Each year thousands come to MOTORAMA for the ArenaCross event which features 400 plus riders, ages 4 to 40, represented by 30 states around the country. This arena style racing is what Pennsylvanias simply consider "MOTORAMA". 80 Dump trucks were used to setup the racetrack and the 10,000 plus seats in the arena are always filled. So if you want to attend this show, we suggest coming early and finding a seat as it's standing room only once the competition stars at 7:00 sharp. Right from the gate, this years event started off with a bang, and luckily for one rider, it wasn't serious. This is one event you don't want to miss.

Individuals show off their hand made robots equpped with the best armor and gadgetry in a fierce competition in a High-tech bulletproof steel and lexan arena to destroy their opponents in one to one combat. There is a 3 minute time limit so contestants have to work fast to smash their competitors. 130 Robots entered combat last year and this year has seen a similar number signup (122 from what we counted). We had a lot of fun watching this event and would encourage young adults interested in this sport to visit the Northeast Robotics Club Website for more information.

100's of vendors
Auction of wares/cars

You can see 2 of Steven Paules' Detomaso Pantera's, Chris Hughes 1971 Tube Chassis Chevelle and so much more. All in all there are probably about 60 cars on display. This portion of the show is truly incredible. A can't Miss!

We hope others come share the joy of this event either tonight or next year and moreover we hope you'll come volunteer with everard to give back to those who are in need of extra care.
We would like to second the Special Dedication to our friend, Phil Holsinger, who has been recognized at a number of 2008 Car Shows, as a Corvette Enthusiast but moreover as a man with a giant heart who loved the kids at MOTORAMA. In his death he dedicated his car to the SPINA BIFIDA Assocation. He will be greatly missed at this years show.
