The largest traveling swap meet will next hit Maple Grove Raceway, July 15-17
MOHNTON, Pa. (June 23, 2011) - The next Super Chevy Show event will be held in Mohnton, Pa. at Maple Grove Raceway, July 15-17. The event will feature one of the largest swap meets of the 2011 tour and give fans an opportunity to find some real deals.
For 2011, Super Chevy Show has brought in Harry “The Hat” Laplatte to lead most of the Super Chevy Show swap meets. Laplatte has been working with swap meet sponsor RacingJunk.com this year and is excited about their relationship with the series.
Times are changing and RacingJunk.com recognizes the need for uncomplicated services. Therefore, RacingJunk.com allows buyers to view their items before buying them off of the site. Super Chevy Show makes it possible for buyers to have their goods brought to the next event for pick up since shipping can sometimes be expensive, especially if you are purchasing transmissions, engines, rear ends or other large items.
Once you are a member of RacingJunk.com, you can list items on the site for free. Laplatte tells us that he stands behind RacingJunk.com and their services 100%.
"Many times I have been thanked weeks after a show from buyers who bought items off of RacingJunk.com and were very happy with their purchase, or restored a car after finally finding a needed item they had been seeking. RacingJunk.com can provide buyers with that opportunity. It’s a great site,” Laplatte said.
