The SEMA Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) concluded the Council's first-ever HRIA Education Days appearance at the Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals earlier this month on July 12-13. Seven hot rod parts manufacturers led seminars that provided valuable information regarding their product lines, as well as best practices for installing, working with, and choosing certain products. If you weren't able to attend the Goodguys sessions, make sure to join us for another round of sessions at the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, August 1-2.
