Unfortunately, I didn't make the SEMA show this year. There had to be a number of lifted LMM's there with different setups? Anyone got any pictures?

I didn't make it either. Me and my buddy got stuck behind a shop in bakersfield on GOS's list for tickets. Hopefully next year...

talked to chad from alligator performance out in vegas , and he said it wasn't all that this year...i think its the economy on how its doing so bad, and makes everyone including the vendors not being able to make it out to sema...IMO

I went. It was alright, nothing like the previous years, and nothing really stood out at me this year. There were a bunch of LMMs though. I'll post some pics soon. Chad and I went monday and a couple buddies and I went tuesday and wednesday. Saw quite a few familar faces and had some good times after the show at night. All and all it was something fun to do.

I thought it was a bit boring this year, not much in the way of innovation, just a few products that were unveiled by Edge and Bully Dog to replace aging platforms. No major products that caught my eye this year at all, and that was the most dissapointing. I wasn't expecting much, and received about what I expected. Hopefully next year things will get better, with the economy and with up and coming parts...

The one thing that I did see everywhere this year was Rolling Big Power Grilles on every available truck in the show, they definitely made a presence this year. ORU had two bitchen straight axle LMM's at the show, one was fully caged with a pre-runner stance. PPE was also a big presence this year, they had at least 6 vehicles/boats in the show and many more wearing their logo.

However, it was nice to see some old faces and put faces to names that I have never met before. Hope to see everyone next year.

how would a non-dealer or non-industry guy get tickets? i would love to go next year. we were in vegas last year for our anniversary at the same time as the show. all the trucks and cars were rolling in on the day we left. the wife and i talked about going back next year about the same time due to the weather and anniv again. i would really like to score passes or tickets to go.

I agree, it wasn't that impressive this year. I even noticed it was less-crowded than previous years and even the casino's were dead at night. Just not as many people as in the past. Maybe everybody was depressed about the election. Nor-Cal Nick's dually was bad-ass. But, I did get a picture with Layla from Deal or No Deal and I had a nice conversation with Courtney Hansen while we were walking outside. So in the end, it was a good show.

I don't know of any way to do it beside knowing someone in the industry. They give each company so many tickets, just gotta get buddy buddy with someone who gets them.
