Hot Rod Alley at the SEMA Show includes a mix of street rod, custom car and street-performance products and services pertaining to everything from classic ’30s vehicles to ‘70s musclecars and beyond. This diverse category showed growth for the third consecutive year at the SEMA Show. For 2016, the number of companies exhibiting in the hot rod segment grew 2% and occupied 4% more square footage on the Show floor than in the prior year.
This year, Hot Rod Alley exhibitors entered almost 120 new products in the New Products Showcase. If there was a theme to the new-product surge, it might be respect for the hot rod legacy, even as manufacturers cleverly integrate new technologies. Top products receiving scans from buyers included EFI systems from companies such as Holley/MSD Group, Speedmaster and FiTech EFI, and exhaust equipment from Xforce Performance Exhaust. Products related to adapting Chevrolet LS engines to custom applications also received notably high click rates from buyers at the Show.

The House Natural Resources Committee passed legislation that requires the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to reopen the 75,000-acre Clear Creek National Recreation Area (NRA) in California’s San Benito and Fresno Counties for recreational use, including OHV access. The Clear Creek National Recreation Area and Conservation Act (H.R. 289) provides OHV access to more than 240 miles of public trails. Clear Creek NRA was closed in 2008 due to potential asbestos exposure concerns. However, an independent risk-assessment study requested by the California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Commission concluded that management and operational strategies could be effectively employed to allow OHV use without exposing the public to unacceptable risks. The bill would reopen the Clear Creek NRA and implement the recommended management strategies.
