Auction Software, Inc. Hires New Chief Operating Officer

Statesville, NC - Long-time auction owner and industry lead-er John Rea is the new Chief Op-erating Officer (COO) for Auction Software, Inc. (ASI), announced Ron Ball, chairman of the Board for ASI, a high-end technology company that develops auction management software. Rea will oversee day-to-day management and operations for the company which currently provides software to over 100 auto auctions.

Rea is no stranger to the East coast area. Upon graduation from college, he served as a fleet/lease manager for ADESA Charlotte before returning home to Mis-

sissippi to manage Rea Brothers’ Mid-South Auction. Having grown up in the auction industry, Rea possesses a thorough understand-ing of the software needs for auc-tion management. The family sold Rea Brothers’ Mid-South Auction in 2010, but Rea wanted to stay involved in the industry. “I love the auction industry and this is such a good fit with my computer science and sales training, as well as my auction management back-ground,” said Rea, “I am excited to be part of the ASI team.”

Rea holds a BSBA degree from University of Southern Missis-sippi and is past- president of the

National Auto Auction Association (NAAA). He has also served on the NAAA Board of Directors and chaired several committees in his history with the organization. Rea takes pride in developing relation-ships and says that excellent cus-tomer service will remain his top priority when tailoring ASI soft-ware to various auctions. “John’s experience in the industry as an auction owner/manager coupled with his strong computer science background will certainly prove to be an asset to our organization and of great benefit to our cus-tomers,” Ball stated.

Petty’s Garage First Spring Fling Car Show and Legacy by Petty World Debut

Draw CrowdsAutomotive Lift Institute (ALI) Commits to Sponsoring the Car Show through 2014

Randleman, N.C. – Hundreds of NASCAR fans and car enthu-siasts made a pilgrimage to Level Cross, N.C., on May 28 to honor Richard Petty, take part in the inaugural Spring Fling Car Show at Petty’s Garage, and witness the official reveal of Legacy by Petty, the one-of-a-kind Dodge Chal-lenger custom built by Petty’s Garage to pay tribute to Richard Petty and promote vehicle lift safe-ty. The event was sponsored by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) and its member companies.

“This inaugural event allows fans and car enthusiasts to walk the grounds where it all started for Petty race fans,” said Greg Steadman, general manager of Petty’s Garage, the high-perfor-mance speed shop located in the garages that were once home to Petty NASCAR teams. “For Petty’s Garage and our partners, the event allows us to show off in-novations and cutting-edge prod-ucts associated with builds such as Legacy by Petty, the new WIX

Filters Dodge Challenger, and the Petty Superbird.”

The car show kicked off around 8:30 a.m. Two hours later, everyone gathered for some heartfelt presentations and the much-anticipated reveal of Legacy

by Petty.R.W. (Bob) O’Gorman, ALI

president and owner of Legacy by Petty, took a moment to thank the team at Petty’s Garage and other key contributors to the Legacy build, including artist Mickey Har-ris and Pfaff Designs. He praised the hardcore Petty fans and car collectors who came out to the event in spite of a massive storm that ended only minutes before the gates opened. O’Gorman said he was especially amazed by the dedication of one 1970 Super-bird owner who drove that classic vehicle through the storm all the

way from Virginia just to be part of the show.

O’Gorman introduced Mike Robertson, North Carolina motor vehicles commissioner. Robertson presented Petty with a unique shadow-box-style plaque featuring

photos of key mo-ments from his 200th NASCAR win in 1984 through the Legacy build, a certificate signed and sealed by Robert-son and O’Gorman, and the first in a series of four com-memora-tive license plates. The plate, which reads “200

WINS,” was commissioned by ALI for Petty. Robertson had four of the plates printed in the state’s historical license plate stamping area using vintage 1984 blanks. The second plate in the series was installed on Legacy by Petty. The third was presented to Stead-man. Petty signed the fourth and returned it to Robertson.

