Howdy folks…well, as you already should know, it’s that time of the year again. This is the time where we reflect on the past and get a glimpse into the future…no we’re not talking about Thanksgiving…this is SEMA. Every year Automobile enthusiasts flock to the jewel in the desert, aka Las Vegas, NV, to see the hottest and most outrageous builds on the planet, and this year was no exception. This is by far one of our favorite times of the year, coming to SEMA to see who is doing what, and how it will help us in our quest for more power.
I must say; this year was probably the best SEMA show I’ve had the pleasure of attending, and it’s also our 5-year anniversary of covering the show. The car builds were on point and there were so many amazing vehicles that it was like a shooting gallery, everywhere I turned there was, “another one.” My trigger finger was tired from all the shooting going down. As usual you had the Ford Experience in front of the convention center with a few of the pro drift guys killing some tires and some trophy trucks grabbing some air. But cruising through the halls was where I spent a majority of my time and you’ll see why when you check out the images we captured. Closing the show out with the Formula Drift Ignited after-party was a sight to see, I can’t believe this was our first time experiencing it, but it won’t be the last. Thank you SEMA show, attendees, and vendors, we’ll see you again next year.
