If you want to see the girls, start in the wheels and tires...

Otherwise just start outside and then go inside, take a deep breath and pick an isle and start walking, you won't get far before you see something or someone cool..

If you have a map and an idea of who you want to see, that's a good place to start, but you still have to start down some isle to who knows where..

Just get started walking, by thursday you'll know who you need to look for and what you for got to see.

Wheels and tires is the most crazy, but if you can handle the crowd go for it.

by the way don't get caught in the back of any of the halls at closing, it's a very long walk to any where of civilization, don't ask how I know.

I've been twice and i've still never made it the whole way round & each time I was there for 3 days lol
I always leave the truck building till last as they don't interest me as much,
study the map and floor plan and try to prioritize before you get there
it is overwhelming and easy to get side tracked by ladies with posters
also lost some time watching those crazy rock climbers and the drifting
good luck
jason
p.s I can't go this year so every has to post pics asap

I have been hearing from fellow co-workers that are at SEMA already that there are some big name companies that aren't there this year.

Yeah BFG and Procharger are the 2 biggies I know of.

Plus Ford downsized their booth inside. My buddies huge F-450 is outside a separate Ford booth.

Wow! I can't believe BFG pulled out.....

I heard that domestic attendance is down but international is way up this year...of course with the dollar worth less it makes sense.


Well, it's going to be a good time regardless..... A couple more hours here at the shop then I pack and get ready to head out there in the early AM! See you guys at the show

Well we are here and we have a booth in hot rod alley and we are busier this year than last year so I dont believe all the talk about it being down. I think for the most part things are well and people are still looking to buy and build cars.
