Fans of Eric Clapton will vie for the desirable autographed Fender guitar, a "Blackie" replica at the auction during the Legend's Dinner, Feb. 13th at the Avalon Room, Fairplex in Pomona.
Sale of Clapton's exquisite "Blackie" replica, nicknamed by Clapton for the finish of his beloved and world-famous "composite" Stratocaster, will benefit the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating American motorsports and culture.
We're also pleased to present several additional auction items including a John Force roof hatch signed by the entire JF Crew, a page of original art from Pete Millar's drag racing comic book, and an official 50th Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals presented by Valvoline banner autographed by Shirley Muldowney, John Force, Bob Glidden, Don Garlits, Don Prudhomme and Bill Jenkins.
"This is an auction you don't want to miss. There are so many highlights in this event; there should be many thrills and excitement here in Pomona. I invite you all to join us," said Executive Director Tony Thacker, Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum.
