This spring, the Daytona 500 kicks off the NASCAR season, so it’s fitting that the 32nd running of Spring Break Nationals (SBN) kicks off the autosound season at the Daytona International Speedway. March 23 - 25th 2018, the car audio association will host sound-off competitions while industry suppliers exhibit autosound and safety products to more than 15,000 attendees.
Held in conjunction with the Spring Turkey Run Car Show (STR), SBN moved from the Ocean Convention Center, where it had produced the show for 30 years.
“It just makes sense,” said SBN Founder and 12-volt retailer Paul Papadeas. “We were able to cut costs dramatically and can apply focus on the consumer awareness element which is SBN’s strength. When the 16-24-year-old male was our demographic, SBN ruled the roost. Now we’re focused on more affluent consumers who are upgrading the sound quality of their systems and buying safety products and accessories.”
A new agreement with the STR management will place SBN exhibitors right at the main entrance of the event. “We learned quite a lot in the first year collaborating with the Speedway event," Papadeas continued. "Foot traffic patterns and other specific logistics being the most important.”
Additional improvements include more square footage to use, better visibility, more personal facilities and increased shuttle service to and from all areas including the SPL demo area and concessions.
