Thanks to your efforts, the 2017 RPM Act continues to gather momentum! Many of you recently joined fellow industry leaders at the 2017 SEMA Washington Rally to talk to lawmakers and urge swift congressional action on this critical legislation.  

You also supported the Rally on social media. The hashtag #SaveOurRacecars generated more than 1,073 uses on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram during the Rally. More than 890 social-media users posted in support of SEMA’s Thunderclap campaign, reaching 394,765 people.

This energy encouraged enthusiasts from across the country to send more than 900 letters in support of the RPM Act, which helped add key congressional supporters. The bill now has more than 150 co-sponsors in the House and Senate combined, and the number is growing every day!  

At the Rally, SEMA found that many friends in Congress are committed to passing the bill this year and protecting motorsports for future generations.

Thank you again for your ongoing support and enthusiasm!

Stay up to date on the RPM Act.

With his ’69 Camaro, Cam Miller was the winner of the 2016 SEMA Battle of the Builders Competition, and was featured on the March 2017 cover of SEMA News.

Builders with a car or truck on display at the 2017 SEMA Show, to be held October 31–November 3, in Las Vegas, may now enter the SEMA Battle of the Builders® competition by applying online. The program recognizes and brings increased media exposure to top vehicle builders, their vehicles and the products that make the vehicles unique.

Now in its fourth year, the SEMA Battle of the Builders program shines the spotlight on the amazing talents and craftsmanship of builders who have already proven themselves by being a part of the SEMA Show.

New for this year is the expanded “Young Guns” category—a program that was introduced in 2016 to provide heightened exposure for up-and-coming builders. As part of the Young Guns program, SEMA has partnered with AutoCon, Bonnier and Goodguys to award builders age 27 and younger (as of November 3, 2017) who do not have a vehicle at the Show an opportunity to participate in SEMA Battle of the Builders. Partnering organizations will award six winners at select regional events a prize package that includes an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the 2017 SEMA Show, transportation of the winner’s vehicle, a designated feature spot at the Show and automatic entry into the SEMA Battle of the Builders competition.

Winners from the partnering organizations will then compete in Battle of Builders at the SEMA Show, alongside the builders who entered with a feature or booth vehicle from the annual trade-only event. All competitors, their vehicles and sponsoring exhibitors receive increased exposure at the SEMA Show and the possibility of being featured in a one-hour, nationwide television special that will air on the Velocity Network.
