Host Car Club Announced "Wicked Effects Car Club"Post Date 1/19/2012, Author: Brian Lutz For the 2012 show, the team at Full House Motorsports LLC wanted to help promote a “local” car club to be the show’s host car club. We searched and talked with many clubs in the area. One club that stood out was Wicked Effects Car Club. This group of men and women host some great events to raise money for charity. They are a dedicated bunch of car lovers!! We met with the majority of the club to discuss the possibility of them becoming the 2012 Host Car Club for the show, and after lots of questions…The decision was made!!Welcome Wicked Effects Car Club as the official 2012 host car club!! Look for their club shirts while at the show and show your support to this hard working club!! You can visit their Facebook page at Wicked Effects Car Club Facebook to learn more about the club. Here’s a little bit about the club from it’s president, Andrew Bealer: Wicked Effects Car Club was created in the late 2007 season. The main goal in creating it was to have a cheap, laid back , enjoyable club that allowed your to partake in a club environment but also have a life outside the organization. We have a very diverse crowd in the club and even more diverse rides from classics, muscle, streeet rods, trucks, imports, and drag cars. In the past years we have maintained that dream but have added more organization and structure as the club began to grow. Starting in 2009 we began to hold our "Fight for the Cure" Car Shows in which we raise money for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Cancer Unit. These shows have some of the cheapest registration fees around to accomidate all car entusiasts and gives everyone a chance for a trophy whether it be for street rods, pro streets, or trucks all the way down to daily driver and work in progress. As we continue to grow we continue to show the general public that the car community as a whole can be a very positive and productive part of society. As always we are looking to expand our club not only with members but also in networking through the entire automotive scene.

Aimee is not just a photographer; she is a die-hard automotive fan. Aimee grew up around mechanics and started racing as a young girl.

When she started her photography business, she began shooting weekend car shows and cruise nights and would pass out her card to anyone she could find. Word caught on, and soon car shows were calling to reserve her as their photographer.

Ringing in the New Year!!Post Date 1/5/2012, Author: Brian LutzAs we are now a couple of days in to 2012, we thought we would share some of the news that’s been going on in the office. First up, as you read below, Rob Ida has been contracted to build the actual award for the NorthEast Cup. We can assure you from the sketches that we have seen that what he has come up with will truly make this award stand above all other. The balance of what’s been going on is…We are working with some of the local Philadelphia sports teams to bring in a celebrity player or two sometime during the weekend for autograph signings. We are also working with Pro Mod Enthusiasts and L.I.E. (Long Island Entrepenuers) to expand Pro Mod Alley to 6, or possibly 8 cars from the doorslammer ranks. Already on board is Hanna Motorsports with the GOJO sponsored jet funny car. Also on display will be the “Paddy Wagon” wheelstander that Bob Hall campaigned for so many years, but now owned (and soon to be driven) by Allyson Kurtas! The air brush face off is back, and bigger than ever!! New expanded area for the demonstrations has been set aside, more artists, and just all around fun!! Look for all the hoods to be auctioned off for charity prior to the awards ceremony on Sunday. On Friday and Saturday night, local band Tube Top Mama will be rocking the house with tunes from the 60’s to today. There’s just so much going on in 2012!!! The Gambler, our charity raffle car to benefit our military service men and women through Operation Homefront, will be on display after making the rounds at many events during the coming months. At approximately 5:30 pm on Sunday, March 25th, we will draw the winning ticket!! Tickets can still be purchased by mail until March 15, then only in person at the show. Many new vendors and vehicles are signing up to display for the weekend. Some of the best cars in the region are coming for their shot at the many great awards that are on tap to be handed out. While we won’t disclose any of the Show Class cars, we have started to put a sampling on the website of some of the Street Class cars that are attending. Speaking of vendors, have you been keeping pace with all the new and returning sponsors of the show? These companies have been great supporters of the show, and we would suggest that if you have a need for anything that these great companies provide, give them a call. On a final note…If you haven’t sent in your paperwork to be a part of the show, we would strongly suggest doing so soon. If you are looking to just be a spectator, keep track of everything happening with the show here and on Facebook. Discount tickets will be available in the coming months, and we will keep everyone up to date on locations. Till next time… Brian
NorthEast Cup NewsPost Date 12/30/2011, Author: Brian Lutz With the show just months away, we have struck a deal with renowned builder Rob Ida from Rob Ida Concepts to custom create a truly unique award. Rob has been a great supporter of the show since the beginning, and when an award needed to be made that would represent the high quality of the car that wins it, the choice was simple…Ask Rob to design and build the award!!!We have been working with Rob for the better part of a few months coming up with a design that would set the bar pretty high in the custom car realm. As of December 29, 2011; that design was finally approved and the long process of manufacturing and building the award will begin. Everyone always has some type of inspiration when building anything, and Rob is no different. Although the award is called the NorthEast Cup, we won’t know what his true inspiration was until he takes the stage prior to giving the award out at the show on Sunday morning, March 25, 2012. What is also truly spectacular is that Rob is creating not just one award, but two identical ones!!! We will hand one to the 2012 NorthEast Cup winner, and one will be emblazoned with each year’s winners that will remain with the show each year!! With all of the spectacular rides Rob’s shop has built over the years, we know that this award will stand above all the other awards given out across the country. We will not share what it will look like, you will just have to come to the show in March to see it. While you’re at the show, make sure to stop by and shake hands with Rob!!

