SEMA 2014 - Newbie Questions

[68LS1]

Original post lost

With the 70 Camaro project now progressing, I was considering attending SEMA this year for interior ideas, products and such. This would be first visit to SEMA (but not LV )

I'm looking for suggestions from experienced SEMA folk on what to do while there, and what other car events are on following SEMA.

Ideas on how to source an admittance ticket.

Those here on Lat-G who will be attending, as I would like to catch up with as many as possible (will there be a Lat=G get together again?).

From the previous post I believe there is an Optima Challenge in LV on the Saturday which is a must do.
Also there is a Goodguys event in Scottsdale the following weekend?

Any info appreciated
