Hoosier Racers Swap Meet & Trade Show 7
It's grown even bigger, it's grown even cooler, it's grown into a tradition, and it's back... The Hoosier Racers Swap Meet & Trade Show 7, January 27, 2007 @ the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, IN!
The Big: When the final entries arrived, over 350 booth spaces became occupied! Making the Hoosier Racers Swap Meet & Trade Show, the absolute biggest show of its kind in the entire Midwest!! Vendors from 10 States, and as far away as Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, make this the 2nd "DON'T MISS" event of the year (Chili Bowl was first :)!! This Swap Meet/Trade Show will bring together local racers, professional racers, racing business's (manufacturers & dealers), race tracks, and sanctioning bodies all under 1 massive roof! The 67,000 Sq. ft. Champions Pavilion sold-out by early-January, leaving promoters to add an outdoor Car Corral in order to accommodate the demand! The outdoor Car Corral will be right in front of the building, giving racers a great location to unload and try an sell their racers!! Only 26 of these spaces are available, and there is a place to move to, in case of really inclement weather. Vendors for the Car Corral will be welcome (in true swap meet fashion)... WITHOUT A RESERVATION!!!
The Cool: Roundtables have become a very popular off season attraction, and the Hoosier Racers Swap Meet & Trade Show 7 does not disappoint. This panel has Indy 500 experience galore, countless Championships, records, and wins!!! It also has an awesome memory!! Almost never has the public had access to this stellar of line-up at one time! That's right, you will be able to ask the questions, and get the secrets of these big-time winners: Gary Bettenhausen, Mel Kenyon, Larry Rice, Greg Staab, Kevin Thomas, Legendary builder & mechanic A.J. Watson, and Butch Wilkerson *!! Oh, and who could "forget" 2 of the greatest memories in racing, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Historian Donald Davidson, and Sprint Car Racing's very own "Sleaze", Kevin Eckert!! This amazing panel will have plenty of stories to share, and should make for quite a memorable time! Plus, this is such a big event, you just never know who might stop by?!? Moderated by D.O. Laycock and Bullring K.O. don't miss your opportunity to be a part of the Racin' W/D.O. Legends Round Table, presented by Hoosier Auto Racing Fans (H.A.R.F.).
Plan to make a day of it because were not done yet!! After the Roundtable will be two brand new attractions this year:
Indy Race Parts Presents: The Ms. Hoosier Motorsports Pageant where 50% of the vote will come from you the audience! Yes, were going to put them up on stage, and yes they will be wearing swimsuits. But! You will also have an opportunity meet these lovely ladies throughout the day! They will be spread out through the building working in sponsor/vendor's booths from approx. 10am-12noon. Every patron that walks through the door will receive a token, and it is up to these ladies to earn these tokens as part of the Audience Participation Vote (A.P.V.)! The winner of the A.P.V. will receive $100 from Leader's Edge. The overall winner of the pageant will receive a cool $500 plus two paid appearances next summer (1 each) @ Gas City I-69 Speedway and Kokomo Speedway!
You still won't want to leave because following the pageant will be the Last Ditch Auction** presented by www.charterthecaribbean.com ! Our Legend Table guest Butch Wilkerson's day isn't finished because he is also an auctioneer (Auction License # AU01034606)! Vendors will be able to "unload" any last remaining items that they don't want to take home in this auction. This will be a NO RESERVE, "Someone's gotta give me somethin' for it" kind of deal. You never know what kind of deal you could find here, in fact, nobody knows what maybe even be in the auction until later in the day?? It just might be that part that you couldn't make-up your mind on?? It should be exciting nonetheless! Join us, it's gonna be COOL!
Just added: Micro Sprint Roundtable with many area tracks in attendance!!!
The Tradition: Indy finally has a Swap Meet/Trade Show BIG enough for "The Racing Capital of the World"!! After moving from our Kokomo, IN location last year, right into the heart of it all here in INDY, this show has turned into an annual date on many folks calendar!!! The Hoosier Racers Swap Meet & Trade Show has continued to expand, and we're thrilled the show is in the place it belonged all along! The Indiana State Fairgrounds will continue to be our home, and they continue to help us as we expand! The central location has proved to be a big hit with vendors, and patrons alike. Be sure you join us in the Champions Pavilion for all the "wheelin', dealin', good times!!
