This year's show goes Tue - Fri. 11-2 thru 11-5-04. Most celebs show up early in the week , John Force, Mario A. etc. You'll need a pre-arranged ticket & show a photo ID to get in. It also might be possible to buy tix at registration (?), check out Sema.org
The best exhibits are of course Racing & Performance main hall, Wheel & Tire (really T & A bling show) hall, and the entire place is just dripping with techno dazzle everywhere ! Our exhibit is #20610, if you're at the show--stop in ...

Don't bet on red.....go see John P at the bar at the Monte Carlo......hookers aren't legal in Vegas.....the bimbos in bikinis ain't free or easy....914s are NARPs just like down the road.....the cops suck just like other towns.....when ya gotta pee....use a place with a door.....booze goes down easier there....don't take yer girlfriend or you'll end up in front of Elvis and he will be a Justice of the Piece....or have a Piece and will shoot yer ass....

I actually made it but not without problems. My benz's voltage regulator gave out late Wed night and I had to spend the night in Bakersfield. Easy fix but lost alot of time.
It was nice to meet "Maltese Falcon" at the MSDS booth. Didn't get a chance to have a with John but I will return...
Renegade is starting development on a Subaru STI and GM LS1 conversion. Hmmm, must have been motivated by the tuners at the show. A fantastic show and highly recommended for the auto enthusiast. Lot's of shiney big wheels, show girls, and loud stereo but still a great show. I liked some of the concept cars, coach builders, tools, neat parts....
