KGP Photography's man in the Arctic Circle has nabbed the most revealing look at the front- and rear-fascias of the ’16 Chevy Cruze. The shape and finish of the headlights and taillights are both much better revealed here than in any previous shots. Elements of Chevrolet's latest taillight design theme can be seen, with a Camaro, a little Malibu and even a little C7 Corvette flavor found in the internal lighting elements.

 "Snake & Mongoo$e" will be available for digital download and on On Demand by select cable providers March 4. | |
Entertainment Universe has released a new trailer as the upcoming pay-per-view and DVD release of the racing drama, “Snake & Mongoo$e,” draws near. The film, which had a limited release in 20 cities in the summer and fall of 2013, will be available for digital download and on On Demand by select cable providers March 4. It will be available on Blu-ray and DVD April 8 through major retailers.
Premiering in select theaters, with a series of events that crossed the nation and included stops in Reno, Nevada; Detroit; Indianapolis; and Los Angeles, the film gave audiences an eye-opening look at the birth of drag racing’s popularity and the partnership with Mattel that launched a phenomenon.
“Snake & Mongoo$e” was screened at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in January, becoming the first film ever screened in the automotive event’s 43-year history.
The film is a true story of the greatest rivalry and friendship in drag-racing history, pitting Don “The Snake” Prudhomme (Jesse Williams of Lee Daniels' “The Butler” and “Grey’s Anatomy”) against his longtime friend and on-the-track nemesis Tom “The Mongoo$e” McEwen (Richard Blake of “Dragonball: Evolution”). From the days of early speedways through the peak of their popularity, these are the triumphs and tragedies behind the legendary races and Hot Wheels partnership that created a global phenomenon. Ashley Hinshaw (“Chronicle”), Kim Shaw (“She’s Out of My League”), Fred Dryer (“Hunter”), Ian Ziering (“Sharknado”), Tim Blake Nelson (“O Brother Where Art Thou?”) and Noah Wyle (“ER,” “Falling Skies”) co-star in this drama of the two men who battled business and each other to change motorsports forever.

 The SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit is a unique workshop where Show staff connect with exhibitors face-to-face, and provide exhibitors with real-world guidance on how to succeed at the SEMA Show. | |
Hundreds of SEMA Show exhibitors will learn how to promote their new products and target buyers, while getting tips for setting up a cost-effective booth, during the fifth-annual SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit. Taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, April 14–16, 2014, the SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit is a unique workshop where Show staff connect with exhibitors face-to-face and provide exhibitors with real-world guidance on how to succeed at the SEMA Show.
“Before the Internet and e-mail became so prevalent, SEMA Show exhibitors used to travel to Los Angeles to select their booth locations. Today, exhibitors go online to view a floorplan in real-time and select their space over the phone,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “While the online booth selection process is much more efficient and saves exhibitors time and money, we’ve lost a key opportunity to personally connect with them. The Exhibitor Summit has proven to be extremely valuable in helping us to regain that connection.”
MacGillivray notes that past Summit participants report having gained valuable insight that they attribute to success at the SEMA Show. “We’re able to connect with exhibitors individually and help them with their goals and objectives,” he said.
Topics addressed during the summit include: "Ways to Increase Awareness," "Better Understanding the Buyer," and "Cost-Saving Techniques." Participants may also sit down in one-on-one sessions with Show organizers or Show partners to discuss their unique needs and also tour the convention center.
Registration for the Exhibitor Summit is free, and hotel rooms and all meals during the event are included. Exhibitors are responsible for their own travel to and from Las Vegas, as well as for incidental hotel charges (phone, room service, etc.). Space is limited and certain conditions apply. Details are available at www.semashow.com/summit, or from sales@sema.org or 909-396-0289.
The SEMA Show typically attracts more than 130,000 individuals from 125 countries, making the annual Show the premier automotive trade event in the world. Manufacturers come to the event to connect with industry professionals and to showcase products that enhance the styling, performance and functionality of cars, trucks and SUVs. The 2014 event takes place November 4–7, in Las Vegas. For details, visit www.SEMAShow.com.
