OVERHAUL THIS. Mark Oja is not only an automotive mastermind, but he has an unwavering spirit that caught our eye. As the Swisstrax team has gotten to know him, it is easy to say he has left a lasting impression, like many of the Hot Rods he’s helped overhaul. Swisstrax recently floored Oja’s newest shop, California Speed & Custom in SoCal with an eye-catching modular hardwood tile, also know as Reclaimed Pine Vinyltrax®. You might know Oja best for his past appearances as a key member of the “A-Team” on Velocity’s Overhaulin’ but we can guarantee he hasn’t stopped there. Swing by the SEMA Swisstrax booth #21201 to see what his future holds, snap a photo, grab an autograph, ask him some questions and maybe get some answers. He will be hanging out Tuesday from 2:00 - 4:00 pm and Thursday from 10:00 am -12:00 pm, so why not meet him for yourself? If you feel up to it, ask about the newest flooring addition to his shop.
