Continuing “Soon they had finished installing the radio and were just finishing up re-installing the amplifiers in their customer’s bike. When everything powered up, and a few adjustments on the radio were made, Steve said he had not even touched the DSP and it already sounded awesome.”

TULSA, OK (02.21.23) – Code Zero Customs had a major presence at the recent Low-n-CLEAN in Tulsa Saturday March 23rd at the Tulsa Expo Square.
Cody Landis, Code Zero Customs owner, related “Being on site up front with a 20 x 40 booth as an Official Vendor at the event was a real branding opportunity for our company. Attendees were serious automotive aftermarket enthusiasts and it’s a great way to showcase our brand, products and work to the right audience. Our Code Zero Customs apparel also grabbed attention.”
Code Zero Customs showcased this 1950 Ford F1 and a customized Subaru in their booth.
Code Zero Customs had show specials spotlighted in the booth with other products and their custom speaker enclosure builds.
“Showing great project vehicles by the booth, a 1950 F1 and Subaru, really let attendees see our custom work. Seeing our client vehicles around the show floor is always humbling too.”
“At the show our goal was to to put our brand in front of of new Tuner crowd. Attendees asked if we are local so they can come to the store to talk about projects on their vehicle. This event was definitely a good experience and we certainly look forward to the next Low-n-CLEAN” Landis concluded.
DAYTONA BEACH, FL (03.29.24) – A major new fundraising initiative for the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America begins in a big way Tuesday, April 2, with the rare opportunity for a winning auction bidder to have a one-on-one lunch with General Motors President Mark Reuss.
This truly priceless and unique, behind-the scenes experience takes place on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at the GM Global Tech Center in Warren, Michigan, and will be followed by Reuss and the winner touring the annual Employee Car Show celebrating the 60th anniversary of select GM A-body cars like the Pontiac GTO, Chevelle SS and Olds 442.
The auction is available exclusively on automotive auction industry leader Bring a Trailer (BaT) and takes place from next Tuesday, April 2 through Tuesday, April 9th. The winning bid for this no-reserve auction, including the BaT buyer’s fee, will be donated to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (MSHFA), which is operated by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation. The MSHFA’s mission is to honor its “Heroes of Horsepower” inductees and their winning American motorsports accomplishments and to preserve their legacies for generations to come. To create a BaT account in advance of the April 2 auction posting, please click on BringaTrailer.com.
“The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America is an important organization to me and enthusiasts everywhere,” Reuss said. “I’m honored to be a part of this event, and excited for the auction winner to experience our Employee Car Show, which is always a very special and enjoyable day at GM.”
A high-performance motorsports enthusiast and strong supporter of the MSHFA, Reuss most recently inducted the MSHFA Class of 2023’s Sports Cars enshrinee Zora Arkus-Duntov, the late “father” of the Corvette and Corvette racing. A mechanical engineer, Reuss began his career with GM as a student intern in 1983, ascending through the global automotive giant to the position of President in 2019. As President, Reuss has overseen some of the most exciting racing programs in the corporation’s long history, including the introduction last year of Cadillac’s championship-winning IMSA GTP hybrids and the popular “Garage 56” NASCAR Chevrolet Camaro entry that stole the show at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Reuss one-on-one luncheon auction is the first of several blockbuster online fundraising initiatives the MSHFA is introducing this year. Established in the late 1980s and fresh off its 36th Annual Induction Celebration presented by Toyota Racing earlier this month, the MSHFA, as a nonprofit, is largely dependent on donations – which are typically tax-free – from individuals and organizations for its annual operating budget. The MSHFA Museum is located on the grounds of Daytona International Speedway (DIS), just outside of the NASCAR Turn 4 tunnel on International Speedway Blvd. (ISB) in the DIS Ticket & Tours building and greets more than 150,000 guests annually.
“We are deeply indebted to Mark and to Bring a Trailer for making this possible,” said MSHFA President George Levy. “For any motorsports fan or automotive supplier, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend one-on-one time with one of the industry’s truest and most powerful enthusiasts.”
The GM Global Tech Center, which just underwent a major renovation, adds to the truly special luncheon experience with Reuss. Designed by renowned architect Eero Saarinen, the campus opened in 1956 and houses the GM Design Auditorium, alternatively known as “The Dome.” The vast majority of GM vehicles developed since the mid-1950s have started life at this location, and the campus functions as an innovation center for automotive engineering, design, and technology.
The GM Employee Car Show, which is held annually around the scenic 23-acre lake located on the Tech Center campus, is closed to the public, but the winner will join Reuss after the lunch for a tour and viewing of the legendary GM A-body classics on display.

In just two weeks we have witnessed an improved reseller compliance of +20% and have now achieved 95.99% online listing compliance on today’s report.”
Through this collaboration, Race Sport Lighting and MAP Services will work closely to identify and address instances of unauthorized selling, MAP violators, and brand misrepresentation across online platforms. By leveraging advanced monitoring technology and proactive enforcement strategies, the partnership aims to create a cleaner and more transparent online marketplace for Race Sport Lighting’s products.
“We are thrilled to partner with Race Sport Lighting in their mission to preserve brand value, profitability for their dealers, and combat online pricing discrepancies,” said Tom Ameduri, National Account Manager of MAP Services. “With our combined software, expertise, and resources, we are confident that we can effectively safeguard Race Sport Lighting’s brand integrity and enhance the overall customer experience.”
