POMONA, Calif. - A total of $120,553 was collected at Friday's special auction held in memory of the late John Myers. Myers, a three-time NHRA Winston Pro Stock Motorcycle champion, was killed in a non-racing motorcycle accident in early August near his home in Birmingham, Ala.

All money raised at the auction goes to the John Myers Memorial Fund.

John Force was the auction's biggest spender with a $48,500 contribution. Force purchased Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme's Custom Chrome Harley Davidson motorcycle as featured in Hot Rod Magazine for $40,000. In addition, Force purchased a picture of Prudhomme sitting on the Harley, a wall hanging quilt of John Myers made by Louise McClelland and a signed piece of sheet metal from one of Richard Petty's NASCAR Winston Cup stock cars.
