HICKORY, NC – A new trade show will adorn the off-season schedule for 2012 as the Carolina Auto Racing Show (CARS) will make its debut January 13-14 at the Hickory Metro Convention Center in Hickory, North Carolina.
CARS will allow vendors to showcase and sell new product and allow racers to gather in one central place to network, shop and see all the latest in speed trends for short track racing.
“There has been a need for a show for not only the professional racer but the weekly guy that supports his local short track,” said CARS Director Jimmy Schiltz. “We chose Hickory, NC to host the event for several reasons. The first being proximity. Hickory is in the heart of racing country and lies within 80 miles of Charlotte, Ashville and Winston Salem. The Hickory Metro Convention Center is also located adjacent to Interstate 40 with many hotels, restaurants and other attractions close by. The facility itself is an upscale convention center that is was built in 1997,” added Schiltz.
There will be seminars, awards banquets, conferences, rules meetings and other special events being held throughout the weekend as part of the CARS Show. With over 75 dirt and asphalt race tracks within a 200 mile radius of Hickory, NC, area racers will be able to commute without the added expense of hotels etc.
“The feedback so far has been amazing,” said CARS Promoter Clint Elkins. “We have contacted numerous industry representatives and everyone’s sentiments have been very positive.”
There will be a one day and two day pass available and more information concerning the show will be released in the coming weeks.
“We have a great staff and we are hard at work in making the show a huge success,” said Schiltz. “Our team consists of not only industry representatives but racers themselves who know the challenges and expenses of racing. We have pooled our knowledge together to make sure CARS will be a huge success for all involved.
