POMONA, Calif. - Mounds and mounds of toys for the underprivileged were collected Wednesday night at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California.  The annual toy drive focused this year on gifts for teenage girls, but the Museum, Cal Rods and many volunteers provided toys for all those in need.  Here's our photo salute to the final Prolong® Twilight Cruise Night of the 2007 season, as the Budweiser® Celebrity Pickers made their choices for cars that will get a parade lap at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona.

Cal Rods' Car Club once again came through for the Inter-City Volunteers, as "Santa" helps load the truck full of gifts.  Inside the Museum, a human chain of Cal Rod volunteers helped take the gifts on their way to the underprivileged youth of the Pomona valley.
