For many SEMA Show exhibitors, holding promotions or contests can be an effective way to increase brand awareness.

• The promotion must clearly state that the SEMA Show is a trade-only event and is not open to the general public.
• Exhibitors are not permitted to order "exhibitor" badges for any non-employees, including winners of the contests.
• Special instructions will be provided about how exhibitors can purchase badges for their contest winners.
• All winners who receive badges must be at least 16 years old.
• There is a limit of five badges for non-trade winners. There is no limit to the number of winners from the trade.

	Jerry Green

Jerry Green, 76, who had been battling Parkinson’s Disease for the past 10+ years, passed away Friday, May 2. Green was known as the “Godfather” of Ford Motor Co.’s involvement at SEMA, and he was fully dedicated to Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing.

Despite his fight with Parkinson's, Green continued drag racing even in his later years. When asked how he was able to compete against racers more than 40 years his junior and beat them consistently—including elapse times down the quarter-mile and also measured reaction times—he wittily responded, “I just start my launch on the second yellow countdown light, rather than the green 'go' light—that way by the time my legs end up reacting, my timing is perfect.”

Green is survived by his wife (Bobbie) and daughter. Memorial arrangements are currently underway. His wishes were that he be cremated and his ashes scattered at Milan Dragway.

Behold the first undisguised look at the SRT Challenger, powered by the supercharged "Hellcat" V8 engine. While the lesser Challenger variants have been unveiled at the New York Auto Show, numerous "Hellcat-powered" Challengers are still running with heavy camouflage. However, the shooters at KGP Photography caught two "Hellcat" prototypes without a shred of meaningful camo, providing a near-showroom-ready look at the invigorated musclecar that is looking to answer the new challenges brought forth by the new Mustang GT500 and the Camaro ZL1 and Z/28.

Months ago, the shooters at KGP Photography caught a Hellcat prototype with its hood raised, revealing its massive supercharger for the first, and only, time. Now, with these latest shots, the powerful bodywork that will be covering the massive engine is evident. The hood gets a beefy, sweetly sculpted center-mounted air scoop that takes some inspiration from the SRT Viper—the brand's halo car. There are some reports that the "Hellcat" supercharged 6.2L V8 engine is capable of generating more power than the Viper, so it will be interesting to see what the final power numbers are when the car makes its official debut.
