DIRT TRACK HEROES CAR SHOW
 
EVENT TO OPEN SUNDAY, MARCH 2 AND RUN THROUGH MARCH 8 AT PHILLIPSBURG MALL
KIM’S KREATIONS JOINS GROWING LIST OF SPONSORS FOR 7TH ANNUAL DIRT TRACK HEROES EVENT  
 
Another important piece of the puzzle was locked into place over the past few days as the Seventh Annual IRCO Dirt Track Heroes Show quickly rolls towards it's March 2nd opening at the Phillipsburg Mall.  The hard working show staff continues to assemble a great group of sponsors together for the week long celebration of the past, present and future of auto racing.   The IRCO sponsored Dirt Track Heroes Car Show  will be ready to go when the doors of the Phillipsburg Mall swing open to welcome the return of the show on opening day set for Sunday, March 2nd.  The show encompasses the majority of the local short track scene and will continue its run through Saturday night, March 8th. The Phillipsburg Mall, located on Route 22 East in Phillipsburg, NJ, has proven to be a popular setting for this special event and will offer a multitude of race cars, racing memorabilia, collectibles and photos on display throughout the course of the show.
 
The week long show continues to be free of charge to the Mall traffic and the 2014 edition of the show will be the trend setter of the many shows that are scheduled during the year.  With an exciting and diverse schedule of events to whet the appetite of any true race fan, large crowds are expected to fill the wide walkways of the Phillipsburg Mall.
 
New to the Dirt Track Heroes event is the  inclusion of the fine folks at Kim's Kreations Lettering and Apparel located in Myerstown, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2005 by Kim and Mike Glass, Kim's Kreations offers great pricing and selections on a variety of apparel such as t-shirts, sweatshirts and flex fit hats as well as many novelty items license plates, business cards, decals and bumper stickers.  Being involved heavily within the motorsports community, Kim's Kreations takes great pride in offering vinyl lettering services for race cars, trailers and commercial projects. Offering a variety of services that are seemingly endless, it is best to check out their extensive website at: www.kimskreations2.net for all of the latest information.

The longtime broadcasting team of Ed and Steve Pados from Gasoline Alley fame, veteran announcer Bobby Stull and former Lake Mocatek co-announcer Justin Beltrame will headline the nightly interview sessions.  Greg Collins, who serves as the noted historian of the Harmony Speedway, is expected to have much of his memorabilia from the Harmony Speedway for the event and Beltrame will once again spearhead and show the vast collection of Lake Mocatek material he has collected over the years.
 
The "Golden Era" of auto racing from the late fifties through the early eighties was an era that saw many changes take place in the way the race cars were constructed. The word "stock" gave way to ingenuity at first and followed closely by technology as the race cars became less stock appearing and relied more heavily on the latest speed part that would make the race car go faster.  While the years have changed the look and the cost of racing, the spirit of the competition remains much as it was when racing in the local area was first launched.  The great fan base of racing can come out to this grand Mall event and be transported back to a time when they could hop into their family jitney and travel less than a half hour to witness the excitement of a night at the races. All historical racing groups including Reading, Flemington, Harmony, Dorney Park and Nazareth will have their memorabilia on display and their many scrapbooks open for the fans to take another long look at the glory years of racing and possibly find a picture or two they want to purchase as a keepsake from past glory or racing exploits.
 
Entries are being accepted to display in the IRCO Dirt Track Heroes Show.  More information is available by calling: 443-513-4456.  Space is available for race cars of all divisions, street rods, custom cars, vendors and race tracks as well.
 
In the previous events, cars that were on display included big and small block Modifieds, Sportsman, Micro-Sprints, ARDC Midgets, URC Sprints, TSRS Sprints, Late Models, go-karts, quarter midgets and a wide range of vintage and restored race cars. New Egypt, Grandview, Big Diamond, Bridgeport, Hamlin, Accord, Action Track USA, Borger's and Snydersville will again be among the many speedways involved with the 2014 show. The week-long event will set aside one evening to salute the "Stars of Tomorrow" with a special night set aside for the budding young racing talents competing with the many quarter midget clubs in the area and this night has proven to be one of the highlights of the week as many will be giving their first ever interviews to a sizable crowd.
 
IRCO Community Federal Credit Union remains the show sponsor and has supported the event since the it first opened in 2008. More information on IRCO is available at the company's web site at: www.ircocu.com or please contact Greg Collins via e-mail at: gcollins@ircocu.com