SEMA And Our Custom Car Show NewsPost Date 11/16/2011, Author: Brian LutzWell, it has been a very busy time for the show. Over the past month, we have taken our raffle car "The Gambler" to the west coast for a photo shoot with Street Rodder magazine and we also took the car to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas. The photo shoot will give the car some great promotion in the coming months. As for the annual SEMA show, well, that's always good for us. We were able to meet up with many of the companies that we already know to get their support for the show again this year, but more importantly, we made many more contacts for the future. Over the course of the coming months, we will start to post announcements about celebrity and special display feature vehicles that will be attending the show. One of those announcements which will be forthcoming will be about the return of Pro Mod Alley, which will be bigger, better, and "meaner" this year with a wide assortment of vehicles attending. We are also working on the announcement of the return of one of the jet cars from the Hanna Motorsports stable of cars. Also over the coming months, we will be making announcements about models and celebrity autograph appearances at the show. This time of year is always busy for us with the registrations coming in. As the colder weather starts to descend upon us, everyone starts to make their plans of which shows to attend. With the response we had this past March, we have been getting a huge response from those who want to return because they had such a great time, but also those who did not participate. We would just like to remind everyone that has sent in an application, sometimes it takes a while to find out if you've been accepted in to the show, but we ask that you please be patient. We would like everyone to remember as well, get those registration forms in before it's too late and the show field is set. For all our Vendors, there is only limited space open as of this writing. Many companies did so well this past year that they've increased their respective display areas, so that diminishes the amount of space for vendors looking to display their products. Finally, we have a lot of great things lined up for the show this year, Expanded hours, the return of the Air Brush Face Off, local band Tube Top Mama playing on Friday and Saturday evening, and so much more!! 2012 looks to be a banner year once again, and you DON'T want to miss it!!
The Gambler Raffle Car Debut With Us At Sema Show Las VegasPost Date 11/15/2011, Author: Brian Lutz Well, our trip to the west coast with The Gambler was a huge success!! The show staff headed west with the car on October 23rd. Our first stop was in El Segunda, CA for a 2 day photoshoot for Street Rodder Magazine on October 26th. Randy, Jorge, and everyone at Source Interlink was very hospitable during our 2 days there. From what we understand, the car will be featured in an upcoming issue of the magazine. We even sold some raffle tickets during this 4 day trek!!On October 28th, we pulled in to Las Vegas, NV to start preperations for the annual SEMA show. While we did not have to be in place until October 30th, it gave our staff some time to recoup from the trip. We headed over to the Strip at Las Vegas to watch some drag racing. On the 30th, it was time to head to the Las Vegas Convention Center to get things set up for SEMA. The car was one of 9 cars out of close to 600 feature cars to be selected to be a part of the Meguiar's Car Crazy TV stage. This area is centrally located outside the convention center and also one of the main attractions outside due to the fact that this is where they film Car Crazy TV with Barry Meguiar.  Once the car was in place for the week, we were able to just watch the traffic that the car was generating, and it was BIG! On Wednesday, November 2nd, the car was pulled up on the stage and project leader, Brian Lutz from Full House Motorsports LLC, was interviewed about the car. This whole interview will be on a future episode of Car Crazy TV on Speed Channel. On Friday, November 4th, we sat down with our good friend Dennis Pittsenberger from Hot Rod Magazine Live for a live interview to chat about the car! SEMA was also very good in promotion of the car and also getting the word out there about the meaning behind the build.  We also picked up another sponsor of the car, Covercraft came on board and is doing a full custom car cover for the car. Many of the build sponsors also came by to see the car for the first time!! Jason Rushforth from Rushforth Wheels, representatives from ProCharger, Chris from PYPES, and many more.On a final note, we would like to thank all of our sponsors!! Without some last minute "scrambling" from people like ATI Procharger, Derek from Street Visions, Gil from Gillin Custom Design, Jason from Rushforth Wheels, Chris from PYPES, and others.... we never would have made our deadline of debuting the car at this year's SEMA show.
