News, Products & Toys From Advanstar's 2007 Off-Road
Expo
October
8, 2007– The 8th annual Off-Road Expo presented by
Toyota was a huge hit for all motorsports fans in and around
Southern California. Hundreds of vehicles and products were
showcased at this years event which was even larger than
last year, nearly all the halls were filled with the latest
off road products, race cars, pre runners, and accessories.
This years Off-Road Expo not only filled
motorsports fans of all kinds with knowledge of new products
but kept them entertained with shows and activities all
weekend long. The first ever Toyota FJ Cruiser Ride and
Drive event was going on all weekend in the middle of the
race track adjacent to the UROC RockCross races. Off Road
enthusiasts were able to get behind the wheel and take the
new FJ Cruiser's thru the dirt and over the rocks to get
a real taste of what it's like to be off road in a Toyota
FJ Cruiser.
Many booths were filled with FJ Cruiser
accessories, including the much talked about FJ Cruiser
Roof Tent.
Away
from the hustle and bustle of the crowded halls, Monster
Energy's Shannon Campbell put on a show for race fans that
made their way out to the UROC RockCross event just a stone
throw away from the Toyota Ride and Drive challenge. Check
out the full story on what happened on the rocks here.
Bully Dog also wanted a part of this weekends
excitement and held the Bully Dog Diesel Dyno Shootout.
The diesel with the highest rating of horsepower and foot-pounds
of torque would walk away with bragging rights and some
great prizes.
Manufacturers from all over the world came
to this years Off-Road Expo to debut new products along
with old but favorite ones. Some got a chance to play the
all new video game DIRT. A game with unbelievable graphics
that make you feel like you are actually fighting for the
lead around the first turn at Crandon, or making your way
thru the traffic at Chula Vista. If you have a Playstation
3 or Xbox 360, this game is a must have.
The Fab School's booth was a big hit at
this years Off-Road Expo. They were the only booth to have
a complete on site welding station. The Fab School instructors
were on hand to give anyone interested a quick welding lesson,
or allow for those who already knew how to weld to have
a little fun. The Fab School recently took on a project
for Wide Open Baja and are building all of the Baja Challenge
a-arms for this years 40th SCORE Baja 1000, they led demonstrations
throughout the day as they continued to build the arms right
in their booth!
