Create Your Own Performance Art Contest
The Bosch ‘Create Your Own Performance Art’ Contest featured an online drifting game. Players piloted a replica of Vaughn Gittin, Jr.’s Bosch-powered Ford Mustang to create their own Performance Art and post it to the online gallery at www.boschperfomranceart.com. Vaughn Gittin, Jr. chose a winner from among the entries posted each month. A total of four winners in the contest each received a signed Performance Art canvas art from Vaughn Gittin, Jr. and a Bosch cap. The winners were:
• Brent Parker - Round Lake, IL
