installation banquet
pinewood drag races
The annual SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser and 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.
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! Wally Parks, the founder of the NHRA and a very charitable man himself, will be watching the Pinewood Drag Races from above with a smile on his face knowing the specialty-equipment market he loved so much continues to support people in need. Help a child in need today.

Held in conjunction with the annual SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, the SEMA Cares Pinewood Drag Races, presented by eBay Motors, take place at 12:00 p.m., Friday, July 27, 2012, at the Sheraton Fairplex Hotel & Convention Center in Pomona, California. There is no better location for the Pinewood Drag Races than Pomona—home of the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum and Auto Club Raceway.

Proceeds from the races benefit the Childhelp and Victory Junction Camp charities. Childhelp assists abused and neglected children by providing counseling and programs in a safe and secure living environment. Victory Junction Camp provides the camp experience for children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses who otherwise would not be able to go to camp.

Sponsoring a SEMA Cares Pinewood Drag Race car is easy and rewarding. Help a child in need today.

CAD file data for the 2013 Escape is available through SEMA's Tech Transfer program to members for use in developing accessories.
   

Scheduled to arrive next year, the ’13 Ford Escape is projected to debut with fuel economy up to 5 mpg better than the outgoing model, thanks in part to 10% better aerodynamics.

It will be offered with optional 1.6L and 2.0L EcoBoost engines for the North American market, or an updated 2.5L four as standard equipment. All engines will be backed by a SelectShift Automatic six-speed transmission.  

According to Ford, 60% of Americans shopping for a vehicle next year will look at either a midsize car or small SUV, making the Escape part of one of the most cross-shopped, fastest-growing segments in the marketplace.  
The newest version of the Escape will offer more cargo volume behind the first and second rows, a trailer tow rating of 3,500 lbs., and a two-position load floor.

Advanced features include a hands-free power liftgate that operates with the kick of a foot, an active grille shutter system that improves aerodynamics, and Intelligent 4WD that uses sensor inputs to turn the vehicle in the direction the driver wants it to go.
