MANITOWOC, Wis. -- Branch’s Gregg Herrmann is hoping for some good weather on January 21 can produce some record attendance numbers for his Lakeshore Motorsports Show and Sale at the Manitowoc County Expo’s Merchants Building.

Herrmann puts on the show with partner Joe Roberts. This will be third year for the show, which will feature 34 different vendors. “This is the second straight year I’ve had to turn potential vendors away,” said Herrmann. “Last year even with a heavy snowstorm on Friday night into Saturday morning, we had a late arriving crowd of roughly 850 people. If the weather’s good we are hoping to push for over 1,000 people to attend the show.”

Herrmann got the idea for the show a few years back when the Green Bay Racer’s auction was cancelled and the show was consolidated with the show in Madison. “I really felt that there was a need for some type of motorsports show in northeast Wisconsin,” said Herrmann. “It’s sort of evolved into a dirt show.”

A diverse group of vendors will be on hand. It will include everything from Wisconsin race tracks, chassis builders, race car parts manufacturers and individuals and businesses selling new and used racing parts, equipment and supplies.

More than 16,000 feet of display space will be utilized. Outside space is also available for race cars, trucks and trailers. Vendors can buy, sell or trade their merchandise. Parking is free.

The show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Concessions will be available through the Manitowoc Chiefs Youth Football program. Adult admission to the show is $3 while kids 12 and under are free.
