Ace Auto/International Speedway is soon to be just a memory. After
fighting the evil landlady off, and holding the line for well over a
year, she finally won on a technicality. After surviving 25 years of
crushing cars, disemboweling computers, racing power tools, thrashing,
bashing, moshing, paying the rent on time (25 years = nearly 1 Million
dollars paid in rent), collecting junk, giving junk away,
cross-dressing, jet engine revving, bicycle stunts, stupid pet tricks,
bad beer, good whiskey, bad jokes, worse pranks, and all the other
marvelous activities that we've grown to expect while hanging with the
Junkman, Ace is to be no more.
Ace Auto is Dead! Long Live Ace!
We will celebrate this most important man and place exclusively with
artists who have graced ACE:
MCs Dr. Hal Robins & Mr. John Hell
Attaboy and Burke
Extra Action Marching Band
The Turks
Hammer Horror Classics
Mark Growden
Marisa Lenhardt
Esmerelda Strange
plus DJ Stradivarious Rex, aka our own zombie lover Big Daddy

 R.I.P. ace junkyard
april 1st 1984-december 31 2009
It’s the end of the junkyard as we knew it
Well, it looks like the end of Ace junkyard as we know it. Our landlady is
not going to renew our lease (and no amount of consciousness-raising,
hippie-poi-ball-swinging or fire-oriented fundraisers is going to help,
sadly). Things are looking pretty damm bleak right now. It been 25 years
and the last 15 after me and most of you found each other have been
especially fabulous. While many think I am the generous one, in fact, quite
the opposite is true. I given you junk, you have taken this junk and turned
it into amazing art, exciting happenings and and ton of fun and good
memories.
Thanks to all of you, my life has become much richer. This a
richness no amount of money could ever buy, because of all of you and what
you create from the junk I give away. Here my heart, mind and soul is
filled with wealth from the friends I have found, and the parties and
events here.
This past Saturday, night someone said to me “For every door that closes,
another one opens.” So let’s hope our next adventure is even more
memorable, after all, it’s just the place that’s closing, you and me all
still here.
One more thing: over the years, you guys have helped me get rid
of so much junk, now I need to ask one last favor of all of you. I’d like
you to send me pictures, video, stories, etc about this place.
Show and
tell me about the art or project that we helped you with. It been a hell of
ride, thanks to all of you for the love and aloha you have given me.
