PHILLIPSBURG, N.J. – The Fourth Annual IRCO Community Federal Union Dirt Track Heroes Car Show will return to the Phillipsburg Mall in 2011 with opening day set for Sunday, March 6. The show will continue through Saturday, night, March 12. The Phillipsburg Mall, located on Route 22 East in Phillipsburg, N.J., is a popular location for this event that offers a broad variety of racecars on display. As many as one-hundred race cars from the past, present and future are expected to "over flow" the Phillipsburg Mall. This event is one of the leading attractions, drawing record crowds for the weeklong event.

The race cars are on display for various reasons. The restored racecars represent the past, the "good old days" if you will, and always bring back great memories joined by special appearances from many of the famed drivers who drove these cars. Current day racecars are displayed by race teams to gain their sponsors exposure and create interest for mall walkers to visit a race track in their area. New cars are displayed for similar reasons, and to also show the new and changing technology of the race cars. You can visit the IRCO Dirt Track Heroes Car Show and on any given night, meet the drivers who pilot these four-wheel high-powered race cars.

Many racetracks participate in this event as a way to distribute their schedules for the coming season and meet and greet old fans and, hopefully, make new fans to attend their racing events. The Reading Fairgrounds, Flemington and Harmony Historical Societies will also be participants in the show, sharing photo memories and racing memorabilia of the special but fallen race tracks.

More information is available by calling 443-513-4456 or you may complete the entry form located on the home page of the www.thunderonthehillracingseries.com web site.

In the previous events, cars that were on display include big and small block Modifieds, Sportsman, Micro-Sprints, ARDC Midgets, URC Sprints, Late Models, go-karts and a broad variety of vintage and restored race cars. Several race tracks will also use this event as an opportunity to get the word out on their up-coming 2011 racing season. New Egypt, Grandview, Bridgeport, Hamlin, Kutztown, Borger's and the West End Quarter Midgets will again be involved in the 2011 show.

For the fourth year, expect the return of the CARQUEST Gasoline Alley and the Pados Brothers as they will host the nightly events and interviews.
