AAPEX Attendees To Compete In Virtual Vehicle Challenge

AAPEX Attendees To Compete In Virtual Vehicle Challenge

Attendees are invited to virtually install parts on a vehicle and compete for the best time during the Virtual Vehicle Challenge.

In a friendly competition at AAPEX 2019, attendees are invited to virtually install parts on a vehicle and compete for the best time during the Virtual Vehicle Challenge. Daily winners with the fastest time will receive free AAPEX 2020 registration and housing for up to four nights. AAPEX represents the $1 trillion global automotive aftermarket industry and will take place Tuesday, Nov. 5 through Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas.

New this year to add to the fun and excitement, cars will race on the Virtual Vehicle Track with bends and turns similar to a Formula 1 track. Players will first make their cars in the virtual reality garage. Cars then will be added to the Virtual Vehicle Track with four cars racing at the same time.

The Virtual Vehicle Challenge is included in AAPEX registration and is sponsored by the Auto Care Association, Clarios, NGK/NTK, Phillips 66, Spectra Premium, Temel Gaskets and ZF Aftermarket. It will be located in the Sands Expo main lobby on Level 2.

Winners of last year’s challenge were Lot Burdick, Burdick’s Auto Solutions, McKinney, Texas; Pete Peters, Pembina Valley Auto, Winkler, Manitoba, Canada; and Anthony Williams, Advance Auto, Raleigh, North Carolina.

Do you speak spark plug? Most part numbers are a meaningless series of numbers and letters. But spark plugs have a language on the side of the box that can tell you what’s inside. Like any other language, there are dialects.

The nomenclature of spark plug part numbers can tell you everything from size (diameter and reach) to what materials are on the center and ground electrode. Like learning a new language, knowing how to translate spark plug numbers can open up a new way to inventory and sell spark plugs for counter professionals.
