Dan Pastorini, former NFL Houston Oiler quarterback is taking the unique DP7 Racing Lamborghini Gallardo GTR to the SEMA Show held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada November 4 - 7, 2008. As the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world, the show features more than two-million square feet of exhibits.

As part of Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week in Las Vegas, the annual SEMA show attracts the industry's brightest minds and hottest products, drawing more than 120,000 industry leaders from 100 countries to the event. Last year's show drew more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers.

"My first love has always been racing. However, football and racing are a lot alike because you have a game plan, you give feedback to the crew chief, and then he implements a race plan. There are windows of opportunity in both sports," says Pastorini, "It's just knowing when to take your shots."

Pastorini is displaying his car at SEMA in an effort to attract sponsorships for the DP7 Racing Lamborghini Gallardo GTR. He has assembled a group of racing professionals from NASCAR, Indy Car and NHRA at the World Challenge SPEED GT Series. This electrifying team and exceptional one of a kind Lamborghini is scheduled to be a part of the 2009 SCCA SPEED World Cup Challenge Series which begins at the Sebring International Raceway in Florida on Thursday, March 12 — Saturday, March 14, 2009.
