Project 1320 to Appear at the Detroit Auto Show

Parma Heights, Ohio – Quarter Mile Entertainment Foundation, producers of the PROJECT 1320 documentary series about drag racing history has been provided space at the famed O’Reilly Auto Parts Detroit Autorama presented by Meguir’s, held at the Cobo Center in the heart of downtown Detroit, February 26-28.

Graciously providing the Quarter Mile Entertainment Foundation with display space is “Top Hat” John Jendza, who will be displaying his acclaimed 1949 Cadillac “Bad Cad Zeu$” on the main show floor. Jendza, of Mt. Clemens, Mich., is a well-known automotive and drag racing historian, and a hard-core hot rodder.

Jendza, in collaboration with Detroit Autorama event chairman, Dick Forton, worked to secure the space for the Foundation.

Traci Hrudka, Foundation Chairman said, “The Foundation truly appreciates the effort that Dick and John put forth to afford us the opportunity to tell the PROJECT 1320 story to the legions of hot rod and racing enthusiasts who attend this legendary event every year.

“We are very certain we’ll see tremendous support from the crowd. Many attendees worked with a number of the drag racing legends from the Detroit area (on both sides of the border), and watched racing history unfold at the Detroit Dragway, Milan Dragway, U.S. 131, Motor City, Nicks 41, Mid-Michigan, and strips in Michigan, plus surrounding states. We look forward to a great weekend!”

The Detroit Autorama comes on the heels of a highly successful weekend at the 50th Annual NHRA Winternationals (February 12-14) at Pomona, Calif., where the PROJECT 1320 display was a very busy spot in the “Golden 50 Corral” area with many iconic race cars and drivers.