Robertson entertained the crowd with the story behind the commissioning of the license plates, which started with a phone call from a “crazy Yankee.” But, Robertson said, as he listened to

CarMark Certified Continues Signifi-cant Nationwide Expansion

Now with dealers in 20 states; partnerships secured with prominent automotive companies such as CARFAX and AutoTrader.comCary, N.C., — CarMark Certi-

fied, the new vehicle certification program designed for franchise, former franchise and independent car dealers, has gained signifi-cant momentum in its first seven months of operation. CarMark compares favorably, and in many facets is equivalent to, automak-ers’ factory Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programs.

Now being offered by dealers in 20 U.S. states, CarMark Certi-fied provides dealers with the abil-ity to offer CPO vehicles with the same benefits available through factory programs. Furthermore, CarMark Certified provides fran-chise dealers with a complement to the automaker’s factory pro-grams by offering “Other Makes and Models” (OMM) as CPO vehicles.

CarMark Certi-fied is a program offered to dealer members of the Pre-Owned Au-tomobile Dealers Alliance (POADA). The strength of POADA’s member-ship and manage-ment has resulted in the involvement of several promi-nent companies in the automo-tive industry as POADA partners, including:

o AutoTrad-er.com

o CARFAXo Allyo APCO/

EasyCareo Dealer-

Tracko Black Booko Manheim The CarMark program, ad-

ministered by APCO/EasyCare, is available to all dealers — fran-chise, former franchise and inde-pendent — and that fact is reflect-ed in the makeup of the current CarMark dealer base. Currently, 56 percent of CarMark dealers are franchise dealers, 32 percent are independents and 12 percent are former franchises.

“CarMark was designed to provide every type of dealer with the ability to offer their customers the peace of mind that comes with the purchase of a CPO vehicle,” said Bill Zadeits, managing direc-tor of POADA. “Franchise dealers

already understand the impor-tance and value of certification. Now, by combining CarMark with their manufacturer’s certifica-tion program, they can potentially certify all of the used vehicles on their lots. Former franchise and independent dealers can use the CarMark Certified Pre-Owned Pro-gram to set themselves apart from their competition and compete with the peace of mind and value offered by manufacturers’ certifi-cation programs.”

For more information about the CarMark program or how to become a CarMark dealer, visit www.carmarkcertified.com, e-mail [email protected] or call APCO/EasyCare at (800) 628-4635.

If You Don’t Take Care of the Customer Someone Else Will

What can make your dealer-ship stand out from the rest and help you improve business with no additional cost to you? The answer is simple Great Customer Service!

I will give you some real life experiences of what some dealer-ships choose to do and what their action resulted in as I drove down the highway shopping for a car.

What does your staff do when they see someone walking the lot? Do they ignore them or do they greet them? What happens if they are busy with another customer? Is that potential other customer left wandering?

Well here is what happened we pulled into a front spot of a Domestic Dealership. My wife and I got out to look at vehicles on their lot, after approximately 15 minutes without no one com-ing out we started to walk in and we notice this salesman is com-ing through the front door, Great! Wrong he starts talking on his cell phone , lights up a cigarette and keeps walking. We continue to the showroom and see a sales-man is trying to close a deal with I will assume his Manger helping out, while another manager sits in the office after 10 minutes with-out one person addressing us we walk out! Wait there is hope the salesman is finished with his call and is walking up, sorry no save, lights another cigarette and starts another call.

Result, we walked away and let other people know of the shabby service of that dealer-ship when people ask me for my recommendation. How could have that changed? Well Mr. Salesman was those cigarettes and personal calls worth losing MULTIPLE

SALES? Mr., Manager shame on you!, Excuse yourself from that customer and let the other cus-tomer know someone will be right with them. Acknowledge each and every customer who walks in or walks your lot.

