All sellers will set up in the parking lot across the street from the speedway. The times are from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Any racing related items may be sold new or used from go karts/quarter midgets to full-size racecars and everything in between. This will give teas a chance to raise money by getting rid of equipment not needed and give other teams a chance to search for those items needed to stay on the track in 2010. Cars, engines, parts and trailers may be available.
For those who will be attending to sell, we can advertise your items if you send an email to sspracing@hotmail.com listing the items. The listing will be included in a email release on Monday.
