Talking Over 1,000 SEMA photos (and Optima Challenge)
Enjoy over 1,000 views that I experienced first hand at SEMA last week. The racing pics on the last few pages are from the Optima Batteries Ultimate Streetcar Challenge that was held on Saturday at the Spring Mountain driving school in Nevada.

Great pics, I loved the 75 TA and the pics do not do it justice; car was awesome.

Good to see the green chevelle on the road course - looked like an incomplete show car but glad to see it running.

Biggest disappointment for me was I only saw one 4th gen f-body at the show and it was the red vert in the GM collection.

There haven't been 4th gens for years now. Nobody wants a 2002 or older car at SEMA unless it is a vintage car or record-setting type car. 4th gens aren't highly regarded by anyone but us crazy guys

There are pics of the new FAST intake in there Fran.

Top 10 things at SEMA Brook? Look at the pics and decide for yourself. You will find way more than 10 things to drool over.

thats why I was asking for a short list. there are tons of really cool things there. It would be interesting to see someone make a top 10 list out of the hundreds of cool things. pics may not tell us everything.
