During the SEMA Show, meet automotive media personality and racing fan Courtney Hansen at the SEMA Action Network’s (SAN) RPM Act-themed display. She’ll appear Thursday, November 3, from 12:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m., at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth #60003 (outside Central Hall).

Automotive media personality and racing fan Courtney Hansen will once again be the SEMA Action Network’s (SAN) guest at the 2016 SEMA Show. Those attending can meet Courtney on Thursday, November 3, from 12:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m., at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth #60003 (outside Central Hall).

In addition to meeting and greeting attendees, she will promote the SAN’s support of the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports (RPM) Act. The bipartisan bill pending in the U.S. Congress—the RPM Act—makes it clear that modifying a street vehicle used solely for competition is legal and beyond the reach of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. 

Stop by to contact your members of Congress and have your photo taken with Courtney. Michele Abbate’s SCCA Championship-winning Scion FR-S will also be featured. It will stand as a visual symbol for Show attendees of the types of vehicles and equipment that would directly benefit from enactment of the RPM Act into law.
