KANSAS CITY, MO (06.30.26) The Crossroads Of America presented the 7th annual go GOOSTERO Bike Show at the Wagon Wheel Mobile Park just north of Kansas City. The Event took place June 27th and attracted hundreds of bikers to the event.

Chris Pace was on site with the Arrowhead Sales and Marketing with the JBL trailer…. daring bikers to listen.

Pace related “I spoke with dozens and dozens of bikers showing them JB upgrades on the trailer. For the most part they had no idea that JBL offered upgrades like this for their bikes. In addition, we represent Epsilon and PPI that are very strong in the bike category. As a matter of fact, I’m in the process of adding some of their head units to show on the trailer for future events coming up this summer.”

The GOOSTERO included competitions for a number of classes, including vintage choppers, modern choppers, garage built choppers, lawless, choppers, vintage motorcycles, modern motorcycles, baggers, best of show, peoples choice and moose award.

Concluding Pace added “Having an in-person experience at a biker event like this really connects with their community. There’s just no way bikers can connect online to get a feel of what’s really available.”

Pace has a number of bike events on his calendar coming up this summer. One of the events will be at the Lake of the Ozarks and they’re anticipating more than 250,000 bikers to attend.

LIMA, OH (06.29.26) – AMA Pro Racing mourns the loss of American Flat Track competitor Dan Bromley, who passed following an on-track incident during Saturday’s Lima Half-Mile in Lima, Ohio. AMA Pro Racing and the American Flat Track community extend our deepest condolences to Dan’s family, friends, teammates, fellow competitors, and all who knew him.

A third-generation flat track racer from Warrington, Pennsylvania, Bromley built one of the most respected resumes in the paddock. He was the 2018 AFT Singles champion and the 2025 AFT AdventureTrackers champion, and his career reflected the consistency, versatility, and determination that define the best of flat track.

“Few families have contributed more to the spirit and strength of flat track than the Bromley’s,” said Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA Pro Racing. “Dan carried that legacy with talent, humility, and a genuine love for the people around him. He was a true champion in every sense of the word. He earned respect as a racer, but his impact reached far beyond results on the track. His presence in the paddock made our sport better, and his loss will be felt across the entire flat track community. On behalf of AMA Pro Racing, we send our sincere condolences to the Bromley family during this difficult time.”

Information regarding memorial arrangements and any further updates will be communicated when appropriate.

WASHINGTON, DC (06.26.26) – The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) has added Megan Kowalis to its Washington, D.C.-based Government Affairs team, bringing extensive grassroots mobilization experience to the organization’s acclaimed program for mobilizing automotive enthusiasts and content creators for advocacy. As manager of digital communications and partnerships, Kowalis will lead outreach and relationship management with a variety of stakeholders and online content creators in the automotive space.

Before joining SEMA, Kowalis spearheaded national and statewide grassroots programs for the National Alliance for Care at Home and Twenty7Fifty Public Affairs. She has a familiarity with the organization and industry, having previously supported SEMA member advocates during Capitol Hill meetings for a 2025 fly-in.

“Megan brings fresh energy to this role and a proven track record of success engaging new advocates on issues that impact their businesses and lifestyles,” said SEMA Director of Communications-Government Affairs Matt Daigle. “We’re excited to tap into her creativity to connect with the content creator community as we continue to grow a program that has provided tremendous value to SEMA’s advocacy efforts.”

“America’s car culture is a vibrant and important part of who we are as a nation, and the people who make it great deserve to have their voices elevated in Washington, D.C.,” said Kowalis. “I’m thrilled to be working for SEMA in an official capacity and can’t wait to engage with our community’s content creators, who make up a critically important group of voices in our industry and for our advocacy work.”

Kowalis, a Colorado native, holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and English literature from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota.

SEMA’s groundbreaking work to engage content creators on advocacy has established a network of more than 150 creators spanning car culture, from builders to racers to off-road enthusiasts, whose authenticity and passion for the automotive industry has translated well to grassroots mobilization. The program has yielded significant legislative wins at the federal and state levels and was among the reasons SEMA was awarded the 2025 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) President’s Award for Excellence in Communications.

OXNARD, CA (06.25.26) – No car rebuild, especially done by teenagers, is complete without a new audio system, and BOSS Elite was there to step up and provide all the necessary components for the Agoura High School (Agoura Hills, Calif.) auto shop class and its students’ restoration of a 1970 Chevrolet C20 truck.

“The collaboration between our students and BOSS Elite represents exactly what career education should be, which is real, hands-on work with industry partners,” said Brian Wright, instructor, Agoura High School, and project lead. “Our students aren’t just learning in a classroom, they’re building, creating, and solving problems alongside professionals. That kind of experience is what prepares them for the next step, whether that’s college, a career, or starting their own path in the automotive world.”

Agoura High School’s auto shop class serves 75 students across three sections. Once the project is complete, the truck will be featured at a major car show before being raffled/sold to benefit the program.

“I met Brian (Wright) since my son and his son are in a garage band together,” explained Colin Ross, BOSS Elite associate band manager. “He mentioned that he is teaching auto shop at our kids’ high school and he then brought up the truck project. When I asked what brand they were using for audio, he said none. So, I gladly offered to help. Brian then invited me to the shop after school and showed me the vehicle the kids were working on so I could spec a system for it.”

Ross said that once he took a look at the Chevy C20 and discussed his thoughts with Wright, they decided to utilize the truck’s existing audio component sizes and locations so the students would get a good idea of audio installation without having to do any major cutting or fabrication.

In the end, the 1970 Chevrolet C20 truck’s new BOSS Elite audio system includes:
• BE7ACP.WX double DIN 7-inch car stereo with Apple Carplay and Android Auto
• BE6004D 600 Watt 4-Channel Class D amplifier
• BE692C 2-way 6×9 coaxial speakers
• CH4220 2-way 4-inch full range speakers
• BOSS Elite wiring kit

“These kids are great, and they are truly learning a trade that could lead to quite a few different education and career choices after high school,” Ross concluded. “It’s wonderful that Brian was not only open and enthusiastic for our help and that we could provide a terrific system for the truck project, but also for the students to be introduced to the ins and outs of car audio installation.”
