A special training event and trade show for all collision technicians, mechanics, painters, body shop managers and insurers will be held May 20 at the Arlington Convention Center. 

Two new I-CAR classes will be offered. The first, Electric Hybrid Vehicles, will be describing systems and operations, and analyzing collision damage to electric hybrid vehicles, including safety issues. 

The second, 2004 Ford F150 Collision Overview, is a specialty program for replacing and aligning exterior panels, understanding mechanical and restraint systems and making frame repairs.

Texas Motor Speedway will have a NASCAR vehicle on display. Drawings will be held for a free Team Texas Driving School voucher, TMS race tickets and attendees can test their driving skills on the interactive racing "pit box." Vendors will have many prizes, equipment and vehicles for viewing.
