On Saturday January 13th, Bicknell Racing Products held its Annual Open House at their location in St. Catharines Ontario Canada and despite the weather outside, customers and staff had a great day indoors.
“
There’s a lot of preparation for this day,” explained Bob Slack, part of the ownership team at Bicknell Racing Products. “It takes almost a whole day of setting up, cleaning and making sure the grounds are ready to welcome all of our customers.”
This year was a new challenge as Mother Nature dumped a foot or more of snow in some areas around N.Y. state. Then parts of highway 401 were closed due to weather and a major accident, preventing customers from the northern parts of Ontario and Quebec from making the trek to St. Catharines.
“It’s a shame the weather didn’t cooperate but we hope that many of those customers were able to take advantage of the great deals our retail store locations had, either by web or phone on both sides of the border.”
All customers that were in attendance were able to put their name in for many door prize drawings that were taking place. Everyone at Bicknell would like to congratulate the following winners:
BRIAN FISH – 2018 BICKNELL CHASSIS
ROB MISENER – SET OF DRIVE FLANGES
ALAN BRATEK – SHOCK MOUNTS
CHAS WOLBERT – SCRIBNER FUEL JUG

Bicknell Racing Products would like to especially thank Dave Ely from DMI rear ends who graciously took time out of his busy schedule and braved the weather to be at the open house and putting on a great seminar as part of the morning session. Also a huge thank you to everyone who was part of the open panel discussion in the afternoon (Ryan Susice, Brad Rouse, Mike Payne, Matt Sheppard, Randy Kisacky, Mat Williamson, Bob Slack, Randy Williamson, Ted Curvin). Special thanks to Rich Matthie from Champion Oil, Danny Johnson from Traction Grabber and Charlie King from Speed Composites for their generous donations. Bicknell Racing Products would also like to thank Tracey and the staff at the Husky Travel Centre in Niagara on the Lake for helping with the luncheon. The day would not have been possible without all of these amazing people.
Last but certainly not least, Bicknell Racing Products would like to thank everyone who attended the open house and made the day such a success.
“We have great customers, many of them we have gotten to know well over the years,” added Slack. “It’s amazing to see their loyalty to our brand and their dedication to the sport. We couldn’t ask for a better group of people.”
Bicknell Racing Products will be heading to the Motorsports Racecar and Trade Show this coming weekend (January 19 -21) at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania. The staff is looking forward to seeing many more customers at the show.
