The Race-A-Rama portion of the exposition will showcase Tracks of the Northeast, Divisional Championship Race Cars, and vendors offering racing related products, services and souvenirs.  \u201cThe Show will come at a time when fans have reached their winter withdrawal from auto racing and drivers wish to showcase and fine tune their vehicles,\u201d says Cal Green, Race-A-Rama\u2019s Sales Manager. <\/p>\n<p>Frank Maratta\u2019s Auto Show came to life in 1960 at the Hartford State Armory and then moved to the Hartford Civic Center and lastly to the CT Expo Center, which it outgrew. This left the CT based show with nowhere more appropriate to exhibit than the Eastern States Exposition, which has added another 50,000 square feet to the event and is more centrally located.<\/p>\n<p>With the additional space it was an obvious decision to add the Race-A-Rama component. The event will once again give the entire motorsport community a chance to showcase themselves to an audience they have been separated from at The Big E over the past 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am extremely excited about working with such a professional like Cal Green,\u201d said Maratta.  \u201cHe adds his knowledge of racing, relationships with vendors, associations and tracks from the motorsports community and this will certainly make our show one of the best to date.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorsports Community of the Northeast and beyond &#8211; In conjunction with Frank Maratta\u2019s \u201cThe Show of Dreams\u201d auto show, a 54-year-old tradition, Race-A-Rama will be reuniting the motorsport community together once again.
