Howdy Yhaaall!

Seen that I’m off to Dallas Texas for Keystone’s Big Midwest Show, I felt like that was an appropriate hello-lol!

I have been receiving many requests for an appearance schedule. Because of this,I realized that I normally post when I am in route to an appearance and/or news and notifications while I’m there at the appearance.

Thank you for your interest and I agree it is a good idea!

I will be adding an appearance calendar section on my website soon http://www.thequeenofcars.com.

In the meantime, thought I’d letcha know where I am going to be  Fri-Sun of this week.

If you are going to be at the show or in the area, stop by the EBC Brakes booth, say hello, and receive an autograph wall poster/calendar.

Have a great weekend!

For Immediate Release
CARS ARE THE STARS AT JOHN FORCE HOLIDAY CAR SHOW
Unwrapped Toy Provides Access to Drivers, Other Celebrity Guests
 
 YORBA LINDA, Calif. – The cars will be the stars this week when 14-time NHRA Funny Car Champion John Force opens the gates of his Southern California racing complex for the annual John Force Racing Holiday Car Show benefitting the California Highway Patrol’s “CHiP’s for Kids” Christmas toy drive.
 
 Hundreds of street rods, muscle cars, classics, exotics, motorcycles, trucks, boats, specialty vehicles and race cars including the Force brothers’ “Nightstalker” Funny Car will be on display from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.  Price of admission is a new, unwrapped $10 toy.
 
 In addition to the “Nightstalker,” which returned to competition this year in a one-off event at Norwalk, Ohio, the vehicle lineup includes Jay Leno’s 1955 Buick Roadmaster custom, a $2 million Bugatti Veyron, a collection of “monster rods” built from Peterbilt trucks and an historic Amphicar designed for road or water.
 
 The event also will celebrate the 50th anniversary of vehicles from the year 1959 – cars, trucks, classics and customs.
 
 Sponsored by the Automobile Club of Southern California, Fairway Ford, System One wax products and Los Angeles television stations KCBS and KCAL, the Holiday Car Show also features vendor booths, tours of the JFR shop and museum, special pricing on items in the John Force RaceStation retail store and music by the bands “The Answer,” “M-O-S Project” and “L’il Mo and the Dynaflos.”

One of my favorite car show events is just days away – The John Force Holiday Show. This year we are celebrating 12 years of success!

As most of you know, this event grows by leaps and bounds every year. Which makes me very excited to see how many more cars and enthusiasts will show up this year!

Along with the hundreds of awesome rides, many of the big names in the automotive world come out to support John’s event. Which means you will have the opportunity to get up-close and personal with your favorite pro drivers, customizers, TV hosts and artists.

I’ll be there early cruisin’ around checkin’ out the cars and for photo opportunities with all in attendance. Later in the afternoon I’ll be with the John Force Racing Team signing autographs, and then off to award trophies to the winners.

I look forward to seeing you there!

We are anticipating over 150 of the finest motorcycles to be offered, many of which are going to be sold at “no reserve” to the highest bidder. Auction preview day is Friday, October 9, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This year’s event will bring some of the finest motorcycles available for sale under one tent as well as many motorcycles being exclusively imported from England, Italy and Japan! Additionally, you will see a full array of very rare bikes like Ariel, Velocette, D.O.T., Indian, and many other brands from around the world.
We would like to invite all of our friends, old and new, to take advantage of this great opportunity to sell their classic motorcycles during the festival weekend.

There is no better place to realize the best dollar for your bike, as there will be hundreds of interested buyers and classic cycle enthusiasts looking for their next acquisition.
