For the fifth straight year Bobby Archer’s Motorsport Parts & Equipment will be holding their in-house open house on August 7, 2004. Big plans are being made to celebrate different styles of racing. The festival atmosphere is a showcase of cars and products to please almost everyone’s taste. Our friends from karting to IRL to classics to street rods will be bringing their cars to share experiences and knowledge with the public.

To make things lively, there will be a car show with trophies presented at the end of the day. Car show participants may register between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Registration to enter the car show competition is - $10.00.

We have two bands scheduled to play during the day – Blues Fighters and Egress - so you can dance and sing the heat away … along with barbeque and tacos for sale in the parking lot. There will be free drawings going on all day with lots of valuable prizes given from our manufacturers and friends. We even have a “guess the number of…” contest from Gachman Iron & Metal. We also want to thank Summit Springs Water for donating the water.

Along with getting a look inside these great cars, we are pleased to have several exotic dealers bringing their cars for viewing.

That’s what’s going on outside – inside you can meet some of the representatives of our manufacturers and learn what’s new and why. There will be seminars to teach some of the basics – like the importance of tire temperatures and pressures and how to use this knowledge to increase your skills.

The local race clubs and tracks and driving schools will be here to answer any questions and there will be a chance to enter the raffle for Children’s Charities (a new car)!!

After spending the better part of the day seeing all this, the day will reach its peak with the Miss Motorsports bikini contest presented by Elite Looks Talent from Houston. About 60 girls are entered at this time, so things should be exciting. They will be here all day doing a photo shoot with the best looking cars. If you are interested in allowing your car to be photographed with the girls, please plan to be at the store by 10:00 a.m. Sponsorship for this event includes the honor of being a judge, so give us a call if you are interested.

We want to thank Valley Ranch Vacations, Gachman Iron & Metal and Thundersports for jumping onboard so quickly.

We have never before thought it necessary to plan a rain date for an event during August in Texas, but from past experience we are hedging our bets and making Sunday, August 8 our rain date.
