(Lakeland, Florida \u2013 January 9, 2020) Racecar Engineering\u2122 has announced they will once again be hosting their \u2018Vendor College\u2019 event for all local, regional, and visiting racers and race teams during the racing action of Speedweeks\u00ae* in 2020. This exclusive event will take place at Racecar Engineering\u2122, 8126 US Highway 98 North, Lakeland, Florida on Sunday February 9, 2020 from 9AM until 3PM.
\nRacecar Engineering\u2122 hosts their annual event during the second weekend in February, after some of the racing dust has almost settled. They have set aside one day during Speedweeks\u00ae* to allow drivers, their teams, and their dealers to interact one-on-one with the factory personnel from over 60 prominent product manufacturers they represent.
\nSteve Dorer of Racecar Engineering\u2122 explains the idea behind their annual event \u2013 \u201cIf you’ve ever been fortunate enough to attend the PRI Show, many racers and teams know that it can be hard to ‘Get Up-Close and Personal’ with their favorite brands and the factory reps they may have spoken to on the phone over the years. And when you\u2019re at the track, let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s tough to connect with the factory reps with 100% focus between set-up, practice and qualifying. So we’re again giving these racers and their teams the opportunity to meet our vendors ‘Face-to-Face’, to discuss technical questions or perhaps solve problems. And who knows, they may just find or learn something ‘new’ that may help give them that ‘Winning Edge’ they’ve been looking for to help them during the 2020 racing season and beyond.\u201d
\n\u201cRCE is fortunate to be at the \u2018crossroads\u2019 during these two exciting weeks of short-track racing, as a majority of the racers will be passing right through our city.\u201d Dorer continued, \u201cThis date is one of the only \u2018less busy days\u2019 that the teams will have, so this time each year, we now officially open our facility at Racecar Engineering\u2122 to allow vendors, racers, and our dealers to ‘Meet-In-Person’, \u2018Face-To-Face\u2019 & \u2018One-On-One\u2019.\u201d
\nRCE\u2019s \u2018Vendor College 2020\u2019 will feature factory technical seminars throughout the day, along with factory personnel displaying their company\u2019s latest & greatest racing parts and handing out their 2020 new product literature.
\nThis exclusive event will also include goodie bags for all who attend featuring factory literature, decals, and maybe a few cool surprises. Food and refreshments will be available for a small charitable donation. There is also a huge charity raffle with great prizes courtesy of participating manufacturers, activities for the kids and maybe best off all, great deals on racing parts and equipment.
\nJust a few of the manufacturers scheduled to be on-site during the Racecar Engineering\u2122 \u2018Vendor College 2020\u2019 are: Allstar Performance, Alcon Brakes, AP Brakes, AR Bodies, Bassett Wheel, Bert Transmission, Bilstein, Brinn Transmission, Cometic Gasket, Comp Cams, Daytona Sensors, Design Engineering, Driven Racing Oil, DRP Performance, FAST Electronics, Five Star, Fragola, FK Bearings, HANS, Hawk Brakes, Holley, Hyperco, Jones Racing Products, KRC Power Steering, Maxima Racing Oil, MPD Racing, MSD, PEM Racing, Performance Friction, Powermaster, QA1, QuickCar Racing, Racing Electronics, RaceQuip, Roux Helmets, Simpson, Strange Oval, Stilo, Swift Springs, Sunoco, Tilton Engineering, TI22
