By SEMA Editors

SEMA Show Exhibitor REDTAIL Telematics (Booth #11971) has launched a worldwide promotion called the Ultimate Road Mileage Challenge. Fifty competitors will be chosen from entries submitted to www.mileagechallenge.redtailtelematics.com.

Contestants will plug the REDTAIL Telematics GPS device into their vehicle's cigarette lighter or 12-volt adapter. Throughout October, REDTAIL will track their mileage on its website Leaderboard, and put a pin in the world map to roughly indicate their position.

The day before the 2015 SEMA Show opens, the winner will be chosen and notified, so they can pick up their ‘big check’ in the REDTAIL booth on the first day of the Show.

According to Anna Amoresano, REDTAIL VP of Marketing, “SEMA is the ideal show for REDTAIL to connect with authorized resellers looking for a growing company offering state-of-the-art GPS products for families and fleets of between one and one-million vehicles. Ask any of our satisfied customers. Our veteran sales organization in the field can answer all your questions, but we're also looking forward to meeting with you in person in our SEMA Booth #11971.”
