The Racers’ Expo team, is proud to announce the Racers’ Expo 2012, to be held February 10-11 at the Royal Plaza Hotel in Marlboro, MA. Bringing Northeast hardcore racers and national vendors, touring series and race trakcs together under one roof, one time each year seems to be the recipe for a great weekend. Last year’s show more than met our expectations with an awesome turnout of over 60 vendors from all across the country and racers from all over New England.
This year’s show will host a whopping 70 vendors and 4 seminars for thousands of New England’s finest racers, sanctioning bodies and race teams. “This is not a car show to buy die-cast cars and beef jerky, but an all-racing related expo”, said John Mikitarian of Triple M Motorsports, and co-host of the Racers’ Expo.
