Is anyone going to this? It is supposed to be the biggest aftermarket car parts show in the world and an Aladdins cave for bits to bolt on and modify your car!

Plus it is in Vegas, which is nice...

I expect a large pile of "goodies" brochures once you return

Steve - I won't be going but if it's a help (for info etc) contact Ernie Aguilar at ernie@lovecars.com and his web site is www.lovecars.com.
He's a known visitor to some UK vette-nuts from the US.
He's quite involved with SEMA and regularly shows at least 2 projects of his own at the venue.
He's a great guy and his web site is worth a check!
Tell him I sent you, see if he remembers me.

Contacted Ernie - got a v. pleasant reply and, Yes, he does remember you John. Hoping to hook up with him when I am over there. It will be good to sort of know someone over there!!!!

I am in Vegas for 3 days but he tells me that the two days I have allocated to visit the show won't be enough. Apparently the exhibition is 18 miles long. Not too sure what that really means but it must be v. big.

Steve - I'm pleased. If you've not met big Ern, he's a total gent, you've got a treat in store, as Mr Gamsa would be only to ready to attest to.
I'm certain you'll have a great time, if any of Ernie's pictures of prior SEMA's are anything to go by.
Not to mention the rubber-necking.

The downside, you're feet won't work afterwards.
