LIVE FROM SEMA 2009 . . .

LAS VEGAS--For the first time ever, Source Interlink Magazines and Ford Motor Company invited twenty-five ordinary citizens to experience the 2009 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show and blog their impressions as to the hottest new trends in the aftermarket.

Speedzzter is one of the invitees!

Covering SEMA is like taking a sip from a fire hose. Everywhere you turn, there's something new, different and hot. The SEMA Show also allows unprecidented access to industry leaders and the scoop on many of the hottest new products.

I'm heading back to the show floor.  Hopefully we'll get some content up on the web soon.

(BTW, sorry DR511scj -- I haven't seen any BBF Turbo kits (yet).

Nor have I seen Hot Rod honcho David Freiburger or Jeff Smith or the other CC eds.  

Some of the big news so far --

--GMPP's emissions-legal 550 h.p. engine (they claim its legal for any pre-OBDII

--2010 Mustang Cobra Jet drag car (officially unveiled at the Ford booth)

--Raptor XT racing truck.

--Galpin Auto is building a "new" '69 Mustang during the SEMA SHOW.

The SEMA Show is wrapping up . . .

Lots of cool new products in the new products showcase (too bad I somehow lost most of my product scans e-mailed to me    . . . and none of the photo links seem to work on the ones I did receive).
