OAKS, PA January 23, 2011 . . . Another Motorsports show is in the history books.

Thousands of people filled the aisles of the 26th edition of the Motorsports 2011 Presented by SEF Race Car and Trade Show at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA this past weekend.

Many well known local and regional racers were in attendance mixing with fans and participating in autograph sessions.

“It was great to see the support given the show. We were very pleased with the fan turnout,” said show organizer Len Sammons. “Many vendors reported that they had a lot of traffic at their booths generating a large number of sales. Some have already requested their display space for the next show. All of us involved with the show were happy to see so much interest. We are all anxious to get started on plans for the 27th annual show.”
