I just finished processing some snap shots from the recent SEMA show and thought I would share them with you all . Many would like to make this show as it is the " promised " land for any gear head but it is not open to the general public . These photos should give you some idea as to what goes on and is on display. Please bear with some of the fuzzy shots and haphazard layouts as I am only working with a pocket digital and it is a ***** dodging people to try and get a clear shot . In any event here is SEAM 2008

I found this odd looking car at the show that I thought you might find interesting . It is from a little known form of racing F something or other . I dont know how it will ever become popular though as apparently they turn left AND right ? Oh well I thought I would put a few shots up for you all .
Randy












Notice they replaced the ultra expensive real disconnect wheel with a less expensive model. That would have been a hell of a souviner!

Back to more " normal " cars in a bit .
