We all know that
it has become more
and more common-
place for consumers
to make purchases
online, but the
increase in purchasing
using mobile devices
is going to dramatically affect the eCom-
merce world this year. Retailers should
do everything they can to ensure that
they can be found and researched
through mobile devices. With the big
push in geo-location, ads will begin to
be delivered to consumers using local
targeting methods. Consumers are
now getting much of their informa-
tion through smart devices as well, so
it is important that a mobile website
be part of a retailer’s plans. I caution
domestic companies about the speed at
which foreign competitors are able to
bring products to market. It is increas-
ingly important to make every effort to
streamline the R&D process in order to
get to market quickly. Take the time to
think outside of the box. Things such as
Groupon and Facebook will continue to
be large influencers in how people buy
things in the near term. Think about
all of your marketing from the con-
sumer’s point of view. Even the slight-
est adjustments in keywords, images
used or geo-location could dramatically
increase sales.

Turbochargers are
driving change and
innovation. As the
OEMs plan around
forced-induction pow-
erplants, this trend will
be the one to shape the
future of performance
products in our industry. The number
of turbocharged cars is also growing in
domestic drag racing. While professional
road racing is no stranger to the turbo
setup, the trend is definitely making its
way down through the grassroots levels.
Street performance is moving away from
bolt-on applications and is trending into
more serious upgrades. The economic
downturn has shaken out the casual
enthusiast and left the industry with the
hardcore performance buyer. This phe-
nomenon is evident in all segments. The
market for performance exhaust systems
has changed dramatically. Where mufflers
and straight pipes once topped the modifi-
cations list, enthusiasts are having to com-
promise and adhere to tougher emissions
and exhaust-noise legislation. Retailers
should become very focused. Sales have
increased dramatically for those businesses
that have developed reputations for expert
service or knowledge in a given plat-
form or brand. Niche businesses succeed
because of this, and so I stress education
and movement toward proficiencies in
electronics and forced induction. I would
recommend that retailers guard against
being “all things to all people.”

The GM LS engine
family has become
the new small-block
Chevy. They’re find-
ing their way into
almost any project
imaginable, from street
rods and musclecars to off-road trucks
and imports. They’re reliable, and the
power potential is way better than the
traditional small-block. They’re available
in junkyards, where traditional small-
blocks are becoming hard to find. Holley
is making new LS intake manifolds, EFI,
coil and parts, such as oil pans and head-
ers, to ease swapping them into various
vehicles. We have even started the first-
ever event—the Holley LS Fest—solely
dedicated to celebrating this engine. Hol-
ley is also making EFI easier to use for
racers, with self-learning fuel strategies
that mean the computer adapts to a
modified engine. EFI is still gaining trac-
tion, and more racers are becoming com-
fortable with the idea. Retailers should
tap into their customers’ passion for
our industry, making their showrooms
killer-looking places where enthusiasts
want to hang out and be immersed
in performance. Have parties in the
evening. Put on free training seminars.
Hold car shows. Do anything to keep
them excited about working on their cars.
When they keep the excitement for their
projects, they spend money.

People want a little
bit of everything right
now—performance,
looks and suspen-
sion—but the most
important thing is
the need for more
information. The biggest hurdle is
getting proper data and information
from manufacturers for customers to
make an educated decision on what
to purchase and why. I would say that
98% of the industry is not organized.
We get a lot of customers who are
weekend racers, who want to go the
dragstrip one weekend and a road
course the next weekend with their
daily cars.
Retailers should find a niche mar-
ket that they know about and enjoy
helping with and getting involved in.
But always buy quality parts that you
know the manufacturer will support.
Stay away from the knock-off stuff, as a
lot of those manufactures won’t support
the product or be able to help with tech.
Retailers will have good sales based on
their knowledge of their markets. You
just need to find your niche and stick
with it. There are tons of untapped mar-
kets out there. Finding one is the best
way to make your company stand out.

Turbocharging is
where a lot of the

are going. Our cus-

like ours are working to develop niche
parts to help, and I am also seeing a
major rebirth in sport-compact drag
racing. Our shop is directly involved
with four cars, and we’re also working
with local race tracks to put together
events to get more people racing and
more spectators seeing how fast these
cars really are. The fan base is growing
again. Any business that sticks with its
core customers and treats them well will
find the greatest opportunities, but stay
away from dropping price as a way to
try to steal customers from other busi-
nesses. Not all customers are about
price alone, and most are willing to
pay for your time and knowledge. The
customers who are all about price prob-
ably won’t be loyal. Don’t be afraid to
make money, charge what a product is
really worth, and earn your customers
through hard work.

Best New Performance-
Racing Runner-Up
The most signifi-
cant trends in street
performance are
upgrades for current-
model vehicles—the
’11 Mustang, Camaro
and Challenger. The
light-truck performance market is start-
ing to come back, and products for
the new family of Ford engines are in
demand. Still, parts dealers should
beware of emissions-defeating devices,
such as cat-back systems that delete
the particulate filter on diesel applica-
tions. Hybrid and electric vehicles also
create challenges for the aftermarket
that will require new technologies and
understanding, but keep your eyes open
for new trends. Listen to your customers
with an open mind. Having inventory
on hand is the most important opportu-
nity to take advantage of.

