Following this past October’s ACPA strategic planning session held in conjunction with the fall board meeting, attendees competed in the first ever “ACPA Pumper 500” go-kart race at K1 Racing Center in Torrance, California.
Over 50 racers competed for the best time overall, as well participated as a team competition sponsored by NBIS Insurance; DY Concrete Pumps; Putzmeister America; Longhorn Line Pumps and the ACPA. Entry fees for the team-building event were contributed to the association’s political action fund, ACPA PumpPAC, raising over $3,000.
Danny Andrews of Andrews Concrete Pumping won best time overall and received $200 in prize money. Team ACPA took first place in the team competition, followed by Longhorn Line Pumps and NBIS Insurance. Each member of winning team ACPA received $100, along with bragging rights for the next event.
Due to the tremendous success of this year’s race, plans are already underway for another ACPA Pumper 500 to be held at a future ACPA event.
