WOH was held at the K&N headquarters in Riverside and had a down to earth, neighborhood car show feel to it. It’s a newer, annual meet-up and had a nice turn out. Because it is a smaller show, we were able to spend a lot of quality time speaking to the attendees which included many individuals who already use EBC on the cars, trucks and bikes. This also gave us an opportunity to introduce new and current fans to some of the newer and upgraded products in the EBC line.

EBC sponsors Formula Drift driver Jeff Jones, who brought his car and spent the day chatting it up with race fans. Jeff currently runs the Yellowstuff pad and the GD Series rotor.

Here’s what Jeff Jones had to say about EBC pads and rotors.

Moving on…

RPM was next on our list.

The RPM tour stopped in Irvine Ca on a hot, sunny summer August day, for a one day event.

As with most tuner shows there were tons of makes & models…including import bikini models.

EBC had quite a presence at the show, as many owners to sport bikes, customs cars and car clubs are dedicated EBC users.

There was a ton of buzz regarding the new Bluestuff race pad – a full race track pad which is also street capable.

One thing is for certain…EBC pads and rotors are strong, tough, long lasting, environmentally friendly and here to stay! Stay tuned for announcements regarding new products and events at EBC Blog.

We look forward to seeing you this month at Crusin For A Cure at the OC Fair Grounds on Sept 25th and in Las Vegas at the SEMA Show, Nov 1st-5th.

Love,
Genevieve Chappell
Ms. EBC

Good friends Matt, Nat, Greg, Jonny, Paul and Doz are going to be racing in teams to the Nürburgring where they will be doing one lap before the run home again. The lads, who are experienced mechanics, came up with this fantastic idea of the project known as The Ring Challenge over a pint.

Split into teams of two, the boys started off with £500 each and have bought budget cars to soup up using donations of money and products from charitable companies. EBC Brakes are donating some new Bluestuff Brakes and new EBC Brakes rotors for their journey which will be taking place on September 8th.

Good luck lads!

As the official Brake sponsor EBC Brakes renews its allegiance with the mountain course as official brake sponsor of the event for 2010. Having been used by dozens of TT winners over its 35 years in motorcycle brakes EBC Brakes management wish to once again recognise the courageous and talented riders who will once again challenge the high speed road race circuit.

Looking back through years Andy Freeman still EBC Brakes owner remembers eating breakfast with the late great Steve Hislop, outright lap record holder in their digs on the Douglas promenade before he ventured off on his YZ250 to grab a win in the Junior TT and having a jar or two with great friends like Mez Mellor.

For bikers, the IOM is THE Mecca of fun, bikes beer, fish and chips and more bikes and EBC Brakes wishes all TT goers a great trip over and tons of fun.

Last weekend the Pep Boys held their Grand Speed Shop Opening in Exton PA. EBC Brakes Supergirl Genevieve Chappell attended the two day event and has written the following blog about the day…

As many of you automotive enthusiasts already know, Pep Boys has spiced things up by adding a new feature to three of the current Pep Boys stores (Washington LA, Lancaster, PA & Exton, PA)…a Speed Shop!

Yep that’s right, you can now purchase and/or order premium, performance products over 5000 to be exact, right from our trusty ol’ friends Manny, Moe, and Jack. Among those products you’ll find a good supply of the worlds best brake pads and rotors – EBC Brakes – made directly in the UK.

The Washington store (first West Coast Pep Boys opened in 1946) was the first to receive a Speed Shop, last Spring, May 2009.

Lancaster and Exton, PA were next on tap – back 2 back – and lemme tell you, the Pep Boys crew knows how to throw celebration – we had a blast!

If you missed these celebrations, not to worry…Pep Boys plans on opening up six more Speed Shop locations (shhh don’t tell em’ I told you) in 2010 including locations in New Jersey, Florida, Texas and Los Angeles.

Charles, the store manager in Lancaster, PA was pumped about getting the second Speed Shop at his Pep Boys Hub store. Meet Charles…

Here’s what Tony Farrel, Speed Shop manager, had to say about his HUGE expectations for the shop in Exton, PA.

We are excited to announce that we have renewed our relationship with EBC Performance Brakes and are adding their performance brake pads back into our system. Initially, 76 SKUs will be added to all hub stories; an additional 55 SKU’s will be in the Speed Shops and over 300 SKU’s will be available through warehouse special order from the Indy DC. The whole line is available to all stores through special order. Look for brochures and counter cards to reintroduce you to the program.
