By: Kevin Ramsell

Wednesday, December 27, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – Midwest Motorsports will kick off 2007 with the Illinois Racer’s Auction in Loves Park, IL.  The annual event will take place on Friday, January 5 and Saturday, January 6, 2007.

For the second year in a row, the event will be held at the Rockford Sportscore Indoor Sports Center.  The facility is easily located about a mile east of Interstate 39/90 at 8800 E. Riverside Blvd, Loves Park, IL.  

Last year, Midwest Motorsports only used half of its facility, but in 2007 the entire facility will be used.  “This will allow us to have more room for part lots, C-lots, vendors, and discussions among the racing community,” Gregg McKarns of Midwest Motorsports stated.  “If you thought last year had a lot of opportunities, wait until this year.”  

Potential sellers are encouraged to pre-register now for Prime Time slots.  You can get the registration form and more information about selling at the Auction’s website at www.racersauctionnews.com.  

Along with the auction, there will also be a huge trade show and seminars both days.  More information about this will be in a separate press release.  

Auction officials will start taking consignment items on Thursday, January 4 at 11:00 a.m.  The building will close at 9:00 p.m.

The auction will open to the public at noon on Friday, January 5 with the auction beginning at 1:00 p.m. and going to about 9:00 p.m. that night.  Auction officials suggest that bidders arrive early to register for their bidder cards and receive a free catalog.

The auction doors will open at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 6 with the auction starting at 9:00 a.m.  The Prime Time Part Lot sale starts at 11:00 a.m. with the C-Lots starting at Noon.  

Admission for each day is $10 or you can buy a combo admission (both Friday and Saturday) for $10.  Ages 11 and under are FREE.
