The Midwest Racers’ Expo has found a new home for the Friday January 2 and Saturday January 3 event which helps to ring in the 2015 year and race season. Delavan, WI will now play host to the annual event which features a gigantic two day auction, numerous trade show participants as well as traditional series and track meetings held throughout the Expo. The racing community is invited to attend this ‘Can’t Miss’ event, now being held at the former Stock Building Supply location at 1849 Hobbs Drive in Delavan, WI located just off I-43 at Exit 21.
“We have been serving the racing industry for over thirty years and we look forward to continuing to do that. Our original sight became unavailable as we went to print with our brochure and we quickly sought a new home. With acres of free parking and an easy to get to, centrally located location for our Wisconsin and Illinois customers, this will be the perfect spot for everyone to catch up during the off-season.” Commented Expo Manager Gregg McKarns. “There has been a lot of interest from consignors, bidders and trade show registrants alike. We got back to our roots last year and had one of our best shows in over a decade and this one is shaping up to be even better.”
Those wishing to consign items for sale are encouraged to contact McKarns at 815-703-0285 or via email at racersauction@yahoo.com. Trade Show registrants can call 608-786-1525 or email midwestracersauction@yahoo.com to speak directly with Expo Director Dave Noelke. Consignments will be accepted on Wednesday December 31 from 4pm until 9pm and again on New Year’s Day Thursday from 11am until 7pm.
