Pictures from Ace Cafe in Orlando - Saturday, March 31st


On Saturday, March 31st, Bobby, Yancy and I travelled from Stuart, Florida to Orlando, Florida to hold a Tech Session on machine polishing at the Ace Café in Orlando. The Tech Session went great and then the rest of the day we all manned the Autogeek Booth and did demos and answered questions.

I took a few pictures of some of the cars at the show, check em out...



This is not an actual tractor but a custom fabricated streetrod that looks like a John Deere Tractor. People at the show told me it looks wild going down the freeway passing cars.

Gassers are a specific style of 1/4 mile race cars that include removing the very heavy front suspensions and replacing them with lightweight straight axels and this is why they have the "stance" that sets them off as Gassers, and that is the front of the car sits higher than normal and even higher than the rear of the car. You can also see the leaf springs that attach the straight axel to the frame.

Fender headers are also typical of Gassers....