On to dealership 2 another domestic store more towards luxury, parked got out a salesman was doing last minute prepping for a delivery stops us and asks if he can get someone to help us, led us inside and got us a sales-person , that is the way it is done. Went over what we looking for a car for my son in the 10 to 15k range they spent the time showed us vehicles offered test drives did everything right. Result we recom-mend and send people their way and still shop them, unfortunately we did not buy from them.

On to the next dealership an Import dealership and yes a salesperson came right out and directed us to the proper people for what we were looking for. The salesperson and the manager took the time to show us vehicles in the range we were looking for explained various options to us.

Result we left happy and told them we have more shopping to do.

Went to another domestic store and salesperson came out explained our needs , he told us to hold on while he checked his in-ventory, he goes inside ( does not offer us to come inside yes it was January in the Northeast) come back looking over the inventory list and tells us he has nothing in that range. Interesting, their own luxury brand down the highway had inventory and your dealership does not?

Result, a salesman nearing the end of the night could care

less and wanted to go home will not recommend that dealership.

Last but least another import dealership again properly ad-dressed handled right very aggres-sive wanted the sale polite and stayed past closing showing us different options. Result told them we would get back to them.

Here are 5 dealerships same side of the highway in a 3 mile stretch of road, here is what 1 couple has yielded in the past year.

Final Results Domestic luxury recommend

to friends and family. Domestic dealership 1 and 2 do not recom-mend has nothing to do with the brands only the service. Import brand # 1 bought vehicle, brother in law bought a vehicle and sister in law bough a vehicle. Recom-mend to family and friends. Import brand 2 we bought a vehicle 8 months later because we remembered the service and our uncle bought a vehicle from them (traveled 30 miles on our recom-mendation). I am not sure how many friends followed our rec-ommendation but knowing what they drive more did or traveled to another dealership for that brand.

1 couple one year directly re-sponsible for 5 sales and at least 5 more directed to those stores, and it all came down to customer service

So remem-ber, TAKE CARE OF THE CUS-TOMER OR SOME-ONE ELSE WILL!

KELLEY BLUE BOOK HONORED FOR 2011 ‘SPOT-LIGHT DEAL OF THE YEAR’ BY ASSOCIATION FOR

CORPORATE GROWTH ORANGE COUNTYIRVINE, Calif., – Kelley Blue

Book’s www.kbb.com, the lead-ing provider of new car and used car information, today announces its 2011 Association for Corpo-rate Growth (ACG) Orange County award win, specifically in the ‘Spotlight Deal of the Year’ catego-ry. Each year in May, the Orange County chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth recognizes and honors a select group of com-panies that have demonstrated outstanding growth and leadership within their respective industries.

As the 2011 ‘Spotlight Deal of the Year’ award winner, Kelley Blue Book is acknowledged for its recent acquisition by AutoTrader.com. With this deal, AutoTrader.com maintains Kelley Blue Book’s independent and unbiased posi-tion in the marketplace. Further-

more, the new parent company is committed to maintaining and strengthening Kelley Blue Book’s role as The Trusted Resource® for vehicle valuations and other im-portant information relied upon by consumers, dealers, manufactur-ers, and financial and governmen-tal institutions. The agreement, first announced in October and finalized in December 2010, now makes Kelley Blue Book a subsid-iary of AutoTrader.com.

“Being recognized for the company’s growth exemplifies our position as industry leaders, especially as a new member of the AutoTrader.com family,” said Paul Johnson, president and CEO for Kelley Blue Book. “With this new investment by AutoTrader.com, Kelley Blue Book will continue to

further its expanding portfolio of helpful products and services for both consumers and auto industry partners.”

