Beyond the cars, attendees will also have access to automotive clothing and parts sales, a (female) model runway and lounge, media shoots, guest speakers, raffles and DJ entertainment.

“AutoCon has developed into a valued client for us and they put on a great show,” said Pete Siberell, Santa Anita Director of Community Services & Special Projects.  “This year’s event should be their best one yet and there’s going to be something for everyone with the food trucks, music and everything automotive here in one location.  They have scheduled 21 of these type events nationwide and we’re happy to be a part of something of this magnitude.

“We’ll also be open for satellite wagering on Saturday from Del Mar and Saratoga, so we hope some of these folks will mix some horses with their cars.  It should be a lot of fun.”

Siberell also noted that AutoCon’s stable of 19 professional models for 2012 will be on h
and, including Miss AutoCon, Holly Lee.
