Is the expo still scheduled in december at indiana state fair grounds ? Not listed on fair december event calender. I think their website for expo has been pulled from internet. Anyone know details.

If your talking about the swap meet, it has always been at the end of January. If your talking about the IMIS show, it's going on right now at the convention center.

He is talking about neither. The other expo looks like it died after they decided to change dates.

I recently spoke to one of the main promoters of the Great American Motorsports Exposition and he informed me it would be held on Brickyard weekend at the State FAIRGROUNDS on Friday and Saturday July 29-30 in conjunction with a stock car race they want to do on the mile. I am hoping they add Non-Wing Sprints to the card!!

But I don't understand?? Just 2 months ago, it was so big, that Pavement Dave told us:

NEW EXPO ANNOUNCES DATE CHANGE
Anderson, IN - October 6, 2010 - Officials of the Great American Motorsport Exposition today announced that the new Trade Show - Auction - Swap Meet - Fan Fest has been moved back two weeks from its original date due to the need for more square footage.

As the show has grown, several additions have been added including a
swap meet area and a car and motorcycle corral. The event was
originally going to be held in a 69,000 square foot building at the
Indiana State Fairgrounds. The event will continue to be held at the
Fairgrounds but in the 139,000 square foot South Pavilion. With the
much larger building, the event will be able to accommodate everything
in one building....

I mean, it was just about 60 days ago that there was all that need for an additional 70,000 square feet,?! Which of course coincided with all the excitment surrounding all the different events and the popular date change:

Quote:

Show founder, Gary Schlafer, explained the reasoning for the date change. " To do everything we want to do under one roof we needed a much larger facility " explained Schlafer. " The response to the date change has been highly popular. We will be having a trade show, auction, fan fest, and swap meet all going on at the same time. The way the South Pavilion is set up, it allows for everything to be separated but yet in the same building
" continued Schlafer. "...

I just can't comprehend what could have happened to a show that just 8 weeks ago was:

Quote:

..being considered by many in the sport to be the largest industry show of its kind in North America.

This is all just very mind boggling.... I need to take a powder and LIE down.