Years ago, we were able
to repair and modify
our own cars. A lot of
people now simply buy
performance. We used
to start with a stock
Chevrolet or Ford
block and outfit it with aftermarket parts,
but we just got an engine into my shop
that doesn’t have a single OEM part in it.
We call it a Chevrolet because it’s based on
that design, but there aren’t any Chevrolet
parts in it. The aftermarket is able to figure
out how the factory parts can be improved
and then builds in more efficiency. The
factory continually makes refinements,
too, but the factory can’t do it as quickly
as the aftermarket. There are also a lot of
aftermarket parts now that are designed to
work with other aftermarket parts without
any modifications—for instance, a set of
Dart cylinder heads that are designed to
work with a specific Jesel rocker system.
If you called Jesel to order a set of rocker
arms and told them what cylinder head
you were using, they could send you parts
that were designed for that head. Retailers
need to look at those combinations and
be educated in what they’re selling.

With the economic
downturn, consumers
are demanding more
value. A significant
part of that value is
the quality offered by
“made in the USA”
products. Perfor-
mance and racing consumers appreciate
the value of established brands with a
truly engineered product, great quality
control, high service levels and compe-
tent tech lines. Consumers also expect
their project cars to perform better in
every way—braking, acceleration, han-
dling—and doing so requires the opti-
mum combination of quality parts. With
those expectations, retailers must not get
trapped into selling just on price. Provide
value where your competition doesn’t,
whether that is with knowledge, service
or selection. The racing and performance
parts consumer is savvy and tends to be
very loyal. Selling on price doesn’t cre-
ate loyalty; it just starts a race to the
bottom. To expand their selection, retail-
ers should focus on building a strong
relationship with a warehouse distribu-
tor (WD) that will give them access to
lines that they don’t buy direct. The few
points given up on margin will be more
than made up in a more efficient and
profitable operation. When it works as
intended, utilizing a WD as the conduit
between a manufacturer and retailer is a
thing of beauty.

People used to tune
carburetors; now they
tune electronic injec-
tion systems. As cars
change, so will the
ways you can make
more power. Retailers
need to be aware of emissions regulations,
and they should also look at the hybrid cars
that are coming into the market and what
they can do to offer aftermarket parts for
them. Some of the OEM and aftermarket
manufacturers are also talking about E85
fuel. Stay on top of where the OEMs
are going. On the traditional business
side, it’s all about quality. People are tired
of buying cheap parts that don’t last, so
instead of buying a $99 turbo kit on eBay,
they’re going to spend the money to do it
right. In racing, drifting has crossed over
from the import to the domestic market,
and a lot of grassroots sanctioning bodies
are supporting that sport. When it started,
the professional drivers and sponsored cars
took the fun out of it for the local guys.
Now people are putting their extra money
into their cars and then getting together at
local drift events all across the nation. You
only have to open your eyes to see how the
market is changing.

Enthusiasts are buying
the new musclecars—
Camaro, Challenger
and Mustang—and
modifying them by
the thousands. Almost
any performance-
related aftermarket product developed
for these cars will sell well, but they need
to be designed and built for a specific car
because consumers are demanding direct-
fit products. Retailers should consider
specializing in a certain brand or service
because it’s much easier to be good at
a few things than mediocre at many.
I hear lots of consumers complaining
about tech and customer service support
at both the manufacturer and jobber
levels. Consumers have less disposable
cash and are more careful where they
spend it; therefore, good tech and cus-
tomer support are often the deciding
factors in what and where to buy. We
also need to be concerned about the
exodus of youth from our industry. An
overwhelming number of products and
services are competing for their atten-
tion. It has been common practice in our
hobby for the older generation to look
down on and ignore younger hobbyists.
We need to embrace them. Encourage
them. Get them involved. As the aver-
age age of our older customers increases,
they will die off and not be replaced by
younger enthusiasts.

There have never been
so many high-quality
hard parts at such
affordable pricing. The
quality and the horse-
power you can make
with aftermarket parts
today are much higher than they were 10
years ago. You can get great cylinder heads
today that make more power than the
expensive ported heads of just a few years
back. Additionally, every manufacturer’s
quality and speed to market have increased
as CNC equipment and rapid prototyping
has become the norm and people demand
products that fit and perform as promised.
The availability of information on the
Internet means that any perceived qual-
ity or performance issues with a product
are known in a very short period of time.
This information sharing among street
enthusiasts means that they gravitate to
the best products and the manufacturers
that have done their homework. Likewise,
retailers need to know and understand the
marketplace. There are many fragmented
pockets of potential business out there for
small-business owners, but they need to
become students of the marketplace and
its trends. You have to get the customer
what he wants when he wants it. That cre-
ates some changes in traditional thinking.
Put the end user first, and your business
will prosper.

