FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


The Off-Road Business Association (ORBA) announces the cancellation of the 2009 San Diego Off-Road SuperShow


BAKERSFIELD, CA (January 5, 2009) After presenting successful shows in 2007 and 2008 ORBA regretfully announces the cancellation of the 2009 San Diego Off-Road SuperShow that was to be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on February 7 and 8. Citing the unprecedented global economic downturn, ORBA has decided that it is in the best interest of its members and the off-road industry as a whole to cancel the event, and apologizes for any inconvenience that this may cause.

“We would like to thank all those involved for their incredibly generous support, from marketing partnerships, media supporters and sponsors, to ORBA members and other off-roading organizations,” notes Fred Wiley, ORBA Executive Director. “Given the extraordinary economic and industry climate, all well-managed organizations have a fiduciary responsibility to review strategies and tactics. Unfortunately, sometimes this leads to difficult decisions such as the cancellation of our event. ORBA will continue to support and protect the off-roading industry while still demonstrating the fiscal responsibility required by these challenging times.”

ORBA's plans for 2009 include strengthening their current national and local partnerships and increased involvement with land managers across the country. As an organization they are eager to focus on the many land use issues this new year brings to the industry. ORBA looks forward to significant improvements in the economy and the off-highway vehicle (OHV) industry.

2009 ORBA Supershow - February 7-8, 2009 in Del Mar, CA

In just two years the ORBA SuperShow has established itself in the San Diego and Southern California market by consistently growing and creating a well-represented and enjoyable venue for everyone. With the proceeds from the show going directly into ORBA’s efforts to support off-road recreation and the off-road industry, ORBA intends to keep that momentum going. Please sign up and support the 2009 ORBA SuperShow February 7 and 8, 2009.

The Del Mar Fairgrounds will once again be the site for the show. This world class facility boasts beautiful Old World Spanish architecture and an enviable location—right next to the ocean. The Del Mar Fairgrounds is located 20 miles north of downtown San Diego, at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd. in the city of Del Mar, California.

The success of the 2008 show definitely proved that San Diegans are ready for a great off-road show—so we are keeping that momentum going by planning very cool events for Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned for more information as the show nears.Our 2008 show filled two large exhibit halls, a pavilion tent, and the parking area in front of these halls. Additionally, vendors parked around a good portion of the TrophyKart race track. We are currently redesigning the track which will provide a better track design and also allow for more tractor-trailer rigs. One of the very fun features of this show is that there are loads of food vendors—the same delicious food that you get when you go to the fair. Another neat feature is the camping on site. You can bring your motorhome and camp just steps away from the show.
