BRAKELIGHT: BFE Sponsors Soapbox Derby

By Andrew Markel

brakelights-may-2014-1In the summer of 2013, Brake & Front End sponsored a soapbox derby car for the National Super Kids Classic. Held in conjunction with the All American Soapbox Derby, the National Super Kids Classic is for disabled children to race at one of the most iconic American sporting events. Sponsoring a racecar or sports team can be a great way to get the word out about your shop because it shows that you are a part of the community. Sponsoring an event can be good for publicity. The morning after the race, the local paper had the Brake & Front End car on the front page.

Many transmission filters require a seal at the point where they assemble into the transmission. Most of these seals are called “lip seals,” although some filters may use an O-ring.