Since its inception in 1926, Kelley Blue Book has grown by leaps and bounds to become the only vehicle valuation and infor-mation source trusted and relied upon by both consumers and the industry. Most recently, Kelley Blue Book launched a fully re-designed version of its top-rated website, www.kbb.com, revolution-izing the way shoppers research new- and used-car information. With the May 2011 site redesign, the company introduced many all-new useful tools such as Real-ity Check for New Cars and Total Cost of Ownership, designed to


Dumb Dealers Don’t Train Their StaffIt is staggering! Even the most

tightly-controlled dealerships cost upwards of $170,000 a month to operate. And their training bud-gets are substantial, contributing thousands per month towards those ungodly expenses. Of course, if you remove all the facto-ry-mandated “idea-of-the month” useless garbage, their training budget is nil… zero… zilch… nada. Since when does the factory know about selling vehicles, aside from “buying the business” by increasing rebates or subsidizing historically low interest rates?

Moreover, dealers still spend an average of $300 to $500 per vehicle in advertising, yet invest nothing to ensure those advertis-ing dollars are leveraged in the showroom. At an industry closing ratio of just 20% (if we are totally honest with one another), sales-people burn between $60 and $100 every time they “walk” some-body that your competitor doesn’t “steal”—and twenty times that much when they “walk” somebody that your competition ends up delivering. Where is your eco-nomic edge in the marketplace? It is resting upon the standards of a sales staff that believes it can discern a “buyer” from a “stroker.” One that is willing to bet all of your money on this magical gift they have, with no new tools to pull out of their tool-box

And there you are, standing on the sidelines during game day, having invested nothing on the practice field, relying on half-time adjustments to non-existent plays written on an empty chalk-board.

We are the most lax, mish-mash, haphazard; make-money-by-accident industry still standing today. Many of us don’t even have an employee handbook, much less a training program or any

By: Mark Ragsdale Dealer Trainer & Consultant operational standards whatsoever.

We are blessed to have made it through the last industry crash and act as though it will never happen again. Sorry to say that the next go-around—and its com-ing soon ladies and gentlemen—will make 2009 look like the good ol’ days. Because that is what all the fundamental indicators point to: continued high unemployment, devaluation of the U.S. dollar, and massive interest rate increases to mop up all the money the Fed has printed to prop things back up.

Imagine squeezing thousands of dollars of buyer negative-equity into 17% APR car loans, while your customer base is paying for massive fuel price hikes affect-ing even the food they put on the table. Imagine breaking your monthly nut while your custom-er’s household expenses—such as variable credit card and mortgage debt—eat up the disposable in-come you used to call gross profit.

I am not a fatalist, but I am a realist. All the cheerleading in the world cannot combat simple mathematics. I wrote about this in my book Car Wreck eighteen months ago. It is what it is. You either decide to prepare for it, or stick your head in the sand and reap the consequences. Period.

Truth-be-told; there are three kinds of dealers: those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those who inevitably wonder what happened. Which one are you? If you are spending just 1% of your busi-ness budget on legitimate train-ing, that would be something to behold. However, it doesn’t even take that much. My company offers excellent LIVE Interac-tive Online Training for roughly a tenth of that amount—$179 measly bucks a month. Less than you would spend on your cable

bill or even a business lunch. Buy yourself a Webcam with a built-in microphone and a set of speakers for $50 bucks at Staples, then sit the kids in front of the TV (Com-puter actually). They receive a 40-minute LIVE Interactive Online Session as many times per week as you like. They get the topic du jour, ask live questions and receive live answers. You set the standard for attendance.

One of my clients, El Centro Motors in Southern California, is a proactive store. When fuel prices were low and trucks were hot with incentives, they made money. When econo-boxes hit a historic high at the auctions and trucks devalued, due to fuel price hikes, they had already mastered the words and phrases to con-tinue making money. When Ford put hybrids on constraint, due to Japanese earthquake-driven component and paint restrictions, they enhanced their sales tools to sell what they had. They are progressively prepared to handle whatever economic conditions are thrown their way—all for the price of a measly lunch. Yet they arguably admit they are not where they need to be. Are you so honest with yourself or are you relying on

Ford Drives into New Orleans for Third Year as Exclusive Automotive Partner of

2011 Essence Music FestivalDEARBORN, Mich., -Ford Mo-

tor Company is back for the third consecutive year as the exclusive automotive partner of the 2011 Essence Music Festival being held over the July 4 weekend in New Orleans. Ford will be involved with the festival in both an organic and hands-on way that enables people to experience and learn more about the company's newest products in a fun and mean-ingful atmosphere. Ford's continued partnership with Essence Communications allows the company to dem-onstrate its technologically advanced and fuel-efficient products to a diverse group of influencers and opinion leaders during the largest African American music and culture event in the U.S. that regularly attracts a quarter million attendees a year.

