World of Wheels show coming to Duluth

The World of Wheels show is coming to the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center in Duluth, March 2325.

More than 100 automobiles, trucks, race cars and more will be on display. Radio controlled cars will be racing throughout the weekend, and all are competing for cash and prizes.

Also, there will be an auction for hand-painted/pinstriped items throughout the weekend, with all monies raised going to support the Duluth Boys & Girls Club.

The arenas will be filled with a variety of customs, trucks, 4x4s, racing carts, hot rods, street rods, race cars, custom cycles, antiques, and more.

New this year: More than 50 owners of radio controlled cars from Minnesota and Wisconsin will race many times daily throughout the show in Pioneer Hall competing for cash and prizes.
