WyoTech instructor Bryan Steinbock earned the 2013 Dream Maker of the Year award, which honors instructors who go above and beyond to deliver ideal education in the classroom, as well as through community events and training to help students achieve career goals.
 
  

Bryan Steinbock, an instructor at WyoTech in Laramie, Wyoming, has earned the 2013 Dream Maker of the Year award. Presented by WyoTech’s parent company, Corinthian Colleges Inc., the Dream Maker of the Year award recognizes instructors who go above and beyond to deliver the best education in the classroom, get students involved on campus and in the community, and help students get the training they need to achieve career goals. After a successful career as a welder where his work required a high level of skill and precision for projects such as NASA’s Hubble telescope, Steinbock chose a teaching career because he wanted to influence the success of others. While Steinbock’s technical skills and the mastery of his craft are superior, it’s his ability to inspire students who previously were struggling that sets him apart. His motivational attitude teaches his students to strive for success and pursue excellence. He spends extra hours outside of the classroom working with students and continues his support after graduation, volunteering his expertise to former students who are working or competing in motorsports.

LUCAS TO STEP AWAY FROM DRIVING IN 2014; CRAMPTON WILL FILL LUCAS OIL DRAGSTER SEAT: Morgan Lucas, who has nine career Top Fuel wins, will step out of the cockpit in the 2014 season to concentrate on his family-owned Lucas Oil Products company. Taking over driving duties will be Richie Crampton, who hails from Adelaide, South Australia, and recently earned his Top Fuel license during a test session at Lucas Oil Raceway. Lucas will race in select events in 2014 but won't campaign the full season.

"I have been blessed to make a career out of driving a Top Fuel dragster thanks to amazing partners like GEICO and Lucas Oil," Lucas said. "It's been an honor. But after some serious thought, I feel it's time for me to get out of the driver's seat for a while and get more involved in the family business. My mother and father have worked incredibly hard to build Lucas Oil, and this is the best decision for my family's future."

Crampton began racing at 16, has served as a driving instructor and also has a license in Super Comp and Top Alcohol. "This is certainly a dream come true," Crampton said. "In this day and age, it's not very often you have crew guys getting a chance to move up and drive the car. I'm honored that Morgan and Aaron (Brooks, crew chief) think enough of me to give me this chance. I'm blown away that I'll have GEICO, Lucas Oil and Toyota on my side. As I said, this is something I've been dreaming about since I was a boy, and now it's happening."

LINE UNHURT IN CRASH DURING TEST SESSION: Two-time Pro Stock world champion Jason Line was unhurt during a closed test session at Rockingham Dragway Thursday. The car went out of control just past half-track, made contact with the right guard wall and barrel-rolled several times before coming to a stop. Line will be forced to race a different car when the series returns at the NHRA Toyota Nationals in Las Vegas.

"You can either cry about it or you can move on," Line said. "Obvisously we've got some pretty tough folks that work for us, and we're just going to move on. We'll make the best of it, and maybe something good will come of it, it's just a matter whether it does this week or next week or maybe six months from now. I can tell you I learned a lot from that incident, and unfortunately it cost a lot of money to learn that, but again it is what it is, and you have to somehow turn it into a positive thing."

Some days some of these guys really make it look easy and some days it looks a little bit harder. Really just hats off to my guys there and we are trying real hard. Everybody is focused and that shows how bad we want to do well out there."

Participants in the program take a brief survey about their business operations, which is aggregated with other companies monthly to create three unique reports focused on the manufacturer, distributor and retailer businesses. Everyone who completes the survey is sent all three reports, free of charge. Otherwise, each report costs $50 to SEMA members ($99.99 to non-members) and is made available after a 30-day delay.

For the Financial Benchmarking program to remain successful, SEMA needs active participation from companies such as yours. Your input allows us to provide summarized industry data on YTD sales, growth outlook, quick ratio/cash on hand, operational overhead and other key business metrics.

To allow more companies to experience the value of the Financial Benchmarking program, the July 2013 reports are available free to SEMA members for a limited time only.

This is just a glimpse of what you can discover. Download your free copies of the July 2013 Financial Benchmarking Reports.

To find out how to participate in the SEMA Financial Benchmarking program and continue getting free access to future reports, please e-mail research@sema.org.

SEMA Show, Project Vehicles
Exhibitors looking to get their products on more display vehicles at the 2013 SEMA Show are invited to participate in the Products for Project-Vehicle Builders List.
By Jason Catullo

Exhibitors of the 2013 SEMA Show have the opportunity to expand their reach at the Show by offering products to builders through the Products for Project-Vehicle Builders List. Builders continuously look for the key pieces and products to add visual spice to their builds. The list helps connect manufacturers looking for extra product exposure with the pros that create trendsetting vehicles that capture the imaginations of media and buyers from around the world.

This type of product-placement opportunity is so valuable that manufacturers often offer builders products for free or at greatly reduced rates. The intention of the list is to make builders aware of potential products available. All product-placement decisions and negotiations are the responsibility of the manufacturers and the builders. Participation in the list does not guarantee product placement at the 2013 SEMA Show.

To participate in the list, access the Products for Project-Vehicle Builders form.

The latest additions to the list will be included each week in SEMA eNews, when available. The list is open to exhibitors of the 2013 SEMA Show only and is intended to build awareness for SEMA Show exhibitors and their products.

For questions or additional information, contact Jason Catullo at jasonc@sema.org or call 909-978-6713.
