Setting a new trend this year! - Lateral-g Forums

Notice: SEMA is more than just show cars this year!

OK, that should set the stage. Brian Finch, Yancy Johns and myself are driving our cars to SEMA this year. I can not share all the details yet, but we are driving from Tennessee, all cars will be in the SEMA show, and all will do the Optima Battery Challenge. There will be magazine coverage on this "Ultimate Roadtrip", maybe more than one!

We would love others to join in the trip, especially if you have the nads to actually drive your car, but we will let trailer queens in too. We will be traveling mostly on I-40 so if you would like to join in, just let us know either in this tread or pm.

This should be one fun trip, with lots of stories to tell afterwards. We all brag about our "Protouring" cars, who else will step up and prove they own one?

For those wondering, we will have a chase vehicle, to haul out a change of tires for the event, etc. Plus, you never know, there may be carnage.....lol

We're interested! Just will all depend on the amount of time we get on Ty's car prior to SEMA!!
Even though I fear the worst happening on the way out, it's just my luck!!!

Sounds like a fun time Bill. Look forward to seeing you there and seeing some video and pictures. Valentine 1 should be worn out by the time you arrive, LOL.

Very cool! Many people do not have the stones to do what your doing. Good luck!

Yeah, I-40 all the way from Sevierville to Kingsman, Az, then right on hwy99 I think straight into Vegas.
I will be in the freshly finished 72 Charger I have been working on for a couple years.
