Hotchkis Sport Suspension’s “E-Max” ’71 Dodge Challenger T/A will be featured at the SEMA Action Network (SAN) booth #60003 during the 2018 SEMA Show. While spending most of its time on the street, this musclecar puts its 340 Six Pack powerplant and host of performance upgrades through their paces in autocross competitions.

The automotive community’s ability to enjoy vehicles of all kinds is impacted continuously by laws and regulations. Accordingly, the SEMA Action Network (SAN) has influenced state and federal proposals affecting enthusiasts nationwide since 1997. In fact, bills threatening the hobby in states across the nation are opposed by SAN forces each year—some are killed in less than 24 hours. On the flip side, efforts to preserve and enjoy the classics of the past and the future are supported on a pathway toward enactment into law.

Visit booth #60003 outside the convention walls of Central Hall at the 2018 SEMA Show to find out the latest word on keeping our prized vehicles on the road. Get a head-start at www.semasan.com.

Hotchkis Sport Suspension’s “E-Max” ’71 Dodge Challenger T/A will stand as this year’s visual symbol for Show attendees of the types of vehicles and equipment that many states seek to restrict and regulate. In addition, automotive media personality and SAN member Courtney Hansen will meet attendees, Wednesday, October 31, from 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.

Showgoers can ride as a passenger while a professional driver demonstrates the Slingshot’s driving capabilities by whirling around multiple tight corners within a custom-built, 18,000-sq.-ft. course.

Polaris Slingshot—a three-wheeled, five-speed, 173-hp Slingshot roadster—will host 2018 SEMA Show attendees with its “Joyride” ride-along experience in the Westgate Lot (booth #80050).

Showgoers can ride as a passenger while a professional driver demonstrates the Slingshot’s driving capabilities by whirling around multiple tight corners within a custom-built, 18,000-sq.-ft. course.

The Slingshot’s styling and design lends itself to an ideal customization platform. Slingshot owners have several accessory and upgrade options, whether selecting from the Slingshot accessory lineup of more than 150 parts and accessories, or from one of the numerous Slingshot aftermarket providers. 

Despite a federal motorcycle classification, Slingshot drivers in 44 states, including Nevada, can operate a Slingshot with their standard driver’s license; no motorcycle endorsement is needed.
