By way of introduction, my name is Richard Bartel. I am an avid Motorcycle & Car Nut. In other words a certified Gear head. I have been doing Car Shows & Drag Races for over 16 years now. Mainly through voluntary work for the club I am a member of (The Wichita Area Chevelle Owners) and the local dragstrips. A couple of years ago people were saying I need to start my own shows. Back in 2009 I worked for the National Muscle Car Association helping with their Car Shows in Chicago and North Carolina. It was then on the plane trip back home that I started thinking about maybe taking a stab at doing one of my own events. This is when I came up with the concept “The Chill”. The 1st year this was a Motorcycle only event. This was I believe by far the largest indoor Motorcycle Show that had ever been done here in the Park City / Wichita, KS area. It was a great turnout. For the 2nd year I added a Car Show. The numbers were just staggering. 259 Motorcycles / 258 Cars and another 100 vehicles on display by the booth venders themselves. This provided 617 total vehicles on display for the general public.
As you can tell I have a true passion promoting events (gear head related). I host several different events throughout the year. Some of which are my own and some that I just help volunteer my time. Please check back often for the latest updates on these events.
Until then, keep the Hammer Down or the Throttle Wide Open and let’er Rip!!!!!