Ford is set to return for the third consecutive year as the exclusive automotive partner of the 2011 Essence Music Festival being held this July 4 weekend in New Orleans. Kanye West and Mary J. Blige are slated to head-line the festival, with main stage performances by Jill Scott, Chaka Khan and El Debarge. Touted as the largest African American music and culture event in the U.S., the Essence Music Festival attracts an estimated 250,000 participants, in addition to be-ing a benchmark of New Orleans tourism.

As a proud and active partner of the festival, Ford has created special opportunities for the city of New Orleans and festival at-tendees, including the chance

for one festival attendee to win the keys to an all-new 2012 Ford Focus, a vehicle that gets up to 40 mpg; an exclusive broadcast with The Steve Harvey Morning Show; and celebrity autographs at the Ford Motor Company booth inside the convention center each day.

Just as visitors to the 2010 Essence Music Festival had the chance to get behind the wheel of

such vehicles as the 2011 Ford Edge, this year's attendees will be able to test drive such vehicles as the 2011 Ford Explorer, North American Truck of the Year, and the all-new 2012 Ford Focus.

In addition to the opportunity to win the keys to the Ford Focus, Ford is also giving festival go-ers the chance to win cool prizes inside of the Ford booth and take part in an exclusive broadcast with SiriusXM live from the Ford main stage. As part of the contin-ued partnership with SiriusXM, Essence Music Festival attendees can listen in on celebrity inter-views and secure autographs from some of their favorite artists dur-ing the festival.

As Ford's Multicultural Mar-

keting Manager Shawn Lollie ex-plains, the Essence Music Festival is a strong partnership that offers tremendous opportunity when it comes to awareness of Ford prod-ucts within the African Ameri-can market, particularly African American women.

"We've found that the Essence festival is an excellent opportu-nity to interact with thousands

of individuals from across the country and to share the news on the latest and greatest in Ford's vehicle portfolio, such as the 2011 Ford Explorer and our all-new 2012 Ford Fo-cus," said Lollie. "Our interactive and experiential displays will

enable African Americans from across the country to get close to our products and brand to expe-rience the amazing gas mileage, style, safety and technology."

MetroGistics Announces Partnership With Dealerslink®

Facilitates Seamless Transport Quoting and Ordering for MembersSaint Louis,MO. – MetroGis-

tics, a full-service vehicle transpor-tation company, has announced a new partnership with Dealer-slink®, a members-only, dealer-to-dealer wholesale marketplace. As part of the arrangement, MetroGistics’ Web-based logistics quoting, ordering and load-tracking functions will be integrated into the Dealerslink Marketplace.

Both companies are taking advantage of cutting-edge technol-ogy to streamline processes that will provide dealer members with seamless quotes and ordering through www.dealerslink.com to meet their auto transport needs. This partnership between two up-and-coming leaders in their respective fields will give custom-ers a simple and satisfying experience trading cars from dealer to dealer.

“Our team spent over six months researching and interviewing most of the major logistics companies in the United States,” said Mike Goicoechea, CEO of Dealerslink. “We selected MetroGistics as our logistics partner because they had the perfect combination of above-average delivery times, industry-leading load-track-ing technology, and dedi-cated customer service. Our dealer members have high standards and expect us to only work with indus-try leaders.”

