CUSTOM CAR MAGAZINE AND REAL STEEL SPONSOR BDRHOF 2014 GALA AWARDS DINNER The British Drag Racing Hall of Fame (BDRHoF) can announce that Custom Car Magazine, in partnership with Real Steel, is to join the list of companies sponsoring the BDRHoF 2014 Celebration Gala Dinner Awards. First published in March 1970, Custom Car Magazine is the longest established magazine covering drag racing and hot rodding in the UK and in 2007 was inducted into the BDRHoF in its own right. At one time in the early 1970s it was the official magazine of the British Drag Racing & Hot Rod Association and has sponsored many cars, events and championships throughout its history. The Custom Car Shows of the 1970s and 1980s played an important role in bringing hot rodding and drag racing to the attention of the British public. The first issue cover is shown in the photo. This history of support will be marked by the BDRHoF Gala Dinner table programme/menu that will be presented to all those attending. Jointly sponsored by Real Steel it will be in the form of a mini Custom Car Magazine, featuring the menu, time table and information about the award winners. Designed by Darren West of Power Race Graphics it will be a great souvenir of the event. Editor of Custom Car Magazine, Dave Biggadyke said, “We are proud of our association with drag racing over the years and would like to thank the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame for giving us the chance of getting involved in this magnificent tribute to the pioneers of the sport – particularly as this year marks 50 years since Sydney Allard organised the First British International Drag Festivals. It is fantastic that one of the men at that series of influential drag racing meetings, Don Garlits, is to be at the Gala Dinner. He has stamped his mark on the sport in a manner that nobody else has equalled. I would like to thank Charles Pinion of Real Steel for joining us as co-sponsor”. Robin Jackson, Press and Public Relations Manager for the BDRHoF said, “Having Custom Car Magazine involved with this event is very fitting. In media terms there can be few publications that have equalled the support and exposure they have given drag racing since 1970. The special mini replica of the magazine on the dining tables will definitely become a collector’s piece. On behalf of the BDRHoF I thank both Custom Car and Real Steel for their support”.
