FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

With an estimated crowd of 40,000 off-road enthusiasts, the California Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs and its Foundation stayed extremely busy during a recent weekend at the annual Off Road Expo in Pomona, CA.

The Foundation’s "Make the Grade" Used Oil Recyling Exhibit was joined by the Association’s Membership booth and the new, fully decked out Sweepstakes Jeep Wrangler. More than 600 different exhibits were featured throughout three different buildings at the Fairplex events center.

Jack Raudy, grants manager for the Foundation, served as exhibitor for the new Used Oil Recycling display. "This was my first time down here and I was blown away with how many off highway vehicle enthusiasts come to this Expo," said Raudy. "From the time they opened the gates until closing each day, we had between five and 15 people standing in line to visit with us."

In addition to providing Expo attendees with the opportunity to view the new Make the Grade video production, they also received a package that included a new brochure, coloring book, tire gauge, magnet and funnel.

"Enthusiasts, whether four-wheelers, dirt-bikers, or dune buggy families, all seem to have a genuine interest in learning more about recycling used oil and filters and how they can do a better job of cleaning up spilled oil out on the trail," Raudy said.

Val and Dave Henry, who staffed the association’s membership booth along with Ray Leuschner, said this was their best year ever. "We had a steady stream of customers requesting everything from information on joining the association, where they could ride, to purchasing association merchandise," said Val Henry. "We are extremely indebted to Off Road Expo officials for providing us with three exhibit spaces this year."

The 2004 Sweepstakes Jeep Wrangler that will be given away during the CA4WDC Convention in Reno in February was also a huge draw for Expo goers. While Don and Angela Cook, this year’s Sweepstakes Vehicle chairs, were still counting donations, they did say it appeared that this year’s Off Road Expo event was more successful than 2002.
