(Photos by Joe Grippo) – Joe Grippo has made it a yearly habit to visit the AARN Motorsports Race Car and Trade Show that happens each winter outside of Philadelphia. As we have often said, Pennsylvania is one of the racingest states in the country and this show reinforces that fact each and every year. Open to the full range of motorsports from pulling to stock car/sprint car racing, drag racing, and more, it is one of the biggest conglomerations of killer race cars outside of the PRI show.

People come to look at cool stuff but they also come to shop from the many, many vendors that are on hand to ply their wares in the form of parts, safety gear, chassis, and whatever other systems one can consider having on a race car.

We think this show is cool because it applies to our schizophrenic nature here at BangShift. We like a little bit of everything and that’s exactly what this event delivers. Heck, it keeps Joe coming back year after year so you know it has to be good, right?