“We’re very excited to be fully integrated with a market leader such as Dealerslink,” said Scott Naz, one of MetroGistics’ manag-ing partners. “Providing a reliable shipping solution to an established

dealer-to-dealer trading platform will help both sides scale into markets that

O’Gorman’s request, he decided that he wasn’t so crazy after all. The crowd roared as Robertson shook Petty’s hand, stating: “It has been a pleasure to be involved by ALI in honor-ing you, Richard. Congratu-lations, sir—North Carolina loves you!”

“We’ve gotten some amazing honors, but this is something really differ-ent,” Petty said. “We thank you, commissioner, and our friends at ALI for going through all this trouble.”

Robertson also surprised O’Gorman with a 2011 North Carolina “200 WINS” license plate. This plate is registered to the trailer that will be used to carry Legacy by Petty to car shows and other events around the country.

“By registering the plate to the trailer that ALI will use, we’ve put ‘200 WINS’ in the DMV system to preserve the integrity of the com-memorative plates, while keeping the right to use that plate ‘in the family,’” Robertson said.

Red, White and … Petty BlueOne of the things that makes

Legacy by Petty special is the amazing handiwork of renowned airbrush artist Mickey Harris. Harris told the crowd that he was so inspired by the project that he returned to his studio to paint a portrait that would honor the Legacy by Petty car and The King himself. He presented that por-trait, “Red, White and … Petty Blue” to Petty at the ceremony.

“In my 35 years as an art-ist, I’ve worked on art restoration for some of America’s greatest pieces at the Pentagon and some amazing vehicles, such as GM’s America’s Pride Camaro,” he said.

“But today I con-fess that perhaps one of the greatest experi-ences of my entire career has been to be selected by Mr. O’Gorman

to represent ALI and his interest in telling Mr. Petty’s story here on the Legacy tribute Challenger.”

A visibly moved Petty told the crowd, “This beautiful and amazing piece will go imme-diately to the Richard Petty Museum, forever to be shared with the greatest fans that ever were.”

Legacy by Petty Uncovered

At last, it was time to pull the custom cover off of Lega-cy by Petty. The crowd respond-ed instantly once the trade-mark Petty Blue metallic paint was visible. It’s the details that make this car a true testament to Petty: Har-

ris spent more than 156 hours illustrating Petty’s unparalleled racing career through freehand paintings on both sides of the Challenger. Inside, the leather upholstery by Katzkin matches The King’s crocodile skin boots. And in the backseat, one of Pet-ty’s signed and numbered Char-lie One hats hangs on a special display stand.

Once the car was revealed, The King applied the fi nal touch, autographing the Challenger’s odometer cluster in front of the crowd.

In addition to honoring Petty and representing Petty’s Ga-rage, the car also will be used to promote vehicle lift safety as it travels to events around the country. The vehicle features the ALI website URL, www.autolift.org, under each door opening.

Summer Hitch Promotion a HitTo date, lucky consumers have won over $12,000 in cash and received valuable premiums for purchasing

Draw-Tite®, Hidden Hitch® and Reese® hitches.Plymouth, Michigan – Cequent

Performance Products’ Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese receiver hitch brands have added cash, coupons and gifts to customers across North America through their series of special summer hitch promotions that continue until September 1, 2011.

“We have several objectives for the receiver hitch summer series,” explains Tom Benson, Cequent Performance Products President. “The first and foremost is to draw attention to the special attributes of each brand (like the Draw-Tite “Tested Tough™” campaign, or to Hidden Hitch’s Canadian heritage) to help our installers and dealers communicate the elements that make them number one in their respective markets.

“The chance to interact with our customers around this North American sweepstakes also gives us a chance to show them the vast selection of merchandising

tools we have developed to help them tell our collective story,” adds Paul Caruso, Vice Presi-dent/General Manager of Towing Products and New Business De-velopment. “Giving installers and dealers a way to reward their re-tail customers for making a great purchase decision, combined with consumer incentives designed to solicit repeat business makes us solid partners in their advertising effort.”

