MOTORSPORTS 2010 HEADS BACK TO ITS ROOTS
Gambler’s Classic Indoor Race Returning To Atlantic City
OAKS, PA - March 16, 2009
. . . Motorsports 2010, the largest race car and trade show of its
type in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region, will leave Atlantic
City, N.J., and take place at the new Greater Philadelphia Expo Center
in Oaks, Pa. next year.
Show organizer Len Sammons has
announced that the 25th anniversary edition of the show, filling all
220,000 square feet of the Expo Center, will open on Friday, January 22
and continue through Sunday, January 24, 2010. The event, having
attracted many of the major names in the sport over the years will once
again offer just about everything imaginable in motorsports.
Importantly, the Len Sammons Motorsports-produced Gambler’s Classic
Indoor Auto racing events will continue to take place at Atlantic
City’s Boardwalk Hall. Those very popular races, featuring the Three-
Quarter (TQ) Midgets, will now follow the Motorsports show on the
calendar. The races will now be held one week later, on Friday and
Saturday nights, January 29 and 30, 2010.
The new Expo
Center in Oaks has gained rave reviews from show operators and show
attendees since opening just a short time ago. Expo Center management
is continuing to make improvements in the facility. More than 4,000
free on-site parking spaces and increased floor space will be available
by the end of this summer, in plenty of time for Motorsports 2010.
“We are going full circle with the show,” said event organizer Len
Sammons. “When the Motorsports event was started 24 years ago, it was
located just five miles up the road from Oaks at the Valley Forge
Convention Center. The first show filled less than 50,000 square feet
of space, but soon out grew the Valley Forge location. The show then
moved to the larger Fort Washington Convention Center, also in
Pennsylvania and a short distance away, until it was closed for
business development in 2006. The Motorsports show has been held the
last three years at N.J.’s Atlantic City Convention Center.
“Now, the new building in Oaks has allowed us to return to our roots in
the Philadelphia area, just in time for our 25th anniversary event!”
The show will return to a three-day format with exact hours of
operation to be announced. Additional show information will be
announced in the near future.
“The news of the show moving
back to an area it was held for 21 years should created a lot of
excitement,” Sammons said. “The change in venue featuring a more
central location should spirit tremendous interest from exhibitors and
attendees.”
Exhibitors who participated in the 2009 show
will have the first chance to reserve their booth space location for
the 25th annual show. The deadline for renewal reservations will be May
15th. An event brochure will be in the mail in the next two weeks to
previous exhibitors. It will also be available at the event web-site,
aarn.com or by calling the show office at (609)-888-3618.
Len Sammons Productions has also confirmed that after a very successful
debut of indoor racing at the Dunkin’ Donuts Arena in Providence, R.I.,
a date is also being confirmed for a return to that venue. And, a third
Indoor Auto Racing event is being considered. Additional information on
any Len Sammons promoted events, including Motorsports 2010 and the
indoor races, are available at aarn.com, by calling 609-888-3618, or by
email at motorsports@aarn.com.
