They should have the SEMA show in Houston. Our car shows suck.

shelleys_man_06-- you should try to make it .. it'll be my first time and I'm going with a bunch of E46 people (no rx8 ppl have showed interest in the bay area) .. but it'll be good to run into a few rotaryheads from the rx8 forums.

From the SEMA website concerning Mazda:

"Featuring MAZDASPEED functional, performance, appearance-enhancing parts for Mazda products (including a unique display of 2004 MAZDASPEED RX-8 components), numerous other high-performance vehicles, and welcoming SEMA members and manufacturers to discuss performance parts opportunities with this exciting, growing lineup."

I'm coming down for Thursday and Friday. Most likely staying at the MGM Grand. Where is everyone else staying?

I thought you had to be in the industry to go to sema.

It is open to the public?

Not exactly, I'm going as a non-buyer representing an association.

From the site it says: "The SEMA Show and AAPEX are trade events and only qualified members of the automotive aftermarket industry are permitted to attend. "

Who went last year, and how did you get in?

If you attend as a non-buyer spectator, you can get in for $50 a day.

UPDATE: Last year they did this, but now I am told that this year they will not.

I going to plan B, read below...

I e-mailed them, and here is what they had to say:

"If you are an attendee then you must work in the automotive industry. You may apply online at www.semashow.com. It is $10 to enter for the entire weekend if in fact you register online and before October 22, 2004.

Thank you,

So, can we or can't we enter?

I have two connections at Ford I am working on for passes, but I have not heard back yet from both of them.
