During the Media Trade Conference, manufacturers supply technical and product information with dozens of editorial staff from print and digital outlets in prescheduled, 30-minute meetings.

Journalists are invited to sign up for the 2020 Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC) Media Trade Conference, taking place Tuesday–Thursday, January 21–23, 2020, at the Embassy Suites Orange County Airport North in Santa Ana, California, where participating journalists will sit down in up to 42 (14 each day) private, uninterrupted meetings with executives from top motorsports parts manufacturers in the industry.

Company representatives come to the meetings prepared to discuss everything from their newest product lines, changes at their companies and industry trends during their meetings with editors. Additionally, afternoon lunches and breaks provide further opportunities for meetings and networking.

Media participation is free for all editorial representatives, making it the most affordable and efficient way for reporters to get detailed information specific to their audience’s needs and interests while gathering a year’s worth of editorial content.

Early registration guarantees that reporters will receive the best possible schedules prior to the event. Meetings are scheduled based on the companies that journalists select on their applications, so participants are encouraged to pay close attention to the companies they select. Journalists should also mark “Do Not Meet” for the companies outside of their editorial needs.

For questions regarding the event, visit SEMA’s website or contact Juan Torres, SEMA media relations specialist, at juant@sema.org or 909-978-6722.

Tanner Foust wrapped up his first ARX championship title at the 2019 Americas Rallycross Series at Mid-Ohio.

Tanner Foust Wins Americas Rallycross Title in Volkswagen Beetle R at Mid-Ohio

Tanner Foust wrapped up his first ARX championship title at the 2019 Americas Rallycross Series at Mid-Ohio. The No. 34 Rockstar Energy Drink Beetle R dominated the first two qualifying rounds, but suffered a penalty for contact with Steve Arpin’s Ford in his Q3 Heat race, which put him on the back-foot for the next round of qualifying. Still, a finish was all that was needed to take the title, while teammate Cabot Bigham led the way with a first-place finish in their Q4 Heat. In tricky conditions in the first semi-final, Bigham struggled for grip and didn’t make the final. Foust finished second on the road in the other semi-final, but was given a dubious five-second penalty for transgressing track limits that dropped him to fourth place and thus out of the final.