The Internet has
empowered consum-
ers to become experts
on product choices. In
performance brakes,
the spillover of reliable
mega horsepower into
street-driven cars is having a very positive
effect for brake system sales, and while late-
model truck and SUV modifications con-
tinue to be slow, higher-quality classic truck
builds have grown. There has also been
a proliferation of small, special-interest
sanctioning bodies in racing. Durability
and serviceability have become much more
heavily weighted than initial acquisition
price. The successful retailers of high-
end product are those that don’t under-
sell their customers, but really make
certain to understand how they will use
the products. In our case, selling perfor-
mance brakes, a real cost to the racer over
time, is the availability and serviceability of
the product they select, what will provide
them the longest service life as well as the
best choices and access to service parts,
such as friction material. Knowing how
competitive manufacturers’ products actu-
ally fit and function (or don’t) as well as
which companies provide the highest level
of technical and customer service support
are things we encourage retailers to stress.

The continued devel-
opment of LS- and
late-model-based per-
formance equipment
and the rapid growth of
what started out as the
“rat rod” market has
developed a whole new generation of do-
it-yourself hot rodders. In addition to the
late-model Camaro, Mustang and Chal-
lenger enthusiasts, there is also this retro-
rod movement that is looking to build cars
and recreate the lifestyle of the ’50s and
’60s. We went through a generation of
people who would take their vehicles to a
shop if they wanted a turbo or an exhaust
fitted. These new people, who are in their
late teens to early 30s, are more like the
earlier generation, where we worked on the
cars ourselves. There are now even a couple
of magazines dedicated to the movement,
including Hot Rod Deluxe and Car Kulture Deluxe. We have also seen very positive
growth in the nostalgia racing market
and the late-model circle track racing
market. A more troubling development
is the ever-decreasing market share for the
three-step distribution process. It’s a very
real challenge for the entire industry, and so
is the continued pressure of overseas manu-
facturing and importation of parts on local
jobs and our industry’s economic sector.

Late-model perfor-
mance continues to be
strong, especially with
the new 5.0L platform
in the Mustangs. New
products are show-
ing up almost daily for
these cars, just as they did for the old
Fox-body 5.0L. The LS engine platform
continues to grow from street rods and is
gaining acceptance in some forms of racing
as well. The interesting thing is that most
Ford enthusiasts stick with the factory
EFI and modify the engine and program
together. The LS family is also used with
factory EFI, yet there are many applica-
tions where a carburetor is used! Bolt-on
products are required due to the influx of
late-model performance. Items that can
be added without modifying any wiring
or other parts of the car are welcomed
by enthusiasts who either don’t want to
modify their cars too much or are in the
do-it-for-me group. Technology and com-
puters are being accepted more and more
by racers. That said, retailers need to be
up-to-speed on products that require PC
programming or a handheld controller.
Being able to support and work with
customers builds loyalty and will keep
them coming back rather than searching
the web to save a couple dollars.

The new generation
of high-horsepower
musclecars, such as
the Camaro, Mustang
and Challenger, have
reawakened American
car enthusiasts. The
Detroit manufacturers have also been
working on a lot of changes to their truck
lineups, adding newer, more powerful
and more efficient engines, greater load-
handling ability and more advanced elec-
tronics and engine controls. But the con-
centration with all of these vehicles is on
enhancing performance without negatively
affecting the economy, longevity or service-
ability. The challenge for aftermarket
companies is to create parts that truly
add performance and power to these
advanced powerplants and won’t “crash”
their engine-management systems. We’re
also going to see more mobile-electronics
interfacing and that is something we all
need to learn to work with and capitalize
on. Retailers must embrace information to
help them sell the right parts and reinforce
their customers’ buying decision. Retailers
need to bone up on their tech and product
knowledge and hire salespeople who know
the products, cars, customers and pitfalls.
Every customer is “golden.” Do what is
right. Be professional. Learn, advance and
grow so that you can continue to take care
of your customer’s needs in parts, service
and information for years to come.

The economy has
changed how businesses
operate. I find more
businesses are doing
more with less and have
measured the results
of their spending and
return on investment. If the numbers don’t
make sense, a project is no longer supported
by the company. Many companies are
also approaching sales with a whole new
level of service and relationship building.
Retailers should embrace the changes in
the industry but guard against assuming
the customer is only interested in price. I
believe the consumer will have information
overload at a certain point. That is when a
competent salesperson can really shine and
make the sale. The accuracy of a manufac-
turer’s data will continue to be an issue for
the manufacturer and each part of the selling
channel. Without accurate data, a new sales-
man (even using a computer database) will
not be able to keep up with the changes in
our industry. Traditional mediums of print
magazines and catalogs are only one way
to reach the consumer. Recognizing that a
larger number of consumers only search for
parts in an electronic fashion should illus-
trate how important accurate manufacturer
data has become.
