Smiley’s Motorsports Open House
Steve Bornowski
This is the one and only consumer event that Smiley’s Motorsports hosts each year. There was a swap meet outside and small vendor tables inside. While the weather was a little cool and rainy, it didn’t seem to deter anyone. Steve had a lot of foot traffic and was able to talk to a lot of people about our products.

NPW FAST Expo
John Iannotte & RJ Sebastian
The National Parts Warehouse FAST Expo is Florida’s largest traditional, performance, and truck show. More than 150 vendors packed in at the Miami Airport Convention Center which brought in large groups of jobbers and consumers. Our booths stayed busy with a steady stream of enthusiasts asking technical questions and requesting literature. John and RJ were happy to talk shop as were the attending vendors. This hands-on opportunity for the consumer to learn more about our products will definitely make an impact in sales.
