those persons
fortunate enough to be a part of the Board's "inner  circle."  As indicated
in this same letter, Mr. Tirman was offered the opportunity to participate,
but  declined Mr. Reynolds' offer because he did not believe  such  a  sale
should be pursued.

     The  Board  chose not to disclose either set of negotiations in either
its SEC filings or  its  solicitation materials in spite of the fact that a
Pacer  shareholder  would likely  view  such  information  as  MATERIAL  in
evaluating his or her  investment  in  Pacer  and in determining whether to
vote for the Board.  Furthermore, the Board, knowing  full well that it had
unsuccessfully  attempted to "sell out" its shareholders  on  TWO  SEPARATE
OCCASIONS, has the audacity to accuse Mr. Tirman of being a "greenmailer"!

Re:  Cash Purchase of Shares
     PACER TECHNOLOGY
     Our File No. 2145-151

Dear Mr. Handley:

     Thank  you for your fax letter dated August 24, 1998.  Some members of
the Board of Directors are unavailable today for discussion and therefore a
Board resolution  authorizing a firm counter proposal cannot be immediately
made.  However, based  on  informal  discussions,  it  is believed that the
Board would be receptive to an all cash deal at $2.15 per  share so long as
the following items are included:

(a)  The Board would deliver the controlling block of stock and the options
     associated  therewith  would have their strike price reduced  to  $.01
     (1c); and

(b)  Miscellaneous Directors' loans would be forgiven.

     Although this letter is  based upon my perception as corporate counsel
to Pacer and is not binding, it  does  indicate  what  I  believe  would be
agreeable to the Board of Directors.  If you could respond to the above two
items  by  the  close  of  business  today,  then a complete picture can be
presented  to the Board in a telephonic meeting  to  be  held  Thursday  or
Friday (at the  latest),  with a response to your proposal occuring shortly
thereafter.

     I look forward to hearing from you.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   /s/ Larry K. Reynolds

Re:            Possible Sale of Block of Pacer Stock/Options


MESSAGE:       Accompanying  please  find spreadsheet which shows the block
               of  stock  we  have  been talking  about.   Because  of  tax
               consequences, any deal  would  have to be done in such a way
               that  the  options  are sold to you  and  exercised  by  you
               immediately.  I have  indicated  a  price  of  $2.25 for the
               stock and options relative to the Board Members who, at this
               time,  are  willing  to  sell.   The rest of the shares  are
               indicated  at  a  price  of $1.70.  I  have  included  as  a
               possibility  only,  the sale  of  a  large  block  of  stock
               (962,500 shares) but  we  have not spoken with Mr. Tirman as
               to whether he is willing to come out at $1.70.  Keep in mind
               that upon exercise of the options,  $1,887,500  will  go  to
               Pacer.  As of the record date for the last annual meeting of
               shareholders,   there  was  a  total  of  15,864,975  shares
               outstanding which  means  that  if this is still the correct
               number  there  would  be  a  total  of   17,764,975   shares
               outstanding after exercise of the options of which you could
               own  as  many as 5,178,650 shares (over 29%).  Please review
               the accompanying  and call me at work (909) 787-9400 or home
               (909) 683-2841 to discuss.
