Pennsylvania COVID-19 Restrictions Prevent 2021 Motorama Races and Shows

Harrisburg, PA - It is with great disappointment that COVID-19 related governmental restrictions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will prevent the 2021 Motorama Races and Shows from being held as scheduled February 20th and 21st 2021 in Harrisburg, Pa. The decision to keep the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Complex and Expo Center closed until further notice was relayed from the state this week. The Executive Director of the facility Sharon Altland shared with us the following statement.

“As a result of continued COVID-19 mitigation efforts in Pennsylvania, the PA Farm Show Complex & Expo Center remains unable to host large, public events and therefore is unable to host Motorama 2021. For now, employee and visitor safety are our top priority. We apologize for this inconvenience.”

The Hostetter Family who has been hosting the show since its inaugural year in 1978 is disappointed but understand the decision that had to be made. Motorama Productions will certainly miss celebrating Motorsports this coming February with racers, exhibitors, and vendors, but looks forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at Motorama Races and Shows in 2022. Brad Hostetter was quoted saying, 

“The cancellation of the 43rd annual Motorama Races and Shows is a disappointment, but without the ability to use the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in February of 2021 the show is not possible to host. There are no other adequate indoor facilities large enough in the Mid-Atlantic region and with all states requiring mitigation rules that must be adhered to for indoor events there is no way to make the show happen anywhere in Pennsylvania or the surrounding states . We have exhausted all options and unfortunately must step away from hosting 2021’s event”

The 44thannual Motorama Races and Shows is scheduled to be held at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg, Pa February 19th,and 20th 2022.
