20th Annual Silent Auction

Motorsports Ministries will be conducting its 20th Annual Silent Auction during the 58th Annual Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring Presented by Fresh From Florida. The date will be March 17-20, 2010. The past auctions have been a great success and a lot of fun. We are once again asking for and collecting items for this year’s auction.

Items desired include team uniform clothing (shirts, jackets, hats, etc.), driver suits and helmets, racing memorabilia, pins, patches, artwork and photography (signed if possible), racing parts of interest, products or services of your company, and any other items that may be of interest to racing fans. This is a great way to clean out and reduce old inventory.

Epic Stories
