Just wondering if anybody was going to the Sema show next month? I will be there on the 31st. It will be my first time to Vegas and it should be fun.

 

Diggler, I'll be there, and my truck will be on display, feel free to check it out, it'll have an f150online sticker on it


I'd offer to show you around Vegas, I've only been there about a dozen times, but I'll be broke as usual this year, LOL.

 

I will also be there, Covering the show for www.truckblog.com!



Matt, better watch your bed this year

 

So do non-sponsored trucks/cars that "display" just park outside or something and then all the big dawgs get space inside? Whenever I see pics from the show they tend to be inside...

And can any Joe just enter and show their ride off?

 

I'll be there...covering the show for Truckblog.

No, wait. I'll be there covering it for F150online.

Look for me at one of the many bars at the Mandalay Bay...tek can attest to the quality of the surroundings...

 

I am going to Vegas Sunday for a week...what are the dates of the show?

 

11/1 to 11/5

 

And are you going to post a lot of pics for us? All the cool stuff we all would like on are trucks, that no one knows about yet.

 

That's the master plan. Of course, since many of those items nobody knows about are actually announced at the show...you may here about them a few hours before I get to post pictures.

 

Lumadar, to answer your question, no, average joes can't just get their vehicle in the show. You have two options. A company with a booth there can put your vehicle in their booth (booths cost several thousand dollars, which is why the "best of the best" vehicles are at this show). The other option is a company there with a booth, can put your truck out in front for $300. Again, thats a lot of money to just put some crap truck/car in... LOL.

 

How much does it cost for an average joe like me to stroll around and look at all the booths? Ticket price?

 

Technically, the show is trade-only. But you can go to http://www.semashow.com and register even if you are not a member of SEMA. You just have to demonstrate you are in the auto industry in some capacity. The cost to register prior to the show is $15.

 

If I say that I work at ..... Joe Bob's Performance shop... I can get in?

I REALLY want to go!.. Next year.

 

As long as you have a business card that matches your company name that you registered under, I doubt you'd have a problem. (I think) SEMA is the 2nd largest show in Lost Wages now. There are a LOT of people there that are obviously enthusiasts and not trade folks.

 

Steve,

Send me your info (cell and hotel) and I will add you to our excel file.

Yes, Mandalay bay.....oh what a night

Edit:

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but this year "security" is more strict. They are asking for a business license and stuff this year. Pre-registration is now closed (it was extended an extra week last week) and it cost $50 at the door.
