Continuing, Nuttall offered “Friday was high school day and we had 800 students at the show. Many picked up Team Nutz tote bags they will be carrying in the halls at school.

To show the quality of our Auto Magic car care products we polished several vehicles and made them shine with Graphene coat. Also, we completed a Katzkin leather seat job for a Ford Mustang. The All Ways Safe International truck that debuted at SEMA 2021 and loaded with Memphis Audio, lights and custom interior got attendees very interested and asking questions.

Literally thousands went home with some swag with our name on it too. This week after the event we will begin to follow the QR Code activity as well.

The KICKER AMA Pro ArenaCross 2022 Series Raced Into The Lazy E Arena

GUTHRIE, OK (01.24.22) – The KICKER AMA Pro ArenaCross 6-City Series, with 10 races, raced into The Lazy E Arena in Guthrie OK, outside Oklahoma City, for a 2-Day Round 4 and Round 5 race card… Friday and Saturday January 21st and 22nd.

The KICKER display set for the Friday opening at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie OK.

“It was cold outside but inside the action on the track was red hot as riders and attendees were Livin’Loud. The doors at the Lazy E Arena were open to let fumes from the track action escape the arena so it was a bit chilly inside,” Lorin Morrell, Maddog_Media who orchestrates KICKER’s presents at the events, stated.

The KICKER Big Lifted 1 grabbed attention on the track during break in the race heats.

Continuing, “We had a display area in the lobby area and virtually everyone who entered the Lazy E Arena had to pass by the KICKER setup. We had a selection of KICKER products for all to see. We were talking to members of the crowd about KICKER throughout the evening. Oklahoma is truck country so the new KICKER L7T under seat drew a lot of attention. Powersports in strong in the area too so the KICKER RZR grabbed attention. The PowerBar really opened eyes when we cranked it on the RZR in the lobby.”

Round 4 250 Pro Podium Kyle Peters, Heath Harrison and Josh Cartwright donned KICKER caps for the image posted @kickerarenacross.

For Friday and Saturday night’s event the stands were nearly full with attendees very engaged with action on the track. Amateur riders took to the track during the day and pro riders took the track through the evening from 6 until well after 10 PM.

The Kicker ArenaCross 2022 Series is reaching the midpoint.

Saturday night the KICKER Polaris General, Big Lifted 1, was on the track during breaks in the race heats. Every eye in the Lazy E Arena was trained on the KICKER Big Lifted 1.The Polaris General is so loud it drowned out the arena’s PA system. Since the KICKER World HQ is located 33 miles away in Stillwater the KICKER brand is very well known and respected in the area. The Saturday night crowd, and racers, were so engaged being so close to KICKER HQ.

A happy Lorin Morrell gives a smile from the seat of the KICKER Polaris General on the track.

In addition to the action on the track T-shirts were tossed into the crowd during Pro Race breaks and track maintenance periods. Kicker athletes tossed wrapped KICKER T’s into the crowd. A special T had a certificate wrapped inside for a KICKER BullFrog to be picked up at the KICKER display in the lobby. A lucky member of the crowd had a big smile when he picked up his Bullfrog.

Concluding, Morrell added, “The KICKER AMA Pro ArenaCross got off to a great start in Loveland and Amarillo and the races at the 2-Day Guthrie event took the excitement to a new level. Next stop is Round 6 Greensboro NC January 29th. The KICKER AMA Pro ArenaCross is Livin’Loud in 2022.”

Dave Clews Sworn in as the Mayor of Pottsville

Dave Clews during the swearing in ceremony on January 3rd as the Mayor of Pottsville, PA.

POTTSVILLE, PA (01.21.22) – 12volt Dave’s Audio is a 12volt retailer that has served the Pottsville, PA community, and surrounding area, for over 20 years. Clews is a lifelong resident of Pottsville and has a 4 decade history in the 12volt industry.

Owner Dave Clews is now the Mayor of Pottsville and was sworn into office on January 3rd. Before his election as Mayor Clews was a City Council member and worked to support brick and mortar businesses in the city.

Clews offered to local media he was excited and planned to get with department heads to share ideas. In his sixties Clews still sees the value of cultivating young entrepreneurs who are interested in seeing Pottsville prosper.

A file image of Dave Clews in his showroom excited about remote start season.

Mayor Clews is a people person and through the years has had a passion for taking care of his customers at 12volt Dave’s Audio. When it comes to taking care of his customers Mr Clews has a clue! No doubt Mayor Clews will have the same passion for the citizens of Pottsville.

In a phone call with the 12volt Central Studios Mayor Clews made it clear that the job of Mayor would not take all his time. But when there were duties requiring his presence as Mayor the staff at 12volt Dave’s was well equipped to keep things cranked up.

He also confirmed he was the first male Mayor of Pottsville to have a ponytail. When asked about 24-hour cruise-ins the Mayor indicated he would have to get back with us.

All the best Mayor Clews.

N&H on the Road at PowerSports Dealers

HATTIESBURG, MS (01.21.22) – N&H Electronics is a proactive distributor based in Hattiesburg MS that distributes PowerBass in their territory. PowerSports is a hot category for PowerBass and on Thursday, January 20th, N&H staff member Van Lee was on the road making sales calls with UTV dealers in the area. Outdoor PowerHouse in Denham Springs, LA was the first stop of the day.

Van Lee related, “The key to driving all audio sales is for a customer to actually hear the music. The PowerBass SoundBar countertop display is ideal for a Powersports dealer to let their customers to hear the music in their showroom. Outdoor PowerHouse in Denham Springs is a perfect example. In their showroom they have a Polaris wall display. A PowerBass SoundBar display is on a shelf on the display.”

Van Lee (R) – N&H pictured with Josh Sewell at Outdoor PowerHouse in Denham Springs LA. The PowerBass SoundBar is placed on the Polaris rack display.

During the sales call Lee spent time with Josh Sewell covering the latest PowerBass products for PowerSports applications.

During a call with the 12volt Central Studios Sewell let it be known he is a real fan of the PowerBass SoundBar. “I have one on my Kawasaki and it rocks. My sister also has a Kawasaki with another brand of soundbar and she wants mine. The customers in the store like to hear the PowerBass SoundBar on the display play music from their phones. OEM systems for UTV’s cost a lot more plus roofs can be $4,000 or more. For me the PowerBass SoundBar plays loud and gets it done.”

Concluding, Lee stated, “We have several PowerBass SoundBar countertop displays placed with PowerSpots dealers like Outdoor PowerHouse and also with companies that sell golf carts.”

Erik Harbour, PowerBass VP of Product Development & Global Marketing, stated, “N&H has been a longtime supporter of our brand and a great distribution partner for us. We are always happy to see distributors out supporting the dealers that support our brand. This is the true definition of team work amongst our PowerBass partners!”
