SOUTHERN TIER SPEEDWORLD
SHATTERS ATTENDANCE RECORDS
Positive Vibes All Weekend Long |
The 6th Annual Southern Tier Speedworld presented by Mike Stolarcyk
Chevrolet and Country Town Auto Service concluded its three day run at the
Oakdale Mall this past weekend with more record setting attendance records.
Official attendance numbers were unavailable at press time but
according to Oakdale Mall management the attendance numbers from this past
weekend surpassed any weekend total in the history of the facility, which is
over 25 years old.
Mall officials also indicated that this past weekend attendance
easily surpassed the attendance numbers of this past holiday shopping
season.
Finally Oakdale Mall officials wanted to say thank you to all of
the race teams who had their racing machines displayed in a professional
manner.
“I have no words to describe how pleased and happy I am at how well
the show went this year and how beautiful all of the racecars were“, stated
Show Manager Robin Oltz of NEARA Promotions, Inc. “Yes, it was very tough at
times walking around because the show was sold out and the crowd was so big.
But it proves that in these times something that is free does very well and
I know all of the stores in the Oakdale Mall enjoyed the added business
because of the racers. In turn every car and sponsors of those cars are
happy too because of the additional exposure they received this weekend.“
This year the toughest job was for the judges in selecting the Best
Appearing Awards in each class. Yes it was tough in selecting just one
winner but as NEARA Promotions, Inc. mentioned several times. Every car that
displayed throughout the weekend was a winner as all cars were
professionally displayed.
