When QuikStor unveiled its completely rebuilt FMS, an early user summed it up in a way no spec sheet ever could: fast and sleek as a brand-new supercar. That line stuck. It captured something real about what the team had built. Not just a software update, but a full reinvention of what a management platform could be.
QuikStor leaned into it. And now that comparison is turning into something bigger than a tagline. Introducing: Race for a Cause.
On November 4-6 at TSSA’s 2026 Big Ideas in Storage Conference and Trade Show in Austin, Texas, QuikStor and Charity Storage are bringing a real, full-size F1 car simulator to the show floor that lets attendees experience the thrill of driving laps in a real race. For $25, event-goers can take two laps with every dollar going directly to Shriners Children’s Texas.
Since 1922, the world-class hospital has provided orthopedic care, burn treatment, and specialized services to children regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Every virtual loop driven at TSSA supports that mission directly.
And the city truly fits the moment. Austin has hosted the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas since 2012, making an F1 car on the show floor feel like the perfect way to celebrate TSSA’s 40th anniversary and a chance to carry forward self-storage’s tradition of giving back to the communities it serves.
Built by operators, driven by community. At QuikStor, we believe the best returns are the ones that give back!” said VP of Growth Scott Worden. “Race for a Cause brings the TSSA community together to have fun, make a difference, and support Texas kids who need it most.
Mario Macaluso, Program Director of Charity Storage, echoed that sentiment.
“Giving back is part of how self storage does business, and Charity Storage helps turn that generosity into support for people who need it,” he said. “Whether you sponsor the race or take a few laps, you’re helping Shriners Children’s Texas provide care for children regardless of their families’ ability to pay. That’s a meaningful way to mark TSSA’s 40th anniversary.”
