Trucks Also to Benefit SEMA Cares Charities through Pinewood Drag Race Event

The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, bought and built three pinewood derby trucks to benefit the SEMA Cares charitable organization. The trucks, each sponsored by one of AAM’s retail marketing programs, were raced alongside other entrants in the Pinewood Derby that was held directly before the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser last Friday in Pomona, Calif.

In a special tie-in, AAM dedicated each of the trucks to one of this year’s three new SEMA Hall of Fame inductees: Matt Agosta, Chip Foose, and Gary Hooker. The truck numbers—07, 29, and 16—commemorated the date of the event. Agosta, Foose, and Hooker were on hand to run their trucks down the track, and were presented with them afterward to additionally recognize their contributions to the industry.

“AAM has long supported the SEMA Pinewood Derby and the charities it benefits,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “This year we saw a great opportunity to use our cars to further recognize some of our industry’s heroes on our cars, as the derby coincides with their recognition. We had a great deal of fun with the design and build and hope the cars added a little color to the event.”

Holley: Vintage Series Tall-Fin Valve Covers for GM LS Engines

Use This Post Clip for Email

Coming in September, the Vintage series of valve covers for LS engines leverage Holley’s existing tall LS valve covers, but with a finned design that eliminates the coil-on-cover look (remote coil-relocation solutions to coincide with launch). This change gives your engine bay a classic, retro look.

An extra 0.54” of internal clearance over factory-height valve covers allows for the taller dimensions and contributes to a more muscular profile. To accommodate its customers’ personal style, Holley is making four finishes available:

  • Natural Cast (ready for custom paint)
  • Polished
  • Lightly textured Satin Black
  • Chevy Orange

Vintage series valve covers are designed to fit LS1/2/3/6/7 engines, and they are packaged to install with an OE-style baffle and ventilation system, lengthened factory-style mounting hardware, and a billet aluminum oil fill cap. Holley encourages users to reuse or replace the flange gaskets specific to their applications.

Features

  • Eliminates coil-on-cover look.
  • Classic, vintage appeal with taller fins.
  • Four finishes available: Natural Cast, Polished, Satin Black, and Chevy Orange.
  • Coming in September!
