More than 50 drivers from NASCAR, IRL and NHRA, as well as entertainment and industry celebrities, are offering autographed cars at the Pinewood Drag Race, held in conjunction with the Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, August 1, at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California.

High-profile figures such as Carroll Shelby, Helio Castroneves, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Larry Dixon, Clint Black and Chuck Norris have penned their signatures to pinewood cars to appear at the Pinewood Drag Race.

Cars Need Sponsors!
Proceeds from the Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, including the Pinewood Drag Race, directly benefit the children of Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp. Recently the kids at both charities participated in a day of building pinewood drag cars.

Gregory Parker, committee chairman for the Pinewood Drag Race, said that the children built about 350 cars during two different project days.

“The build days we had this year were simply fantastic," Parker said. "We had a build day in North Carolina at the Victory Junction Gang Camp on May 2nd and another one at Childhelp Village in California on May 16th.

“We helped kids from both groups build about 350 cars and each one is unique. The joy on their faces as they build their own racers and race them down the tracks is something to see.

“Now we just need to get the racers sponsored by individuals and companies and raise some money for these kids. I hope that everyone out there hearing this message will participate in some way. The kids really need our help now more than ever."
