Las Vegas, Nevada—Sony Car Audio will host sponsored professional race car drivers Ryan Preece (NASCAR) and Dylan Hughes (Formula Drift) in their booth #10325 at the annual SEMA Show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 5th to 8th, 2024.
Preece, driver of the Stewart Haas #41 NASCAR Ford Mustang Dark Horse, and Hughes, Formula Drift driver of the Royal Purple/Permatex #129 BMW, will attend the show and sign autographs for attending fans in the Sony Car Audio booth #10325 in the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM on Thursday, November 7th, 2024.
Both drivers are avid performance car enthusiasts both on and off the track, and enthusiastic Sony Car Audio fans that use the products in their rides. The racers have been sponsored for several years and have even sported custom Sony livery.
The driver autograph signing will headline an exciting booth displaying a stunning customized 1966 Pontiac Catalina called "Big Cat," built by longtime Sony custom show car builder John Wargo of The Custom Shop out of Flanagan, Illinois. The Catalina features a full Sony Car Audio system, showing off the Sony XAV-AX8500 and Sony GS speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers.
A rare 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will also debut in the booth. Owned by GoFast Solutions, Sony’s authorized car audio distributor for New England, it sports a fully OEM integrated Sony Mobile ES audio system built by B.J. Curcio of Broken Silence Custom Car Audio in Greenwich, Connecticut. The system rocks loud and clear when you want to switch to your favorite tunes instead of soaking up the impressive sound of the 5.0L Coyote V-8 engine and Borla exhaust in this high-tech track-capable daily driver.
Sony’s Tech Team will be on-site to demonstrate the products and answer questions about them, finding Sony products locally, and even becoming a Sony authorized retailer during the show.
You can see the cars and meet the drivers at the Sony Car Audio booth #10325 at the SEMA Show, or you can contact your local authorized Sony Car Audio retailer for more information on these exciting products.
Anchorage, AK 3/11/2024 Known by so many throughout the industry as “Big Bro”, SoundShield founder and CEO, John Schwartz has earned that title by doing whatever he can to help others be their best. At the next Knowledgefest event, which takes place in Nashville, TN from April 19th through April 21st, Schwartz’s company will continue that tradition by sponsoring the seminar entitled “Cast Off the Crutches”. This seminar, which will be delivered by Jon Kowanetz of Pathways Coaching & Consulting, aims to help attendees to identify and overcome the obstacles that are holding them back from getting to where they want to go in both their personal and professional life.
Through the sharing of personal experiences with habit and behavior change, Part 1 of this seminar seeks to empower others to proudly acknowledge the areas in their own lives that they would like to change and shows them how doing so could benefit them both at home and at work. Whether the habit is as seemingly harmless as nail biting or excessive social media usage, or as destructive as alcohol and drug dependence, attendees will learn a step-by-step process to overcome it.
Part 2 of Cast Off the Crutches is a workshop that builds upon what attendees learned in Part 1, by giving them an opportunity to use that same step-by-step process to create an actual plan to change their unwanted habits and behaviors, in a way they may not have encountered before. “We all know that in order to change a habit or behavior, we must first acknowledge it,” Kowanetz said “But to create the desire to actually make that change, we need to clearly define why it is a problem for us, how much it could negatively affect our lives if we don’t change it and how much our lives could improve if we do!”
“Look, we all need to make money, sell more, install better and there are so many classes at Knowledgefest that will teach people how to do those things,” said John Schwartz of the sponsorship “But what is all that worth if we are not good within ourselves? The industry needs a class like this and SoundShield is proud to support it!”
Part 1 of “Cast Off the Crutches” will be delivered at 8:00 am on Saturday, April 20 2024 in room 103 A and Part 2 will be delivered at 10:30 am on Sunday, April 21 2024 in room 103 A, as part of the Knowledgefest Nashville event, being held at the Music City Center in Nashville
TN. Please contact Jon Kowanetz at Pathways Coaching & Consulting with any questions.
