Latest gear, hot cars on display at Racers Expo

 

The event, not geared to fans, offers racers and vendors a chance to get together

By PETER C.T. ELSWORTH JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

 

 

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. — About 1,400 racers and track professionals turned out for the third annual Racers Expo at the Royal Plaza Hotel last weekend, according to organizer Bobby Seymour.

The Expo, which is not geared for race fans, was established three years ago by former racing champs Seymour and John Mikitarian as a forum for “vendors, racers, racing bodies and tracks.”

“You’re so busy at the track …, this is a chance to step back and see all the new pieces and equipment,” Seymour said, adding, “We keep it free for racers and cheap for vendors.”

The show fills the void left by the closing in 2009 of the Racearama and the subsequent Speedway Expo in West Springfield, Mass. The only other regional forum for racers and vendors is the October swap meet at Thompson Raceway Park in Thompson, Conn.

Racer Susan Lescynski, 30, drove down from Richmond, N.H., with her father/mechanic Hank (“I do the fixin’!”). She said she has been racing Mini Sprints for 14 years, winning the 500cc series championship in 2000 and 2001. She now competes in the 600cc series.

“We came to see old faces and new stuff,” she said. Read More
