New Dates Set for Motorsports 2008 & Gambler's Classic

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ March 5, 2007 . . . The 23rd edition of the popular mid-winter motorsports extravaganza, Motorsports 2008 presented by VP Racing Fuels, is set to return to Atlantic City’s plush Convention Center and the Gambler’s Classic Indoor Auto Racing events will return to the Boardwalk Hall conveniently located just a few blocks away.
 Len Sammons, producer of the two highly successful events, has announced new dates for the show and indoor races, January 18-20th. In fact dates have been set for the next three years with the 2009 show scheduled for January 17-19th followed by January 16-18th for the 2010 events.
 “We really feel that being able to move the show one week later is a big plus,” said Sammons. “The new dates will keep us from competing with the National Football League on Saturday night and it is good for racers since the dates will not conflict with the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Oklahoma.”
 Again in 2008 the Motorsports Race Car Show will fill 300,000 square feet of the Convention Center. Race enthusiasts will again be able to enjoy the Motorsports show by day and the auto racing events during the evening.
 Indoor auto racing featuring the Three Quarter Midgets/600cc Micro Sprints will be the attraction at the Boardwalk Hall on January 18th and 19th.
 “The indoor races in January were the most successful in the five year history of the events,” said Sammons. “And we were really excited about our first time efforts with the Motorsports show at the Convention Center. The show earned rave reviews from both vendors and attendees.”
 Plans are being made to introduce some reduced price hotel room packages that will include transportation to the show and races.
 Additional details regarding Motorsports 2008 and the Gambler’s Classic indoor auto racing events will be announced as they are finalized.
 Information on exhibit rates, reserving show space and more will be available very shortly. Additional details are available by contacting show manager Joe Pratt at 609.888.3618
