Guitar Raffle Big Hit at 2014 SEMA Show

The Foundation raffled off two acoustic guitars which featured graphics wraps from BSG Wraps, Fort Worth, Tex. (www.bsgwraps.com), at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas on November 4-7, 2014. Ticket sales were brisk for the two guitars, one featuring a collage of some of drag racing’s early personalities (Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Linda Vaughn, Don Garlits, Mickey Thompson, etc.), and the other a Don Pruhomme collage. Making the interest strong was the fact the wrap covering the guitars would not be repeated — VERY limited editions.

The two winners were drawn at the Foundation’s booth on Friday afternoon. The winner of the Prudhomme guitar was Adam Smith, owner of Black Plate Restorations, Acton, Calif., and the winner of the mixed collage guitar was Marvin Benoit, President of Quick Fuel Technology, Bowling Green, Ky.

The Foundation appreciates the enthusiastic support received at the SEMA Show. We are looking forward to the Performance Racing Industry Show, December 11-13 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

There will be another pair of guitars raffled at the Foundation’s PRI Show at booth 2867 in the Yellow Hall. We look forward to seeing you there!
