Another successful SEMA Show came to a close in a way only the SEMA Show can, with a Friday night full of tire-shredding drifts, adrenaline-pumping burnouts and a stellar musical performance from three chart-topping bands during the third-ever SEMA Fest.
Together with headliners Queens of the Stone Age, The Black Crowes and Neon Trees treated SEMA Fest attendees to a trio of high-energy sets punctuated by high-horsepower motorsports activations, including demos from Hoonigan, Nitro Circus Moto Mayhem, HorsePower Rodeo, OPTIMA Unleashed and the Urias Family's Original Globe of Death.
The incredible combination of musical acts and heart-pounding automotive demonstrations provided Showgoers and Fest attendees with an unforgettable conclusion to the SEMA Show, including some fellow event organizers who traveled from Argentina to get a glimpse of the SEMA Show.
"We're really grateful to be here [at SEMA Fest]," said Ricardo Rafael, of La Oxidada, an annual car exhibition event in Saladillo near Buenos Aires, Argentina. "As event organizers, we can tell everything is perfect and organized."
"Here at SEMA Fest, we're delighted. Everyone is relaxed with a good vibe. All the people we've talked to are just in a good mood. I think with the cars drifting, nobody can be in a bad mood. You combine the drifting and the music, you have a perfect event," said Pilar Colmenero, also of La Oxidada. Both Rafael and Colmenero purchased their Fest tickets as part of the "SEMA Show Friday - Open to the Public" package, allowing them to walk the aisles of the industry's largest trade event earlier in the day.
