indoor shows with the
excitement of live racing, all in the heated 24
- acre complex.
The main hall at the south end of the complex
is home to the Speed Show.

show vehicles, related
vendors, collectables and interactive activities.

Motorama fans and the voting public, we have raised

various charities. On the show stage will be a
charity auction, musical
entertainment and the ever-popular Ms Motorama
Pageant. Ms Motorama 2010,
Karin Heisy fro Middletown, Pa will hand over
her crown Sunday between 11AM
and 1:30 PM.
The Expo Hall at the North end of the complex
is host to the Rod & Custom
car show along with the TunerWar Sport Compact
car show. This will be the
largest two-day show of its kind on the East Coast,
with over 300 vehicles
on display. There will be "live" entertainment
on stage both days along
with slot car racing, gravity track down hill
racing and other interactive
motorsports activities. Rod and Custom Special
Guest Rob Ida will be on
hand with is all so famous Tucker signing autographs
all weekend.
As always, the indoor racing provides the adrenaline
for the 40,000
Motorama fans. The must see spectacle is the two
days of high flying
arenacross action in the 8000 seat Large Arena.
Some of the best motorcross
and ATV riders in the northeast will battle, handle
bar to handle bar,
while trying to tame the dirt jumps.
Remote control competition will be a big part
of Motorama 2011. Don't let
their size fool you, these nitro burning 1/8 scale
buggies, truggies, and
monster trucks, run like the big boys without
the driver. They are radio
controlled from a 10-foot driver's stand and refueled
during the race by a
one-man pit crew. All the action takes place in
the 1200 seat Equine Arena.
The West hall will be home to Electric Remote
Control Racing. There will
be two tracks, one for 1/10 scale Remote Control
racing known as a short
course track brought to you by Harrisburg's own
Hidden Hanger and a
Rockcrawling competition on a purpose built layout
of rock & dirt for three
rockcrawling divisions run by Western Pennsylvania
Rockcrawlers Association
and is an Official qualifying event for the Nationals.
Destruction is the attraction in the Small Arena.
This is Robot Conflict
territory and run by the Northeast Robotics Club.
All the robots are
entered in a bracket according to their weight.
Two bots enter a Plexiglas
enclosed arena and battle for 3 minutes. The winner
goes to the next round.
If it's oval racing you like, you have two options.
In the Northeast
Building there will be over 200 go karts competing
on the 1/10th mile
concrete oval. Racing is intense with 6-second
lap times. The kids are the
main attraction in the Quarter Midget Races in
the Northwest Building. See
boys and girls from ages 5 to 14 years of age
test their skills on the
concrete oval. These kids are serious about their
racing and are the future
stars of the sport. There are over 230 midgets
registered.
The 2011 edition of Motorama is the largest event
of it's kind in the
northeast and is a sure cure for cabin fever.
As always, all seats are
general admission and all scheduled activities
are included. For advanced
