After a decade of absence of any type of racing trade show, Illinois capitol city Springfield will play host to the 1st ANNUAL MIDWEST SPEED EXPO Trade Show and Swap Meet the weekend of February 21st and 22nd. The event will take place at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Illinois in the beautiful ultra modern 39,000 sq. ft. heated ORR Building.

What better way to spend a Saturday or Sunday just before the start of the new race season? This is your opportunity to look over and purchase both new and used race parts for Dirt Late Models, Modifieds, Sprint Cars, Midgets, Drag Race etc. as well as the latest from motorcycle dealers and trailer/transport dealers who will also be on hand.

There will be representatives from several area tracks and sanctioning bodies on hand as well with whom you can discuss any rules changes and scheduling for the 2004 season, including U.M.P., Northern All Star Late Models, Jacksonville Raceway, Midwest Sprint Car Series and others!

Also on hand will be representatives for several chassis manufacturers as well as shock, wheel, fuel tires and safety equipment representatives to answer any questions you might have.

Shannon Babb, 2003 Topless 100 winner and 2002 Dirt Track World Championship Winner will be on hand signing autographs and will have his car on display as will Justin Allgaier, veteran UMP Late Model, M.A.R.A. midget and ARCA driver, fresh back from his trip to New Zealand for some winter racing. 2002 World of Outlaw Championship winner Danny Lasoski will also have his car on display as well as 2003 Jacksonville Raceway Track Champion Terry Babb.
