Racing Trade Show Set for January 2009
Raleigh, NC-- The 23rd Annual Piedmont Racing Expo will feature the largest ever participation in the show’s history. At present, nearly 50 vendors are expected to occupy over ninety 10’x10’ spaces in the Expo Center at the State Fairgrounds during the two-day event on Friday and Saturday, January 16-17. The show’s promoter Phillip Walker, a veteran short track racer and an motorsports auctioneer reports that this will be the best trade show ever for racers who come from all over NC and neighboring states.
Another treat for everyone is that all ladies and children under 14 will be admitted free. “There will be something for everyone, so bring the family and the whole crew to the Expo”, advised Walker.
In addition to the trade show, the Piedmont Racing Auction will be held in conjunction with the event, which features over 1000 lots of racing parts, tools, and equipment. There will also be a "CAR CORRAL" for racecars, tow vehicles, and trailers that are not entered into the auction. (If rolling stock is entered into the auction, it must be sold with NO RESERVE!. Owners of rolling stock in the "Car Corral" can make their own deals with prospective buyers!
