RICH EVANS AND SKULL KING RETURN TO NHRA EVENTS AT LAS VEGAS AND POMONA 
Rock  Hill,  S.C. - (October 19, 2006) At the  National Hot Rod Association 
(NHRA) Sonoma event in July, Huntington Beach  Bodyworks owner Rich Evans and 
his Skull  King creation festooned the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Box/Ringers Glove 
Shack  on the Manufacturer’s Midway.  Evans  and Skull King will return to 
the  final two races of the 2006 NHRA season at Las  Vegas and Pomona (Calif.). 
Originally scheduled to  appear only at Sonoma and Pomona, Evans will be in 
Las Vegas for the SEMA Show,  where the Skull King and Black Knight will be on 
display at his  different sponsors booths (the Black  Knight will be featured 
at the Chicago Pneumatic booth), at the Las Vegas  Convention Center the 
following week and decided he wanted to take some nitro in  prior to the world 
finals at the Auto Club Raceway at  Pomona. 
“My first NHRA event  allowed me to become more in tune with the world of 
drag racing,�?? stated  Evans.  “I come from the hot rod and  motorcycle world and 
being at Sonoma allowed me to interact with some of the  drivers, where I 
developed a new friendship with Tony Pedregon, which in turn,  is allowing some 
of my designs to start breaking into that  market.�?? 
Pedregon asked Evans  to paint a couple helmets for him this year; one of 
which is Pedregon’s own  design and the other, Evans’ special creation.  Evans 
also looks forward to painting the  Q Racing pit cart for the 2007 season. 
Since Sonoma, Evans has been  filming a new show called Building with  the 
Best: Featuring Rich Evans and Gene Winfield.  He has also been taping the build 
of his  new project, Black Knight, working on  his new line of custom wheels 
and preparing for the release of Succubus – Hell Bent, a movie starring  Gary 
Busey in which he drives Evans’ Skull King. 
Evans, a custom hot  rod designer, builder and painter, founded Huntington 
Beach Bodyworks in 1992  out of his personal garage.  After  some trials and 
tribulations with his business in the beginning, fate dealt him  a second chance 
allowing him to create a successful million dollar custom design  empire that 
now operates out of a building that resembles a medieval-style  castle. 
Evans utilizes a  unique airbrushing system that appears to be tattooed on 
the bodies of the  vehicles he fabricates and designs. 
Some of the projects  that Evans has created include the aforementioned 
projects, as well as the  Meguiar Semi Truck, Electric Queen, Urban Assault and 
Liberty.
