Motorama Exhibition Rules

Directions/Parking

When Arriving at Harrisburg on Friday, Enter from Cameron Street to Industrial Road. Follow the arrows and enter the Expo Hall (#2 on map).

After unloading your trailer, exit the main parking lot, turn right onto Industrial Rd., proceed straight thru the traffic light onto Elmerton Ave, go to the top of the hill and turn right onto Sycamore Drive and make a right into the new trailer parking lot (#3 on map).  Proceed to the far back left corner of the parking lot and give the guard your trailer parking pass.  He will show you where to park and give you a 2 part tag to wire to your trailer. You may pick up your trailer after 4pm on Sunday.  We will have 24 hour security for this lot. You may use your purple parking pass to park in this lot and use the shuttle or the main parking lot / participant entrance anytime during the weekend.  A trailer parking pass can be purchased for $15.00 in advance or at the registration desk when you check in. 

Display Vehicle Safety Requirements

The fire marshal has the authority to enforce the regulations by fining violators, and as the event producers we may also disqualify violators from competition if you do not comply with the following requirements: 

Gas tanks are not allowed to have more than 1/4 of a tank of fuel in them when entering the venue. 

Gas tanks must either have a lock or be taped so they are sealed.

Batteries must either have a visible shut off switch set in the off position or be disconnected at the battery.

Fire Marshal's have requested the removal of all nitrous bottles when possible before entering the building.  If bottles are to difficult to remove, you must remove the valve(s) completely before entering the building.  Which proves to the marshals they are empty upon inspection. 

No starting of engines during the show or anytime after you are set up. 

Absolutely no "For Sale Signs" to be placed in or around show vehicles.

Any display items should be fire proof if possible.  (i.e. stanchions, ropes, carpet, etc.)  All items you bring to display are your responsibility.

If you have ordered electricity for your display, your cord must be standard electric codes and taped down.

Vendors and vehicle exhibitors will receive a prepaid parking pass at the sign-in table on Friday which costs $20.00 and is added to your advanced registration. The advanced parking pass gains you quick access to the venue's parking lots.  Be sure to display your parking pass when arriving Saturday and Sunday so staff knows you are a prepaid show participant.    

The show staff will tell you where to park. If you want to park with friends be sure to notify event producer Swish at 717-269-2625 upon registering to coordinate a group spot.
