Winner’s Circle, a retail and wholesale supplier of parts and services for race and performance products and the founding sponsor of the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge, announces the 8th Annual Race & Performance Expo Saturday, February 14 from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday, February 15 from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois.

Developed to be four shows in one for the avid race and muscle car enthusiast, this growing event provides ample opportunity for industry professionals and enthusiasts to network with racing retailers, race engine builders, car builder, sanctioning organizations, car fabricators and trailer manufacturers. Two days of educational seminars offered by performance manufacturers including Holley, Aeromotive, Edelbrock, Comp Cams and more are scheduled.

This year, the Race and Performance Expo has four venues, each with a distinct area of focus—Circle Track Expo, Race & Performance Expo, a professional Car Builder’s Showcase and now a high-performance swap meet. The Race and Performance Expo will again be held in the south building of the Mega Center. The Circle Track Expo and High Performance Swap Meet will be located in the DuPage Expo Center and offers enthusiasts and racers access to everything they need to be prepared for the upcoming season. The Car Builder’s Showcase, located in the St. Charles Ballroom, showcases the latest builds by the top builders in the Midwest hand selected for this event. Well known builders such as Troy Trepanier from “Rad Rides,” in addition to builds from Platinum Custom Cars, Route 66 Motorsports and Midwest Hot Rods have displayed vehicles in the past.

This event is also the location for the first Hot Rodder’s of Tomorrow Engine Challenge for 2015. This competitive event rewards youth with scholarship funds for their ability to take and disassemble then reassemble a high performance 350 Chevy engine. Some teams have been timed in the low 18 minutes. The teams come from throughout the US to compete in multiple challenges with the final winning team announced in December at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show in Indianapolis.