Caruso points out that par-ticipation in the summer series is simple. “The act of registering their warranty information online automatically qualifies the con-sumer for selected premiums and a chance to win at least $100. Twenty winners are selected each month, and the odds are deter-mined by the number of custom-ers that register. Those fantastic odds of winning are what are creating the buzz.” Cequent also offers two $1000.00 awards, each

month, selected from the pool of installers and dealers whose retail customers participate.”

“We believe that our leader-ship is best demonstrated by of-fering superior products and

By the second week of Sep-tember the sweepstakes portion of the programs will have rewarded 100 consumers and 10 lucky installer/dealers with $40,000. the tools our customers need to ensure success with our brands” says Tom Benson “But in the end it almost always comes down to people.” “These promotions focus on the people who make our busi-ness run.”

Draw-Tite’s “Joined at the Hitch,” Hidden Hitch’s “Built for Life,” and the Reese “Picture Yourself” programs run through August 2011. Details can be found either by visiting their re-spective websites or by contacting Cequent Performance Products.

Boat Dealer Runs One 'Hull' Of A BusinessLong hours, hard work carried Jim Dooley from boat mechanic to owner of Inland Marine Boats. To work as a salesman for Jim Dooley, it is not essential to have a knowl-edge of water-craft. Dooley, the owner of Inland Marine Boats, 7255 Metropolitan Blvd., Barn-hart, says he looks for someone with a talent for selling when he is hiring. "Salesmen are a dime a dozen," Dooley, 51, of South St. Louis County, said. "Good sales-

By: Richard Pizarro men are far and few between. I can teach a good salesman to sell a boat. But I can't teach someone

how to sell." Dooley has a thor-ough knowledge of vessels. He became a boat mechanic at age 19. "My par-ents had a boat and needed someone to work on it," he said.

"I went to South County Tech for night school, the adult continu-ing education program, to learn outboard motor repair." He got a job working as a boat mechanic at the Lake of the Ozarks for four years. After that, he returned to St.

Louis to work at a boat dealership as a mechanic and in sales. He and a partner opened the business in 1986 in South St. Louis County. In the beginning, it was a boat service and repair shop only, later adding boat sales. In 2000, he moved Inland Marine to its pres-ent location on a hill overlooking Interstate 55. Those who come into the shop can see a variety of vessels arranged inside his build-ing and sitting around his lot. He has bass boats, bow riders, cruis-ers and pontoons. It's not just the well-to-do who are able to pur-chase watercraft, he said."We get people of all economic

Continued From Page 18levels," he said. "We sell used boats. We have financing. You don't have to be rich to buy a boat." Dooley leaves the selling to his employees, for the most part, these days. He takes care of the administrative duties of Inland Marine. "My normal day is 14 hours during our busy season of spring and summer," he said. "Off season, it goes down to about 10-hour days." His day-to-day task is serving as his company's general manager. He oversees sales, marketing and all financial aspects of the business. He also helps out in the service department. When necessary, he picks up and delivers boats. "I've been to New Jersey to pick up a

repair boat," Dooley said. "It was a guy who moved here from New

Jersey and didn't have a way to get his boat here." More often, he will go to a lake in the metropolitan area or, maybe, to the Lake of the Ozarks to drop off or retrieve a boat. Staying afloat in these rough

economic times has not been easy, Dooley said. "We probably lost

40 percent of our competition in the St. Louis area over the last few years," he said. "Last year was not great for us. We need it to pick up." For buyers, the market is tremendous, he said. "It's a great time to buy," Dooley asserted. "There are deals to

be made." Dooley said he has en-joyed his line of work. "If you're going to be in the sales end of it, what better job can you have than to come to work in sunglasses and shorts and sell fun?" he said.

