MOTORSPORTS 2007 WILL LIKELY HAVE A NEW HOME FOLLOWING ANNOUNCED SALE OF FORT WASHINGTON EXPO CENTER; UPCOMING MID-ATLANTIC ROD AND CUSTOM CAR SHOW STILL SET FOR EXPO CENTER

TRENTON, NJ February 6, 2006 - The popular Motorsports 2007 show will likely have a new home following the announced sale of the Fort Washington (Pa.) Expo Center.
Local newspapers and television stations carried news on Feb. 3 that the Fort Washington Expo Center, which has hosted the Len Sammons Productions-organized Motorsports show since 1995, is being sold and will be converted into office space. Plans indicate that the Expo Center, a very popular trade show site, could be closed to "show business" by June 2006.
"The news came as quite a shock," said Len Sammons, who founded the company which carries his name. "We had no idea the Fort Washington Expo Center was even for sale.
"However, we have been able to act quickly and we are confident that we will have a new location for our Motorsports 2007 show in the very near future."
Sammons's Motorsports show, dedicated to just about everything imaginable in the motorsports industry, is annually one of the largest shows presented at the huge Expo Center. His recent Motorsports 2006 presented by VP Racing Fuels show attracted more than 40,000 people during its three-day run and filled virtually all of the 270,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space available at the Fort Washington Expo Center.
Len Sammons Productions also organizes the Mid-Atlantic Rod and Custom Car Show, which is scheduled for its first annual edition March 31-April 2 at the Expo Center. Plans are moving forward with that show and all indications are that it will be a huge success, with more than 300 cars on display and a long list of celebrities appearing during the three-day event.
While making final preparations for the show, Sammons and his staff will now also be working to find new sites for the 2007 Motorsports and Mid-Atlantic Rod and Custom shows. In fact, Sammons has already been contacted by other Expo/Convention centers within a reasonable driving distance of Fort Washington's suburban Philadelphia location.
In addition, Fort Washington Expo Center general manager Ken Safarowic, who oversees 11 large trade shows held at the building, is working with the Montgomery County Industrial Development Center to secure another location in the County.
Sammons said the announcement of the Expo Center's sale comes at the best possible time for his shows. The sale does not affect this year's Mid-Atlantic Rod and Custom Car Show, and he noted that Motorsports '07 brochures have not yet even been printed.
"Our first deadline for Motorsports exhibitor booth renewals is April 1, so we have time to make new plans," said Sammons, who has organized the Motorsports show for 21 years. "We are proceeding with the same time-table we always have, and when we have a new site and floor plan confirmed for the show our loyal, past exhibitors will have the first chance to select booth space.
"We will carefully consider all site options for 2007," continued Sammons. "The Motorsports show has grown to be a huge event and we intend to make it even better in the future."
An announcement of a new site for Motorsports 2007 is expected to be made in the coming weeks.

“We have been trying to get Bill to be a part of our Motorsports show for a long time,” said show organizer Len Sammons. “We are very excited about being able to have him be part of the show and we feel he is going to bring a huge amount of interest our 21st annual show.”
Elliott joins FOX-TV personality and former Nextel Cup crew chief Jeff Hammond plus a large number of local and regional motorsports personalities and racing stars that will be on hand for the show.

FORT WASHINGTON, PA OCTOBER 2, 2005 . . .

VP Fuels have earned a reputation for superior power and consistency -- as is illustrated by the National Hot Rod Association Pro Stock Champions who have made VP their fuel of choice for 30 consecutive years, a record unmatched by any other company in the industry.
“Over the years we have worked with drivers, teams and tracks from all forms of motorsports,” said Jim Kelly, VP Regional Manager. “Jeff Gordon, Brett Hearn, Ricky Carmichael, Kenny Tremont, Tim McCreadie, Chub Frank, Ted Christopher, John Force, Warren and Kurt Johnson, and Greg Anderson are just a few in the sport that we have worked with or are supplying fuel to at present.”
VP Racing Fuels is the official track fuel at a variety of tracks around the nation including Atco (N.J.) Raceway, Lebanon Valley Dragway, Monadnock Speedway plus many others. In addition their fuel rigs can be found at NHRA events as well as servicing Trans Am and Toyota-Atlantic races at Montreal, Toronto and Cleveland.
Kelly continued, “I couldn’t be more enthused about our association with Lenny and the Motorsports 2006 Show. Over the years we’ve watched the show outgrow the Valley Forge Convention Center and become one of the premiere motorsports events in the Northeast. Much like the show, VP Racing Fuels has continued to grow year after year, outgrowing our old Chester, PA facility and now running the Delaware (Newark) facility at full throttle. We appreciate all the support we have received over the years and are looking forward to seeing everyone at the show.”
VP Racing Fuels offers both leaded and unleaded racing fuels in bulk and drums as well as Methanol and Nitromenthane. The highly respected company has their own fleet of trailer and tanker trucks to handle deliveries to dealers and distributors as well as provide race services to various national and regional series.
The company, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, is owned by Steve Burns and Fred Morrison.
Motorsports 2006 Presented by VP Racing Fuels will again offer a variety of FREE Seminars for show attendees and again one of the highlights of the show will be the U.S.Tobacco Ms. Motorsports Pageant.
