SENOIA, GA (4.01.25) – It was an adrenaline pack day as the thunderous roar of Flat Track motorcycle racing happened on Saturday March 29. The nations top riders were battling it out for glory on the legendary Senoia Raceway Clay track for Round 3.

Lorin Morrell, Maddog Media was on site with a KICKER booth set up facing the track showcasing the wide selection of Motorcycle, Powersports, Automotive, Marine and Lifestyle products that KICKER offers across the consumer marketplace.

“It was a rock-solid event from the time the gates opened at 2PM until all the racing was completed well into the night. At this event, there was an open paddock which allowed enthusiast to meet with riders and check out their bikes during breaks in the action on the track. In this setting, the event was also set up with the elevated parking lot overlooking the track. Many actually enjoyed the action on the track seated in their car vehicle. Lighting on the track gave all a great view of the racing” Morrell related.

Many families spent the day with thrills and entertainment that included music and a kids zone plus massive screens for the best view of fireworks display, vendor displays, and a variety of food and beverage options.

“KICKER is a strong supporter of the American Flat Track events along with the AMA ArenaCross events that take place across the US. All of these events connect enthusiasts with KICKER products that keeps all Livin’ Loud” Morrell concluded.

WTF… Where’s The Fun……On the next spin of the 12volt Spin-To-Win Wheel 316 on Friday, April 4th.

12VOLT CENTRAL STUDIOS (03.28.25) – As April approaches, there has been an uptick in business activity across the 12volt industry. 12volt distributor dealer shows can help contribute to driving that uptick activity going forward.

In past years, the 12volt News has worked with distributors to spotlight as many as 30 of their upcoming dealer shows with news posts leading up to their show, during their show and following up from their shows. When the Covid 19 pandemic appeared nearly 5 years ago now that put a long-lasting damper on in-person activity. The Covid 19 cloud also put a damper on industry members traveling to connect across the country. After several years in-person shows and events are making a comeback.

The recent MasterTech Expo 2025, Specialty Marketing and Shiflet Dickson shows demonstrated the desire of industry members to interact with peers, factory staffs, see new products, engage in product trainings and set plans to drive business going forward.

There are presently 6 distributor shows on the 12volt News calendar for April. The A&W Show is April 9th, N&H Electronics Show is April 12th, Tri-State Enterprises April 12th, Davis Distribution is April 15, D Source 15 &16 and House Of Electronics is April 20th.

A schedule for distributor shows in May is not complete. SSR Distributor is set for May 18th. The PNWCEE event is set for May 19-21.

Any additional distributor dealer shows that are in the planning stages can be added to the calendar with an email to mike@12voltnews.com.
