SEMA Leadership Days will be held this year at the Sheraton Fairplex Conference Center in Pomona, California, and will conclude Friday, July 27, with the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser.

eBay Motors will return for the third consecutive year as the presenting sponsor of the Pinewood Drag Races in support of the SEMA Cares children's charities. Held in conjunction with the annual SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, the SEMA Cares Pinewood Drag Races will take place July 29, 2011, at 12:00 p.m. at the Renaissance Hotel in Long Beach, California. The finals will occur during the cocktail reception shortly before the banquet begins. Proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit two worthwhile children’s charities—Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp.

Gray Baskerville, Art Chrisman, Chris Economaki and John Towle will be inducted into the SEMA Hall of Fame, an honor that recognizes an elite group of individuals for raising the stature or growth of the automotive specialty-equipment industry.

More than 50 drivers from NASCAR, IRL and NHRA, as well as entertainment and industry celebrities, are offering autographed cars at the SEMA Pinewood Drag Race.
