Comprised of automotive aftermarket professionals who are passionate about the advancement of the industry, select committee volunteers work alongside industry professionals from different market segments to provide valuable programs, events, education opportunities and other resources for the council or network membership.

Select Committee nominations for SEMA councils and networks are now open at sema.org/volunteer. Members of the select committees serve within the council or network leadership and play a vital role in strategically aligning council initiatives with current member and industry needs.

Comprised of automotive aftermarket professionals who are passionate about the advancement of the industry, select committee volunteers work alongside industry professionals from different market segments to provide valuable programs, events, education opportunities and other resources for the council or network membership.

“The SEMA Council and Network program is dependent on volunteer select committee members to represent their respective market and professional niches,” said Nathan Ridnouer, SEMA Vice President of Councils and Membership. “It is through their knowledge and expertise that we are able to develop valuable and relevant new programs that truly help the industry and our members’ businesses.”

Nomination criteria include being employed by a current SEMA member company, being a current member of the council or network that the nominee would represent, and a dedicated commitment to serving a two-year minimum term.

While councils work to identify related business goals, issues and challenges for member companies in a particular market segment, networks are a platform for individuals within a SEMA-member company who share a common interest or characteristic.

If you would like to nominate yourself or someone who has the skills and character to influence industry progress, fill out the online council’s nomination form. Nominations must be received by midnight April 6, 2020. The select committee elections will take place in late April.

Here’s a prototype of the ’21 Ford Bronco Sport testing virtually undisguised. The photos show some details that the images leaked out earlier this month didn't show.

The signature boxy design features an upright front fascia with Bronco headlight clusters, with a round headlight joined by a horizontal element. The grille is wrapped in camo on this tester, but we already know that it will have "BRONCO" spelled out in the center. The front fascia is clearly configured in a way so as to maximize the approach angle, as clearly seen from the profile angle.

The long and flat hood joins up to blacked-out pillars. Meanwhile, the roof—complete with roof rails—has a slight “step up” behind the B-pillar area, which is something we haven't seen before. There's also that raised body line after the C-pillar, giving this baby Bronco a look that’s somewhat reminiscent of older Land Rovers.

The rear end of the ’21 Bronco Sport features a top-hinged liftgate followed by a pair of taillights with an LED outline. Like the front, the rear appears to be optimized for a capable departure angle. Gray 17-in. wheels with a double spoke design round out the package.

When he was a young man racing his own cars, Ed Iskenderian—or as he was later nicknamed, “Camfather”—had trouble buying racing-grind camshafts. He didn’t like to wait for them. So, he said to himself, “I can make those….” And that was the start of Iskenderian Racing Cams, popularly known as “Isky Cams,” one of the largest specialty cam grinders in America. Here’s the Camfather talking about when he first fell in love with hot rodding.

Isky Cams developed the first high-density, chilled-iron lifters for Top Fuel dragsters, and was also responsible for the first anti-cam-walk kit for Chevy V8s and the first offset cam keys and bushings for adjusting cam timing. Iskenderian was part of the small group that created SEMA, and was its first president. Additionally, he is a member of Chevrolet’s Legends of Performance.
