Once again, I will be at SEMA this year.
I was just wondering if anyone here will be there.

Let me know, maybe we can hook up.

George,

You need to post a little earlier! It looks like I may have a trip out to Vegas but I already have something else scheduled for the first week of November when SEMA is happening. :thumbdwn: Well, there's always next year...
 
I'll be going again.

I looked up to see who will be there.
1) Tony Steward (use to race Pontiac Grand Prixs, and IROC Firebirds, as well as drove the 2002 Collector's Edition Trans Am Pace car, to teach Jay Leno).
2) Johnny Rutherford (1980 winner of the Indy 500, won a 1980 Indy Turbo Trans Am Pace Car)
3)AJ (from TV, who just built a 1968 Firebird)
4)Del Worsham (use to race NHRA Firebirds)
5)Linda Vaughn (NHRA Hurst Girl, who also posed by a 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am for a trading card)
6) Richard Petty (NASCAR driver, who raced Pontiac Grand Prixs)
And a few others.
Can you guess that I'll be collecting autographs yet again, with photos of them and me?
Yep, I'll be having them all sign my diecast!
Lisa will be with me on the third day (It's a 4 day event).

I tell ya, ya gotta go!

.... for what its worth I normally go for the more serious side of life.... also truely love Vegas.. probably more so then Detroit as a place to actually set up shop and live.... but with the currency cross rates and the spikes & dips in the economny right now.... just not worth it going .. rather spend US$5000 on product or maybe alot of good port... :-)
 
Is the SEMA show open to the public or do you need to be with a company buying or selling auto parts?
 
You have to be related to the auto industry somehow.
I know alot of people here are, and have gone before.

.. entry . .its all about money especially this year as attendances are down.. ..but just rollup .. show a business card.. pretty much any card you can even make one... pay your $40 or so bucks.. fill in the form, some related industry.. PR, accounting software, computor programs, employee medical fund (one that does not screw you).. a car club magazine editor or contributor..., No children. Las Vegas Convertion Centre or Sands CC. Worth going to.. .. wear comfortable shoes and travel light, get there early in the week and take in a few of the related Talk Fest's.. some are very interesting and encouraging. Accommodation.. can be VERY overpriced in the centre of the strip.. so if able.. get accommodatoin in the suburbs, plenty of motel 6 & 8 etc with sensible simple rates.

Alittle bit harder than just showing a business card.
Rules got much stricter in the last few years.
