     The SEMA  show in Las Vegas  is the trade show for the automotive industry.  Manufacturers from all aspects of the automotive field exhibit their latest and greatest products. This year HotRodHotLine.com exhibited as a publisher in  Hot Rod Alley and it  was quite an experience.  There is over 2 Million square feet of exhibit space for this show,  2000 exhibitors and over 100,000 attendees.  The show is open only to those who own or work for automotive related businesses�.. The general public is not admitted.  There are always many new products,  lots of really great concept and Featured Vehicles and of course all those great "car people"  We had a great time �.. Many people stopped by our booth to say "Hi" because they knew our site, and many stopped by to find out about us� It was a great show !

A big part of the SEMA experience are the various breakfasts and receptions.  This was the NHRA breakfast panel hosted by Dave McClelland and featuring Wally Parks, John Force and Don The Snake Prudhomme.
