Dave Mirra is coming to town. That is if you live in Chandler. Dave will be meeting and greeting people who will make it to the Chandler Superstore which is based around cars, but that doesn't mean he isn't looking forward to meet up with BMX riders. Here is the info around the event for this upcoming Sunday 13 November:
The Chandler superstore will host the 2011 "Battle of the Brands" car show, for Honda, Acura and Subaru owners, concurrently. The event gives car owners the opportunity to showcase their one-of-a-kind vehicle.
Food, prizes, music, raffles, and a silent auction with proceeds benefitting S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions) will take place.
Dave Mirra became a pro BMX rider in 1992 and holds the record for the most X-Games gold medals. He is one of the world's best-known Action Sports athletes and is credited with bringing freestyle BMX into the mainstream with his success. Dave became a Subaru Rally Team USA driver in late 2007 and has since been successful in Rally car racing as well. In addition to his riding and racing career, Mirra has his own BMX video game and has made several television appearances, including host of Real World/Road Rules Challenge on MTV.
He will be signing autographs and meeting fans at the Subaru Superstore dealership during the "Battle of the Brands" Car Show from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Judging for the competition begins at 10 a.m. and is based on five categories: Vintage, Stock, Modified, Unlimited, and Full Race. First-, second-, and third-place trophies will be awarded, as well as recognition from all attendees.
The final competition will be between the winners of each category from Honda against the winners of each category from Subaru. It will be a head-to-head, "Battle of the Brands" match-up.
Raffles will be held every hour for prizes, gift cards, accessories, and more. The Chandler Fire and Police Department, McGruff the Crime Dog, and Miss DJ MJ from Power 98.3 will also be in attendance.
Registration is available now online at Santanhonda.com or Shopsubaru.com.
