From a press release issued by the AMA:
AMA ANNOUNCES SWAPMEET SCHEDULE; LAWWILL, SHOBERT & ROMERO TO BE GUESTS OF HONOR
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced its 2002-2003 schedule of AMA Swapmeets produced by Will Stoner:
November 10 at Richland County Fairgrounds in Mansfield, Ohio; January 19 at York Interstate Fairgrounds in York, Pennsylvania; February 16 at Richland County Fairgrounds in Mansfield, Ohio; March 3 – 4 at Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Florida; and April 6 at York Interstate Fairgrounds in York, Pennsylvania.
The March AMA Swapmeet will coincide with Daytona 200 Bike Week and will be held in the infield of Daytona International Speedway, in conjunction with the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) vintage road races.
The All-Terrain Vehicle Association (ATVA) will sponsor a special ATV swapmeet at the Mansfield and York events.
The 2002-2003 AMA Swapmeets continue the tradition of featuring “Guests of Honor” at selected events. Bubba Shobert, three-time AMA Grand National Champion, will appear at the Mansfield swapmeet in November, along with his tuner, Skip Eaken. Mert Lawwill, 1970 AMA Grand National Champion and star of “On Any Sunday,” will appear at York in January.
Gene Romero, 1970 AMA Grand National Champion and Daytona winner, will also be an AMA Swapmeet Guest of Honor — more details about his appearance will be announced soon.
The February and April AMA Swapmeets will each host a “Racers’ Reunion.” Anyone who held an AMA license or raced in the ISDT before 1983 is invited to share old photos, programs and other memorabilia at a special reunion area. If pre-registered at least one month before the swapmeet, pre-1983 racers will be admitted free of charge.
All five AMA Swapmeets will feature hourly door-prize drawings, a wide selection of vintage bikes and parts, and vendors specializing in parts for current-day motorcycles. Dealers of new products and services will again appear at the York and Mansfield events.
Vendor space at the Mansfield and York AMA Swapmeets is available at $60.00 per space. Public admission to the Mansfield and York events is $6.00 per person; members of the AMA, ATVA, the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA), and AHRMA will receive a $1.00 discount off the regular admission price.
