Winter Rod and Speed Show

“The 2010 Winter Rod and Speed Benefit Car Show is Saturday, January 23 at the Linn County Expo Center in Albany, Oregon. This family-oriented, carnival-like benefit vehicle show is for Cherokee Pizano.

Cherokee is a 14 year old girl from Salem, Oregon who has Osteo Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. She is currently undergoing radiation treatments at Dornbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland. Cherokee and her mother are homeless.

The show could be the biggest in its three year history. The Winter Rod and Speed Show will feature the original cars from the movie American Graffiti, the $100,000 “Judge” GTO, the classic Veney’s Vega funny car, and the debut of the new Ashwell Racing Mustang funny car. In addition, there will muscle cars, street rods, custom trucks, motorcycles, drag boats, and classics.”
