HOUSTON, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Dan Pastorini, former NFL Houston Oiler
quarterback is taking the only Lamborghini in the USA, the DP7 Racing
Lamborghini Gallardo GTR to the SEMA Show held at the Las Vegas Convention
Center, Las Vegas, NevadaNovember 4 - 7, 2008. As the premier automotive
specialty products trade event in the world, the show features more than
two-million square feet of exhibits.
As part of Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week in Las Vegas, the annual
SEMA show attracts the industry's brightest minds and hottest products,
drawing more than 120,000 industry leaders from 100 countries to the event.
Last year's show drew more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers.
"My first love has always been racing. However, football and racing are a
lot alike because you have a game plan, you give feedback to the crew chief,
and then he implements a race plan. There are windows of opportunity in both
sports," says Pastorini, "It's just knowing when to take your shots."
Pastorini is displaying his car at SEMA in an effort to attract
sponsorships for the DP7 Racing Lamborghini Gallardo GTR. He has assembled a
group of racing professionals from NASCAR, Indy Car and NHRA at the World
Challenge SPEED GT Series.
This electrifying team and exceptional one of a kind Lamborghini is
scheduled to be a part of the 2009 SCCA SPEED World Cup Challenge Series which
begins at the Sebring International Raceway in Florida on Thursday, March
12 -- Saturday, March 14, 2009
