It’s a new era for the kit-car industry! Last year, a law was enacted to permit car manufacturers to produce turn-key replica vehicles for customers nationwide. When fully implemented, this new law will allow U.S. companies to make and sell classic-themed vehicles that were virtually impossible to build under the previous one-size-fits-all regulatory framework. Replica cars resemble production vehicles manufactured at least 25 years ago. Learn how low-volume production car companies and those that supply equipment and components can take advantage of this unique opportunity. The seminar will provide an opportunity for experts to explain the law and for manufacturers and suppliers to ask questions about how they can take advantage of this new marketplace.

When: Thursday, November 3, 2016, 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Where: Las Vegas Convention Center, Upper North Hall, N254

Panel:

  • Stuart Gosswein, SEMA
  • Russ Deane, SEMA General Counsel
  • Jim McFarland, SEMA Technical Consultant
  • David Smith, Factory Five Racing
  • Lance Stander, Superformance 
  • Lance Tunick, Vehicle Services Consulting Inc.

The WD-40/SEMA Cares 50th Anniversary Camaro will make its debut at the 2016 SEMA Show in Las Vegas the first week of November before it gets auctioned off in 2017.

WD-40 Company has partnered with SEMA Cares to build a custom ’67 Chevrolet Camaro in celebration of both the SEMA Show’s and the Camaro’s 50th anniversaries.

The WD-40/SEMA Cares 50th Anniversary Camaro will make its debut at the 2016 SEMA Show in Las Vegas the first week of November before it gets auctioned off in 2017. Featured as the official 50th Anniversary Vehicle of the SEMA Show, it will also be the lead vehicle in the SEMA Cruise, which concludes the Show on Friday, November 4.  

Proceeds from the vehicle’s sale will go to Childhelp—an organization that provides services to abused and neglected children—and the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to students entering the automotive aftermarket.  

The Camaro project was designed by noted car builder Neil Tjin and built in partnership with Tjin and instructors from Universal Technical Institute. The engine, transmission, suspension, wheels and tires will be installed on PowerNation TV. The entire build will showcase how WD-40 Company products are used by automotive professionals in their restoration and customization projects.  

Build partners that have donated product for use on the Camaro include Eckler’s, Budnik Wheels, Axalta, Eibach, Falken Tires, Baer Brake Systems, LR Auto Body and Optima Batteries.

Through the SEMA Emissions Compliance Center, staff can perform R&D or certification emissions testing, assist in the analysis of test data (including modal data), prepare certification applications and provide other laboratory and marketing services.

A common misconception is that emissions-related products not sold in California are “49-state legal.” This is not the case. The U.S. Clean Air Act prohibits the modification of street vehicles without proper certification in all 50 states. Fortunately, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) provides a method by which manufacturers can certify emissions–related products. The CARB certification is recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and provides coverage for all 50 states. 

SEMA has untangled both federal and state compliance requirements, and can assist product manufacturers during the process of developing marketable, emissions-compliant products and ready them for store shelves. In fact, SEMA has developed a program that is designed to expedite the process with CARB, allowing members to proceed immediately to product testing, saving enormous amounts of time and energy. 

Through the SEMA Emissions Compliance Center, staff can perform R&D or certification emissions testing, assist in the analysis of test data (including modal data), prepare certification applications and provide other laboratory and marketing services. Presented by SEMA experts from the legal, technical and service ends of the equation, this informative seminar debunks the myths of the compliance process, while providing an overview of how you can reach compliance status and avoid costly enforcement actions. If you manufacture or distribute products that add performance or impact air or fuel delivery, this is a can’t-miss opportunity!

When: November 3, 2016
Where: Las Vegas Convention Center, Upper North Hall, N258
Time: 3:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m.

Presented by:

  • Chris Kersting, SEMA President/CEO
  • Russ Deane, SEMA General Counsel
  • Mike Spagnola SEMA Vice President, OE Relations and Product Development
  • Peter Treydte, SEMA Compliance Center Manager
  • Jim McFarland, SEMA Technical Consultant
