Quarter Mile Foundation Ignites SEMA 2025!
The Quarter Mile Foundation (QMF) is thrilled to share that “Big Daddy” Don Garlits is to receive the Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award at the SEMA Show Industry Awards Gala on Thursday night, Nov. 6. Come and congratulate Don at the QMF booth, #23025 in the Central Hall.
Our friends at Painless Performance Products have graciously sponsored this years’ QMF tee shirts. These limited-edition shirts reflect the essence of power that is drag racing and the era of days gone by. Get yours at the booth.
"I grew up in the 60’s and was an avid drag racer as well as a fan of the legends of those times, that being said, I think Quarter Mile Foundation is an important part of keeping those days and people from not being forgotten,” Dennis Overholser, Founder and President, Painless Wiring.
Here's a little sneak peek of the back of this limited edition tee!
We also have the ever-so talented Kenny “Blood Did It” Youngblood, the 1955 Chevy Nomad "Chevado" rear engine wheelstander, and local Autosports artist, Larisa Roshina.
There’s always a buzz going on in the QMF booth, and you never know who will stop by.
Don’t miss out, add us to your calendar.
