Hanover PA. The Harrisburg Farm Show Complex will host the 32nd annual Motorama Races & Shows on February 20th & 21st. Spectator doors will open on this mid winter extravaganza Saturday from 9AM to 10PM and Sunday from 9AM to 5 PM. This is the time for all motorheads to get a jump on the Spring racing season. Motorama combines 2 huge indoor shows with the excitement of live racing, all in the heated 24 - acre complex.
The main hall at the south end of the complex is home to the Speed Show. Stroll down the isles to see over 350 race and show vehicle related vendors,collectables and simulators. Vote for your favorite vehicle by supporting our charity, the Spina BiFida Association. With the support of Motorama fans and the voting public, over $220,000 has been raised for families in Central Pennsylvania. On the show stage will be a charity auction, musical entertainment and the ever-popular Ms Motorama Pageant. Ms Motorama 2009, _Jessica Jordan from Boonsboro, Md. will hand over her crown Sunday between 11AM and 1:30 PM.
The new Expo Hall at the North end has expanded to include the new Rod & Custom car show along with the Tunerwar Sport Compact and Bike Show. This will be the largest two-day show of its kind on the East Coast, with over 300 vehicles on display. There will be "live" entertainment on stage both days along with stunts by the Free Cycle Action Sports Team.
As always, the indoor racing provides the adrenaline for the 30,000 Motorama fans. The must see spectacle is the two days of high flying arenacross action in the 8000 seat Large Arena. Some of the best motorcross and ATV riders in the northeast will battle, handle bar to handle bar, while trying to tame the dirt jumps. New to the Arenacross track this year will be Remote Control 1/5 scale Baja trucks & buggies brought to you by Hostile Hobby.
Remote control competition will be a big part of Motorama 2010. Don't let their size fool you, these nitro burning 1/8 scale buggies, truggies, and monster trucks, run like the big boys without the driver. They are radio controlled from a 10-foot driver's stand and refueled during the race by a one-man pit crew. All the action takes place in the 1200 seat Equine Arena and sponsored by TQ Fuels.
The West hall will be home to the newest forms of Electric Remote Control Racing. There will be two tracks, one for 1/10 scale Remote Control racing on the short course brought to you by Harrisburg's own Hidden Hanger and a Rockcrawling competition on a purpose built layout of rock & dirt for three rockcrawling divisions run by Western Pennsylvania Rockcrawlers Association and is an Official qualifying event for the Nationals.
Destruction is the attraction in the Small Arena. This is Robot Conflict territory and run by the Northeast Robotics Club. All the robots are entered in a bracket according to their weight. Two bots enter a Plexiglas enclosed arena and battle for 3 minutes. The winner goes to the next round.
If it's oval racing you like, you have two options. In the Northeast Building there will be over 200 go karts competing on the 1/10th mile concrete oval. Racing is intense with 6-second lap times. The kids are the main attraction in the Quarter Midget Races in the Northwest Building. See boys and girls from ages 5 to 14 years of age test their skills on the concrete oval. These kids are serious about their racing and are the future stars of the sport. There are over 230 midgets registered.
The 2010 edition of Motorama is the largest event of it's kind in the northeast and is a sure cure for cabin fever. As always, all seats are general admission and all scheduled activities are included.
