The team at A.R.E. is helping Tim Samaras, star of "Storm Chasers" on the Discovery Channel battle 100-mph winds and softball-size hail by providing the ultimate tornado-chasing truck—the A.R.E. TWISTEX Probe. The TWISTEX Probe is an ’08 GMC Sierra 3500 outfitted with A.R.E.’s Deluxe Commercial Unit (DCU) Series truck cap and numerous aftermarket accessories designed to increase the vehicle’s functionality in severe weather. A.R.E. also retrofitted the DCU truck cap with side toolboxes to fit Samaras’ smaller probes and customized it to accommodate a 1,500-lb. Tommy Gate Lift Gate on the rear of the truck. In addition, a variety of accessories have been added to enhance the truck’s overall functionality, including Pilot Automotive aluminum floor mats; laptop holders and accessories from Jotto Desk; a Hellwig Products suspension system; the Warn Industries Power Plant HD with a winch, an air compressor and a grille guard; Luverne Grip Step side-entry steps; a back-up camera and LCD monitor from SPAL USA; Goodyear Silent Armour tires; and auxiliary lighting from Hella Automotive Lighting. A.R.E. dealer Suburban Toppers (Denver, Colorado) installed the truck cap for Samaras, while Line-X of South Metro (Littleton, Colorado) provided the spray-on liner application and Mastercraft Truck Equipment (Englewood, Colorado) installed the Tommy Gate and other equipment. Samaras is currently using the A.R.E. TWISTEX Probe on tornado-chasing missions from the team’s home base in Colorado all the way to Texas, Indiana and even Canada, covering nearly 30,000 miles in the next two months. Footage from these trips will be featured in Season 4 of “Storm Chasers,” which premieres this fall on Discovery Channel.

  Mike Spagnola, Chris Kersting
  Last year, Street Scene President Mike Spagola (left), here with SEMA President/CEO Chris Kersting, shaved his head for charity after the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser. Is it Kersting's turn this year?

Mike Spagnola, president of Street Scene Equipment and a key SEMA Show ‘N Shine car show organizer, is encouraging all members of the industry to step up and answer SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting’s head-shaving challenge. Following the example of several principals from last year’s Show ‘N Shine and Pinewood Drag Races, including Spagnola and SEMA Cares Committee Chairman Joel Ayres, Kersting has agreed to shave his head to benefit the Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp children’s charities.

But Kersting has agreed to mow his locks only if industry folks can raise $10,000 by Friday.

“We need to do this,” Spagnola says, noting that Kersting’s shearing would happen following the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, Friday night, July 23—which leaves little time to commit your pledge!

“It’s summer, it’s hot, and it’s for a great cause," Kersting says. "It could be a scary sight. Maybe we need a competing challenge at $15,000 to NOT shave my head!"

If you’d like to contribute to these two children’s charities, or just want to see Chris in a snappy military cut, e-mail your pledge amount to triciaw@sema.org.
