New motorsport trade show in Indianapolis in 2009
5th December 2008
A new American motorsport trade show, the International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS), is scheduled to take place on December 2-3, 2009 at the Indianapolis Convention Centre.
The International Motorsports Industry Show is owned and promoted by Performance Events Promotions (PEP) and assisted in presentation by the Indiana Motorsports Association.
Chris Paulsen, the owner of C&R Racing Inc., a co-partner in PEP and the president of the Indiana Motorsports Association said, “Indy is the Racing Capital of the World, and the IMIS show will thrive in this town which is deep in auto racing history and heritage. Our mission is to create a ‘hard-core’ racing trade show that exemplifies this rich heritage. I challenge anyone to show me a more advantageous location for a true motorsports trade show.
“This will not be a ‘fuzzy dice’ show. It will showcase only companies dealing with professional motorsports competing wheel to wheel on a race course. We will welcome the manufacturing equipment companies as well as the transportation side of the sport, as these are both key elements to the industry. Basically, if it’s not directly related to helping a race team take the checkered flag, it won’t be displayed at IMIS.”
