How would you like to race your car at Pomona for only $95? No, it won't
be on the historic NHRA Raceway's 1/4-mile; however, it will be on SEMA Cares'
Pinewood Derby track where your generous donation will help a child in
need, and you might just make the record books as the winner of this
year's special event!
Held in conjunction with the annual SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, the SEMA Cares Pinewood Drag Races,
presented by eBay Motors, will take place at 12:00 p.m., Friday, July
27, 2012, at the Sheraton Fairplex Hotel & Convention Center in
Pomona, California.
The WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Challenger is used to raising eyebrows, but
by the time it rolled off the auction block at the Barrett-Jackson
Collector Car Auction January 20, in Scottsdale, Arizona, it also raised
big money for charity to the tune of $115,000.
The WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Challenger,
last seen parked inside the 2011 SEMA Show’s Grand Lobby in front of a
life-size banner that simulated a live auction, is now less than two
months away from being auctioned to benefit children’s charities at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, January 15–22, 2012.
