Members of the media will have an opportunity to check out new products from TORA manufacturers, Monday, November 3, in the SEMA Show Media Center.

For the first time, media attending the SEMA Show can get a head start on their coverage before the Show’s official opening.

At the SEMA Light-Truck Accessory Alliance (TORA) Media Preview, registered and credentialed journalists can avoid the rush of 60,000 buyers to get a sneak peek at some of the newest parts and accessories for the Truck and SUV segment of the automotive aftermarket, including those for the very popular and newly redesigned ’15 Ford F-150 pickup and Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon SUVs.

A limited number of TORA manufacturers will have their new products on display, and representatives will be available for interviews from 1:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. (PST), Monday, November 3, in the SEMA Show Media Center, located in room N110 of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Media can register online by visiting the SEMA Show's Media page.

“With more than 2,000 exhibitors spread over one million square feet, there’s a lot to cover at the SEMA Show, even for the most seasoned journalists,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “The Media Preview event gives journalists an opportunity to connect with exhibitors and see new products before the Show opens, making it that much easier to get the stories they need.”

The 2014 SEMA Show is set to take place Tuesday–Friday, November 4–7, in Las Vegas. The annual trade show is where manufacturers of automotive parts and accessories gather to connect with buyers from all over the world.

Super Street, GT Channel and Speedhunters will put their own spins on the stock FR-S vehicles during the 10th annual Scion Tuner Challenge at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, November 4–7.
  

Scion has announced the three media partners that will compete in its 10th annual Scion Tuner Challenge at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, November 4–7. Super Street, GT Channel and Speedhunters will put their own spins on the stock FR-S vehicles, drawing inspiration from the details of the FR-S Release Series 1.0.

All three outlets have long relationships with Scion and will receive $15,000 to modify the vehicles. Super Street is a magazine dedicated to covering high-performance customized cars and the lifestyle. GT Channel is a car video network focused on drifting videos, car racing and new vehicle tests. Speedhunters is an international collective of photographers, writers and drivers with a shared passion for digging up the most exciting stories surrounding car culture happening anywhere in the world. A panel of judges will evaluate the entries and announce the winner at the SEMA Show. First place earns a $10,000 grand prize.

“The FR-S Release Series 1.0 presents a modern take on the vehicle’s racing heritage and will provide our three media teams a creative muse for their own inspired customizations,” said Landy Joe, Scion auto shows and special events manager. “In our 10 years bringing this competition to the SEMA Show, we’ve always been impressed by the ingenuity of car builders there and our Scion fans. By bringing in these three respected partners to help us celebrate this milestone, we hope to get even more people excited about the possibilities.”

At the start of the competition, each FR-S vehicle will have its 2.0L, flat boxer engine, six-speed manual transmission and streamlined body exterior. Each build team can reach out to aftermarket partners for support as needed.

For more details about the contest, visit www.ScionRacing.com for blog entries, photos and video content. Fans can follow the builds on Scion Racing Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #ScionTunerChallenge and #FRSRS1.
