DIAMOND BAR, CA - "From hot rods to racing tuned torque monsters and everything in between, our goal is to bring together some amazing vehicles and create a spectacular event. We're encouraging all enthusiasts to register their vehicles," said Mike Spagnola, chairman of the SEMA Show N'Shine car show. "There will also be food, live music and plenty of activities for the kids - so it will be a great family affair. We'd really like this enthusiast car show to become the showcase event of the summer and grow each year so we can raise more money for two deserving children's charities."
