: We
really want to thank all the Modified folks that attended, and vended! We went
from usually having a Modified or two, to 2 and 1/2 rows of them!!! It was
great to see, and seemed to be received well! Bob and Angie Pierce (sponsors
of the "Row") told us they were "thrilled" with the result!! We really hope
this will now start a trend of growth that will see the Modifieds become even
a bigger part of the show!! Thanks again! We would like to thank everyone who attended the Hoosier Racers Swap Meet & Trade Show 8 in Indianapolis! Thanks to you, the show was the biggest yet, as attendance once again grew significantly!
When we first started this eight years ago, we had no idea doing a show such as this, that it would be received so well!! Again, thank you! With that said, we are always trying to improve the show, and maintain a steady growth. We are always open to suggestions, and have received, and followed, many through the years. One constant suggestion has been to extend the show, which through a positive vote from our vendors, we are going to try next year!
So in 2009, we will be doing a short "Show Preview" from 5pm-8pm on Friday January 30, 2009, before the doors swing open Saturday morning January 31st! Now with this, we will start now by letting everyone know that not all Vendors will be in the building yet. Many have to work or travel. This will be what it's billed, a "Preview"! Many Trade Show Vendors will be in place with show specials, along with some Swap Meet Vendors ready to deal!
At 8pm sharp on Friday, the doors will close to the public so that we may have a small "get together" for our vendors! Then on Saturday, IT'S SHOWTIME!!
To reflect this change, and growth of the show, we will also be changing our name! Like we mentioned, when we started, and named this show eight years ago, we didn't envision it's rapid rise form nothing! So starting next year, the new name of the show will be the:
INDY CIRCLE TRACK EXPO
This was the winning name, by a vote from our vendors, over 3 other possible names! We want to emphasize that NOTHING but the name, and the hours are changing. We promise that the heart & soul of this show will never change, no matter how big it may get. Thanks for your continued support and we'll see you next year!
