InfluencersThe SEMA360 Social Media Correspondent Program is a window into the exclusive event through the highlights of up-and-coming and well-known industry influencers.

Only registered attendees of SEMA360 will have access to the line-up of special guests, new product announcements, and more. However, the SEMA Social Media Correspondent Program will be a window into this exclusive event. The growing list of up-and-coming and well-known industry influencers will highlight the best of SEMA360.

Competitive drag racer and past Young Guns judge Alex Taylor has just joined the ranks of the SMC program, and she will share her knowledge of all things drag racing and automotive. Her passion for racing is evident from her ’68 Camaro that she built to be a twin-turbo beast on the track.

“I’m so excited to be included in the Social Media Correspondent Program and am excited to see how SEMA has adapted so quickly to all the changes that have happened this year, and to see how they are working to incorporate new media outlets with this new program”, says Taylor. She continues, “I plan on sharing what I’m currently doing and projects currently in the works, without a whole lot of changes, because I think that helps emphasize how we can effectively and organically work with companies in the industry. I look forward to seeing how this program helps to bridge the gap between companies and the changes happening in media currently. It’s a learning process for both sides!”  

Be sure to follow her down the strip on Instagram @alextaylorracing.

Interested in more truck-focused content? Be sure to check out JW Montoya @jw_montoya. JW is an avid builder and truck enthusiast who is an advocate of all-things Duramax. Montoya shared with us, “We all know 2020 has been ‘different’. SEMA being cancelled is obviously upsetting for most of us, but kudos to SEMA for being proactive and coming up with SEMA360. I’m stoked for this virtual show. I think it’s got a lot of potential and it’ll open up doors for new opportunities”. His YouTube channel features hundreds of videos documenting dozens of builds, product reviews and tips and tricks for customizing your ride.

Connecting buyers and manufacturers from around the world, SEMA360 will feature new product debuts, feature vehicles, and industry-leading educational sessions. Through the Social Media Correspondent (SMC) Program, these niche influencers will curate and create original and relevant content for SEMA360. SEMA360 takes place online November 2-6. Follow all the action and join the conversation at #SEMA360.

Coming out Santa Fe Springs, California, is Emily Rodriguez’s ’18 Hyundai Elantra GT. She was looking for a sporty, compact hatchback with a turbo, and this little wagon was the perfect replacement for her Scion. Inspired by her husband, she decided that this daily driver was going to be anything but stock.

Underneath the hood, the powerplant gets an additional boost from a SXTH Element intake and intercooler. Spark is provided by the HKS 1 Step Colder Plugs and a custom tune brings it all together. The turbo breathes through an upgraded AFE Power 3-in. catback exhaust with twin Takeda stainless steel tips.

Exterior enhancements include a custom fabricated grille insert, Zymexx rear spoiler, and Premium Auto Styling rear taillight overlays. The third-gen’s lowered stance is courtesy of the GECKO Racing coilovers and 18x8 BBS Wheels wrapped around low-profile treads.

The finishing touches that are on-deck include a custom wrap, interior work, and fiber-optic lights in the headliner. The coilovers will get replaced with air bags and the trunk will get overhauled with a wood floor where the air compressor will be mounted.

PRI’s cross-country campaign will visit dozens of motorsports companies over a two-month span while collecting, generating, and distributing content for the racing community.

Performance Racing Industry (PRI) is launching a new cross-country campaign to gather and share news and updates from dozens of racing-related businesses. Dubbed “The PRI Road Tour,” the campaign is an all-out content creation bonanza that takes the PRI team directly to manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, race teams, race tracks and more, over a two-month span.

The PRI Road Tour, which begins October 10, will help manufacturers promote their products and services, and connect the worldwide racing industry by making more than 85 planned stops at motorsports businesses and facilities throughout the country, concluding on December 15. The PRI team will capture and share video, photos, and exclusive interviews highlighting the industry’s newest products, vehicles, races, and developments.

“If the industry can’t come to the PRI Trade Show in Indianapolis, then PRI is coming to the industry,” said PRI President Dr. Jamie Meyer.

Traveling in the PRI Road Tour van, wrapped with the PRI logo, the team will conduct on-site interviews and curate content to share on PRI’s website and social platforms, as well as within its monthly magazine. PRI is also partnering with various media outlets, racers, influencers and social media channels to further amplify the news and information it gathers.

PRI invites all motorsports companies to join the PRI Road Tour by submitting press releases, photos, videos, and other assets to RoadTour@PerformanceRacing.com to be included in the program. PRI will provide simple guidelines with minimal requirements to encourage widespread industry participation. Professional editors will have access to these submissions and generate content to be used on PRI’s channels, as well as shared with other media and influencers.

“The business of racing starts at PRI, and our goal is to support the motorsports industry by helping them spread the word about what they are doing,” Meyer said. “We’ve tapped into the world’s best photographers, videographers and social media experts to develop content that will resonate with the racing world.”

The PRI Road Tour kicks off on October 10, in Indianapolis with video shoots at the Indiana Convention Center, speed shops and popular attractions. The team will drive to Chicago on October 12, as it makes its way through Detroit, Cleveland and cities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and California.

The PRI team is closely following local, state and national health and safety guidelines as the Road Tour travels the country covering the business of racing.

While the SEMA Cares Pinewood Drag Races will not take place in person this year, SEMA members can still incorporate the joy of automotive activities with their loved ones by purchasing a pinewood car to build at home.

By purchasing a pinewood, SEMA members are able to give back to the charities that best reflect the values and interests of the automotive specialty-equipment industry. All in-person fundraising events have been postponed until 2021, which is why SEMA Cares needs the support of the industry now more than ever.

“It’s not just another program that SEMA offers, it’s such an impactful program that really develops into the children of the future,” said incoming SEMA Chairwoman Kathryn Reinhardt. “These are children that are going to be consumers in our market. They’re also going to be possible employees. We’re looking for people who can still donate, and people who can purchase cars.”

Each build-at-home donation kit includes a pre-shaped pinewood car or truck body, wheels, axles and weights. Want to customize your pinewood and make it your own? Add paint, stickers or other design elements. Buy your Pinewood.
