The Brothers Performance Spring Car show in Deland Florida has now come and gone, now we’re reliving all the fun we had with about 100 photos we took of the event last Saturday! What a great day we had, the weather was perfect and the turnout for the show was probably the largest we have had at our Deland location, oh and did we mention there was more than a Mustang or two in attendance, actually close to 400+ cars including every make model Mustang you could imagine, a couple of Ford ST Focus, some older Camaros, a Pontiac or two, some awesome C6 Corvettes, a few Hemi Challengers, and a trucks or two for good measure. During the day we worked hard and had over 20 cars running across our dyno, we even tried to dyno test a monster Corvette drag race car as a demonstration for the crowd to enjoy, but it did not want to fit safely on the dyno, so we had to take it off before it literally flew off ! Our DJ Randy created a good vibe with a variety of fun music and he also he also gave away over $3000 worth of raffle prizes though out the day to various lucky raffle prize winners. Everyone who purchased raffle tickets on Saturday was entered into the drawing for one of our 13 great raffle prizes and they were also entered into our 50/50 raffle where one lucky winner would win half the raffle ticket sales in Cash. Our 50/50 winning ticket was pulled by Lena, one of the Brothers Performance Show models who helped out through out the day and the lucky winner won $250 cash! Freshly cooked Hot Dogs and Hamburgers were served all day hot off the BBK Grill as well as some well needed cool refreshments that seemed to hit the spot with everyone as the day heated up. Around one o'clock we held our popular exhaust sound off competition that ended up with around 30 cars sounding off in our warehouse bay doors to find three prize winners that took home $100, $60 and $40 dollar gift certificates. Take a look at the Brothers Performance Spring Car Show Event Photos below in our gallery, and check out the fun for yourself , we will have a video of the event edited and produced soon. Brothers Performance would like to thank everyone who attended this year’s show and a special thanks goes out to those who purchased raffle tickets, 50% of the proceeds $300 was donated to the "Wounded Warriors Project". We hope to see you all again later this year at our October event - you guys are what make the event so much fun - so a big shout out and THANK YOU to all of you for making it so successful!
What a great day for a muscle car show - this last Saturday in Deland Florida Brothers Performance hosted their East coast spring car show and sales event and this time the weather was perfect! Things got underway around 10am but there were a lot of people who started arriving early to get a good parking spot and sign up for the dyno shoot out challenge and exhaust sound off around 8am ! As soon as the Brothers crew had all the EZ ups set up, dyno room opened, parking spots reserved for our VIP guests, drink and snacks set up and free hat sign up locations organized - we checked with DJ Randy Anderson to make sure he had the power he needed to spin the decks and that our food vendors Twin Boar BBQ were ready to start serving delicious ribs - pulled pork & beef brisket sandwiches, all reports were good to go - so lets start the show ! By 11am nearly all the available parking on the concrete pad around the building was used up and cars were starting to park on the turn around circle and on the grass - we started to see some amazing cars from friends old and new - some car club members had cruised to the show in a convoy and we even saw that Mid Florida mustang club had a few cars join us earlier in the day, it was great their members back supporting the show as they really bought their members out in force at our grand opening back in August of 2009 - which was an amazing huge event - so thanks again for stopping by, its been a while. We also had a nice showing from a group of members from the Daytona Mustang club - thanks for all your support and the great photos and video you have forwarded to us. We even had a solo member from the space coast mustang club - sorry didn't get his name but we hope to see a larger presence from that club at the next show. The day was starting to roll by and dyno challenge was well under way and our Dyno tuner/ engineer James from Tuning by James already was on his forth or fifth car on the dyno. We had some great raffle prizes from our manufacturers - we had gift certificates from Lloyds floor mats - AGR steering - ARP fasteners - Grant Steering wheels - stage 8 fasteners and Product from Classic Design concepts , PRW, BBK Performance, JLT Performacne Cold air systems, Race ramps, Flowmaster Axle back exhaust , 2 x Moroso axle back exhaust kits and a Boss 302 Intake manifold and installation kit from Ford Racing as the grand prize plus many more !
The Lovely Wing house girls Marissa and Ann Laura were handling the free hat giveaway and selling refreshments in the showroom and the Brothers sales Staff were kept busy with a steady stream of customer sales and tech questions. The day was passing by fast - Twin Boar BBQ were making alot of people happy with their great food including our pinstripper Dr D who we heard had to go back twice for his lunch it was so good. It was already 1pm time for the exhaust sound off - luckily DJ Randy had a wireless mic that actually worked 150 feet away from his equipment - and it was perfect except for when his equipment malfunctioned for a brief moment decided to enter the sound off on its own. All exhaust sound off contestants were called up in order and proceeded to back up to the line and when given the nod from our exhaust sound engineer Santana Lugo they let it rip ! - Decibels were noted on the sign up sheet from our meter that was placed in exactly the same place for all contestants. (see the video) All participants sounded off and we sorted through the paper work to find the eventual winner of the $250 first prize

We still had a few more raffle prizes to give away and Randy had the job of pulling the last winning tickets around 3pm - we can say there were a lot of lucky & happy winners as the day's events started to slowly wind down - it had been a good 95 degrees most of the day with nice breeze and occasional cloud cover to give us all a break from the direct sun and heat - we also had EZ ups for people to get shade when they needed it.
