2009 Off Road Expo Feedback

[blowns10]

Hey everyone, I would like to know what your opinions or comments are pertaining to this years Off Road Expo. What did you think?. I attended, however, I was disappointed to find out that there were only 3 buildings to view (buildings 4,5 & 6), last year it was great...all buildings where up and running!!. This year was not all that!!...even though there was a lot to see, I was a bit unpleased. There were some good booths and nice vehicles on display, not to mention some of the cute models...but where were the Off-Road.com girls??; they were not present, which was a bit sad!!. All I'm asking for is your opinion on the matter, whether it's good or bad. What did all you who attended think of the expo?. Were you content or disappointed with this years show?. Thanks to all who respond!!. Late.

I have to agree on the Offroad.com girls

I was really impressed on the ampunt of promotion and follow through from last years event. However I do understand that these girls hired last year were professional models therefore cost some coin $,$$$.

To offroad.com, I would recommend utilizing some nice classy looking girls for future events and they dont have to be pros, just good honest looking girls with good attitudes.


As far as the expo and size of the show itself.... you have to understand the US is experiencing a full on depression. The leaders of the country call it a recession, but understand it is likely to get worse before it gets better.

The attendees that setup year after year, are solid companies that will continue to do well and progress through hard times. These are the same companies and brands the excel in R&D and bringing new products to the market. Support the strong and solid companies, support their vendors and distributors.

Here is the FiberwerX Report from the 2009 Expo

I think it was an awesome event, and for us personally, the Expo puts a solid notch in our belt each year we attend. We have done so since 2001 I believe.

FiberwerX Shakes It Up At The 2009 Off Road Expo

October 13, 2009
Santee, CA

What a weekend, what a show! The Off Road Expo is a true gage that exemplifies what is going on in and around the off road community. It is great to see the industry thriving despite the hard economic times that the country is experiencing under the current recession. So many companies continue to step it up and show off their new developments, display project vehicles, and network with enthusiasts. Even with the Powder Puff Race taking place during the same day, the expo saw good crowds and a constant buzz of people excited to be there.

The Off Road Expo offers a platform for the FiberwerX Brand to flex some muscles and share our success. Each year as the company grows, FiberwerX is proud to state that we have increased our presence and influence throughout the show. Going bigger and better each year posses a difficult challenge to top our previous effort. The creative team that drives the FiberwerX Operation, began planning the action months before the Expo. Brian Binkert from Bink Designs has been instrumental since he started with the company and his influence is quiet apparent in our day to day operations. Coordinating the booth displays and layout, to the fliers and marketing material, Brian has his hands in all aspects and promotions.

This year’s Expo presented hundreds of high performance off road vehicles and many of those cars were outfitted with our Off Road Fiberglass Products. FiberwerX is proud to maintain stable relationships with the industries finest vehicle builders and retailers. As the off road industries top manufacturer of custom designed body panels, quality and customer service is our #1 priority. We are stoked to add Simon Perez as a full time sales rep. Simon a true off road racer is great shock guy and has over 10 years of sales experience from his time at ORW.

Besides some sexy off road cars on display including a Raceworks Designed Trophy Truck PreRunner, and the #34 Trophy Truck, we had six classy FiberwerX girls working the show and driving more traffic right to our booth. Once there, our guest had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the very cool Extreme Motion Simulator. This thing is real deal and a lot of fun. Pretty much blows the Baja Bully Dog Simulator out of the water. The Extreme Motion off road Simulator had a line of people waiting to try it out all weekend. With nearly 360 degrees of movement and a 37″ flat screen, the driver sits in a vehicle cockpit and feels real movement & motion of the car flying through the air, side to side, up & down, forward & backwards, depending on the vehicle control in the game. Playing Dirt with the mechanics and electric actuators was really a whole new experience on the Extreme Motion Simulator. FiberwerX arranged a promotion where the weekends fastest driver won $200 in FiberBucks. 1:50:02 was placed by 14 year old Carson Humphries who came all the way from Baja North in Canada for the show.

One vehicle that was absent from the show was the FiberwerX built San Vicente Class 8. Ricardo Sanchez was racing down at the Record San Vicente 200. A really great event was had by all participants but Ricardo had the best day taking the overall win in the Ford Class 8.