Center For Automotive Research Re-leases New Fuel Economy, Safety StudyThe Center for Automotive Re-search has released its latest study focused on the impact of an-ticipated fuel economy and safety mandates on the U.S. automotive market and industry in 2025. The report, The U.S. Automotive Market and Industry in 2025, asks the question “What will anticipated mandates for increasing vehicle fuel economy and improved safety do to the automotive industry in the United States?” The study relies on technology and market forecast data from the National Research Council and J.D. Power and As-sociates to project the technology segmentation necessary to achieve anticipated fuel economy mandates in 2025.Increased fuel economy mandates

based on reducing emissions rang-ing from 3 percent to 6 percent per year are under consideration by the government. The highest increase, 6 percent, will raise the Corp orate Average Fuel Economy from 35.5 mpg in 2016 to 62 mpg in 2025. Costs for safety mandates are less certain, but are conservatively estimated to add an additional cost of $1,500 to a new automobile by 2025.A few of the report’s conclusions are: • The average increase in ve-hicle cost necessary to achieve the higher CAFE mandates range from $3,700 to over $9,000. • The higher mandates will increase vehicle prices that exceed the savings in fuel costs (over five years), even if gasoline costs $6.00

per gallon (in 2009 prices) for most scenarios under consideration. • Consumers will shun these technology costs by holding onto their used vehicles longer, especial-ly if fuel prices are low (e.g., $3.50 per gallon), resulting in lower sales and a loss of automotive employ-ment. Over 260,000 jobs may be lost if the highest mandate is passed and fuel prices stay low at $3.50 (2009 prices). • The authors seek mod-eration in raising fuel economy mandates and recommend peri-odic review to assess the rate of technology development and cost reduction of advanced technologies leading up to 2025.The full report is available at www.cargroup.org.

A DVD player and flat screen TV in the trunk will be used to show both the iconic movie Petty Blue and excerpts from Lifting It Right, a DVD hosted by Richard and Kyle Petty for ALI that is focused on safely using vehicle lifts.

As news teams stood side-by-side with fans and car collectors, Petty and Steadman recalled the start of the Legacy by Petty tribute project back in November 2009 at a Las Vegas dinner attended by representatives of ALI and Petty’s Garage.

“You see, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas!” Petty joked. “This car is proof of something good and highly detailed that can happen when partners set out to look after the interests of each other.”

Steadman noted that in addi-tion to promoting the Petty legacy and the Petty partnership for au-tomotive lift safety, the Legacy by Petty car was built to be driven.

“This is truly something spe-cial,” he said. “Not only do we have Mickey’s hand-laid artwork and a totally new technology that creates an ‘ice blue’ old-school flame that can only be seen in the dark, we also have a unique Petty Blue base with micro-fleck in a BAF RM fin-ish that is guaranteed for life.

“The Legacy by Petty tribute Challenger has a specially modi-fied 426 hemi and custom exhaust which puts power to the 3:91 rear end,” he continued. “We matched the car with a special Petters/Petty suspension and those big, monster Brembos. We built this car so that if put to the test, it will definitely perform.”

ALI Commits to Sponsorship through 2014

To wrap up the program, Doug Grunnet, ALI chairman, presented the Petty Family Foundation with

a check and announced that ALI, in cooperation with its member companies, has committed to sponsoring the Spring Fling Car Show at Petty’s Garage annually through 2014. A date for the 2012 event will be announced later.

“There are some amazing cars here today,” Grunnet said. “I’m not only talking about the new Petty Superbird, the WIX car, and ALI’s Legacy by Petty, but also the cars that came from near and far to par-ticipate in the show. Today’s presen-tations and Mickey’s artwork make me proud to be in Randleman, N.C. Walking the show earlier with Bob, Greg and Richard took me back to my days as a younger man, and seeing such a wide variety of muscle cars and hot rods, repre-senting so many enthusiasts, quite simply makes me proud to be an American.”

Inaugural Spring Fling Car Show Winners

There were some 100 cars at the Spring Fling Car Show, from as far away as Illinois, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and New York. Each participant received a Legacy by Petty poster and a show plaque. The $20 entry fee supported the Petty Family Foundation and the Foundation Fighting Blindness.
