Conclusion: This years' show was phenomenal. We saw a 1911 Ford Firetruck, Numerous exciting racing events in the arena, Robots destroyed to bits in the robot arena, and saw a little girl smile knowing money was being raised for the SPINABiVIDA Association. 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.
