Take home a Ibanez Guitar GAX70BKN autographed by Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big and Racer X.

Racer X is an American heavy metal band formed in 1985 in Los Angeles, California. The group was founded by guitarist Paul Gilbert—who later went on to achieve great success with the multi platinum-selling hard rock band Mr. Big—and bassist Juan Alderete, who is now the bassist for The Mars Volta.

With the release of the first album, Paul Gilbert suddenly burst into the mainstream as one of the members of a new genre of guitar style known as neoclassical, popularized by Randy Rhoads and Yngwie J. Malmsteen. While Racer X was not playing neo-classical pieces as frequently as Rhoads or Malmsteen, Gilbert was often mentioned alongside Yngwie and Randy in many guitar and music magazines.
