SUCCESSFUL PR AT FIRST BOLTON `LE MANS' SHOW Startrax were invited and participated in the inaugural `Le Mans' town centre 2 day show in Bolton Town Centre which was gauged a big success for it's first year. As in all `new' events there are many things that can be improved upon and whilst on Saturday our Oval cars were in a quieter area adjacent to Debenhams, we had a second site for Sunday.   A number of BriSCA and non BriSCA cars were on display over the two days and literally hundreds of fixture lists were distributed and photograph sessions with Kids [ and Adults!] in cars and there was a high level of interest achieved,   Startrax would like to thank the drivers and race teams who assisted over the weekend and the Goring family without whose help resource would have been stretched Sunday!   In conversations with the event organiser, we have been offered a much bigger involvement in the 2011 event which we have accepted and have been assured considerable ongoing PR locally following the event Photographs provided by Andy Rhodes
