PRODUCT VAN ROAMING AROUND THE COUNTRY–“PSI Big Air Carbs Inc.” and “Speedway Outdoors Inc” have teamed up with “The Frikin Wicked Clothing Line” to present “The Frikin Wicked Road Tour.” This tour will be stopping in 22 Cities including all of the major motorcycle events and some that may surprise you. “The Tour” is currently seeking full line sponsors and associate sponsors to be represented at all of these events. We have a highly trained sales staff that will be arriving in a tour bus and 30-foot trailer that have been designed to get maximum exposure for all parties involved.
This joint team approach creates a unique opportunity for all companies involved to intensify brand recognition and increased product sales by greatly reducing overhead and marketing costs. Rob Strade, VP of Operations for PSI stated, “Additionally, the forming of a team provides a substantial cost savings, through shared travel expenses, shared venue costs, shared sales representation and joint marketing efforts, thereby increasing each participant’s bottom line.”
The proposed ‘Frikin Wicked Road Tour 2008’ season will begin at Daytona Bike Week in Daytona Florida on February 29, 2008 and end at the International Motorcycle Show in Fort Worth, Texas on November 11, 2008.
Initial travel miles from Ogden, Utah and return to Ogden, Utah at the end of the season are included in the mileage. In August 2008 the tour will be evaluated and a new schedule for 2009 will be determined.

“Despite the current financial climate, outstanding cars will always bring exceptional prices,” said Ian Kelleher, Managing Director of RM Auctions.

Prewar cars dominated the top-sellers list, headlined by a Pebble Beach winning 1934 Packard Twelve Coupe and a stunning 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Cabriolet, both of which attracted spirited bidding with the gavel falling at an impressive $2,035,000 each.
The sports and racing segment of the market also continued to prove strong, with a 1963 Shelby AC Cobra, the first Cobra sold to the public and one of just three factory competition examples, attracting a top bid of $1,732,500. Another top-seller in this category was an extremely rare 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB, which brought $1,375,000 on the block.
Additional auction highlights include: An elegant 1929 Duesenberg Model J Dual Cowl Phaeton with coachwork by LeBaron, sold for $1.76 million.
