On Friday, November 8, 2013, the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks event (SST) makes its way to Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.

The race track for this one-day-only event will be constructed in front of Caesars Palace. High-flying SST trucks will propel past the Colosseum and through the Caesars Palace marquee. SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks will drift around the seven-turn asphalt race course and fly over specially constructed metal ramps.

“Bringing SST to Caesars is something unheard of,” said Robby Gordon, series president. “We would like to thank everyone at Caesars Palace and The Forum Shops at Caesars for giving us the opportunity to present a race like this. Getting to race SST trucks on this property is something phenomenal.”

In addition to the SST lineup, USA Pro SuperMoto and Modified Trophy Karts will compete with a full program of qualifying and main events.

This event is open to the public. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and ceremonies start at 6:30 p.m. Tickets can purchased on-site at Caesars Palace or in advance at www.stadiumsupertrucks.com.

	Skyjacker's new ’14 GMC pickup equipped with the 6–7-in. lift has proved compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS 126).

Skyjacker has tested the new ’14 GMC pickup equipped with the 6–7-in. lift to prove compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS 126). Through SEMA and the advanced testing by Link Engineering that involves robotic steering and outrigger equipment, Skyjacker has successfully passed the FMVSS 126 physical testing. 

A series of tests were done to measure the vehicle's stability. The sensors and monitors kept track of all the vehicle's movements and dynamics as it passed down the track.

These tests measure with great accuracy how the vehicle reacts after modification, and was done to ensure Skyjacker products work in harmony with the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)—an active control system that affects both vehicle performance and safety to reduce rollovers.

The commitment to cutting-edge technology has been a focus for the company during its more than 40 years in business.

Skyjacker's Lonnie McCurry Jr. said of the test, “We feel by taking this additional step and having this third-party testing done to show our lifts to be compatible with the ESC equipment is just another way to ensure that our customers know we go above and beyond to give them a quality product. We have always done testing in-house and built our products to surpass quality standards. We are enthusiasts and also get out and test our products in real-world settings.”

Through SEMA's efforts, manufacturers have access to the standards and test procedures needed to self-certify and prove compliance with this new standard.
