Cars & Caffeine Kickoff Event A Huge Success

This year’s first Cars and Caffeine was definitely supercharged. The perfect spring day brought out over 100 of the best looking high caliber cars to the series opener. Multiple Fisker Karma’s, McLaren MP4′s and a Bugatti Veyron topped the list of exciting cars to be seen at the event.

San Jose State University’s Formula SAE program brought their school race car and operated the “The Laguna Seca Simulator Challenge”. All proceeds went to support their race car program. We thank our sponsor, Borelli Motorsports for sponsoring the tasty BBQ lunch. They also demonstrated their diesel powered auto body steam cleaner showing how it can clean a car without regular water.

The Dietsch Werks chassis dyno by Superflow was open for inspection. Many of the Club Auto Sport businesses were open and saw a lot of traffic come into their shops. Our thanks to McLaren San Francisco for bringing their cars and some of their customers with their cars.

Next month, we will be featuring Corvettes in addition to more of those great cars from in and around Silicon Valley.

SuperFlow Technologies Group became the newest Marketing Partner at Club Auto Sport for 2012 with the alliance of a perfect match.

The recent expansion of Dietsch Werks, the largest tenant within the Club Auto Sport facility, makes it one of the few Northern California sites equipped to operate and test with the most accurate chassis dynamometer available-SuperFlow’s AutoDyn 30 AWD
The AutoDyn 30 AWD features SuperFlow’s advanced Road Simulation Technology (RST) which mechanically synchronizes the front and rear roll speeds via precise, race-inspired differentials and a steel drive shaft that connects the front and rear rollers.

The end result is a highly accurate road simulation system that makes tuning all types of vehicles accurate and fast.

March 2012 Event Center Reviews

Almaden Country School Revs it Up! With Their Annual Dinner Auction

March 10th marked The Annual Dinner Auction for Almaden County School.  A yearly highlight that brought 275 parents, teachers, alumni and friends of the school together for a lively community event to raise funds for specifically targeted educational programs, technology and campus improvements.

The entertainment super-charged the atmosphere with a vibrant performance by the school choir who “sang” the live auction portion of the event with a parody of the movie “Sister Act” followed by a gospel funk performance by the parents who raised the roof  and fueled the excitement that had everyone grooving to the music!

ACS is a community where children are safe, immersed in a joyful learning environment and surrounded by peers who believe excelling is the norm.

At the conclusion of the event, the head of the school, Dr. Olaf Jorgenson, told Club Auto Sport Hospitality and Event Planning Manager, Brian Hames that the event ‘was the most successful they had in a while and raised more money than in the last 10 years’.
