2010 Dealer Expo in Indy

We spent the first half of the day Sunday at the 2010 Dealer Expo in Indianapolis. Although the show was smaller than in years past, it is still amazing how large the powersports industry is. It is always a fun trip. I am a big fan of all the cool graphics at the show. This year my daughter Sami went along. She really enjoyed it, but her biggest thrill of the day was getting her picture taken with Travis Pastrana. She is a big fan of Nitro Circus and came home with stickers and posters to plaster in her room and on her motorcycle.

The show is a great opportunity to search for new products for Speed Partz and I think we found a few that will be big hits. We are still working through the details, doing a little more research and hoping to release them in the very near future.

I am pretty excited about the next issue of our www.minisprintracer.com e-zine. I've received some help and I think it will be something that everyone will enjoy. We've got a few new advertisers, a few columnists and reviews of a few new products for our market. I am hoping to publish by month's end.

Mini Sprint E-Zine Will be Back

Thank you for all that responded to our first Mini Sprint Racer E-zine. We've had over 1,000 people read our first edition and we are currently working hard to produce our second edition which we hope to launch sometime in late February. Although I am not sure where it will go we have several exciting things happening around the project. We've had a few people step forward that will be contributing articles. One area that I am looking forward to is a personal fitness trainer that will be providing us information on how to get our bodies ready for the upcoming season.

We've also had quite a bit of interest in doing another outing in the go-karts. I plan on announcing our next karting date in the next few days. For now the snow is falling, but racing season is not far away.
