Holly, MI — (January 7, 2013) — Must See Racing will have a chance to showcase their unique product to over 20,000 visitors during the 47th Annual I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama on March 15-17, 2013 in Cleveland, OH.
“If a piston makes it go, it’s in the show,” and that’s why the I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama is the largest indoor showcase of cars, bikes, trucks, and aircraft in the world boasting over 600 cars, 125 motorcycles, and 8 aircraft inside the I-X Center. No piston is left behind as the show also includes military vehicles, boats, construction and agricultural equipment, and much more. With over one million square feet of space, the I-X Center is one of the largest convention and exhibition centers in the country. Its diverse event schedule includes some of the biggest consumer shows as well as many trade shows that attract over 1.5 million visitors each year.
Randy Burch, Must See Racing Supermodified Series General Manager, along with his wife Rhonda, have a long standing relationship with the organizers of this event. “My relationship with the team of organizers for this event goes back to working with them at the Grand Prix of Cleveland. and this is a continuation of that relationship which could prove to be very lucrative for both parties,” said Randy Burch. “I’m very excited to showcase the Must See Racing teams, our series sponsors and our product to a very diverse crowd at this show. It’s something different and new, and I feel that we need to explore these types of venues to help short track racing grow.”
Show attendees will be able to meet the drivers and talk to 9 Time Indianapolis 500 Mile Race starter and Must See TV Color Commentator Tom Bigelow. They will also enjoy event videos showing the speed and nail biting action of Must See Racing and can have their photo taken while sitting in the Must See Racing show car.
Fans of Must See Racing will not only enjoy seeing their favorite race cars and drivers but will also be treated to displays by Summit Motorsports Park, National Tractor Pulling Championships, Hutter Performance and their dyno, Greater Akron Model T Club, The North Coast Ohio Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society & Antique Outboard Motor Club, NEO Chapter of the American Historical Truck Society, Sandusky Speedway, Historical Construction Equipment Association, Box Performance Featured Aircraft & Lorain County Remote Control Club, Military Display, Thompson Drag Raceway, and The All American Soap Box Derby Indoor Rally.
I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama show manager Steve Legerski expounded on working with the Burch’s and Must See Racing saying, “I worked with Randy and Rhonda Burch back in my Grand Prix of Cleveland day and I know that they have a passion for racing. We too have a passion for our show and we like to keep expanding our fan base, just like Must See Racing is doing.”
Legerski sees more than just a one shot deal by partnering with groups like Must See Racing. “With all of our partners, we look for long-term benefits. The cross-marketing that Must See Racing is doing to let its fan base know is essential to us to reach into the grass roots racing fans. We, like all motorsports events, need grow the fan base from the local level up.”
While fans are sure to be thrilled by the spectacle of over 10 unique Must See Racing sprint car and supermodified race cars on display, perhaps even more spectacular will be the crowning of the inaugural Must See Racing Supermodified Series Champion Kyle Edwards in front of the masses right on the main event stage. Edwards of Memphis, TN won 2 of the 3 scheduled races in the 2012 season and will be joined by his fellow supermodified competitors at the I-X Center.
Steve Legerski spoke about the Must See Champion being crowned at his event saying, “Our Main Stage is the centerpiece of our show. We are looking forward to cementing our relationship with Must See Racing and we know that the attendees will enjoy seeing the crowning of the Must See Racing Supermodified Series Champion.” He went on to say, “We want our attendees to walk out of the show saying, ‘I can’t believe all the different types of cars they had on display. What a great show, we can’t wait to come back next year.”
