SEMA Show Exhibitors: Get your parts on more vehicles at the 2012 SEMA Show
by offering products to builders through the Products for
Project-Vehicle Builders list. The list is a simple way to connect
manufacturers looking for additional product exposure at the SEMA Show
with the builders who design and create the vehicles that grab the
attention of media and buyers from around the world.
Product-placement opportunities such as these are so beneficial that
manufacturers often offer products for free or at a greatly reduced
rate. To participate in the list, access the Products for Project-Vehicle Builders form.
The latest addition to the list will be included each week in SEMA eNews,
when available. The list is open to exhibitors of the 2012 SEMA Show
only and is intended to build awareness for SEMA Show exhibitors and
their products.
For questions or additional information, contact Jason Catullo at jasonc@sema.org 909-978-6713.

Iowa Ethanol/Exhaust Systems/Historic Registration: SEMA-opposed legislation that would have required only E85 ethanol gas pump labels died when the legislature adjourned for the year. Current Iowa law requires labeling when gasoline is blended with any amount of ethanol. If the bill had been enacted into law, it would have removed labeling requirements for ethanol-blended gasoline containing 15% or less ethanol, thereby increasing the risk of misfueling and potential engine damage. In addition, SEMA-model legislation that would have allowed Iowa’s vehicle hobbyists to install and use aftermarket-modified exhaust systems that meet a 95-decibel limit was not given committee consideration before the legislature adjourned for the year. Similarly, a bill to allow any vehicle that is 25 years old or older and used only for exhibition, entertainment or educational purposes to be registered for a minimal annual $5 fee was not given consideration.
Michigan Historic Vehicles: Governor Rick Snyder signed into law a SEMA-supported bill that allows unlimited use of historic motor vehicles during the month of August. Under previous Michigan law, use of historic vehicles was limited to participation in club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades and similar uses, including mechanical testing, but not for general transportation. The law provides Michigan historic vehicle owners with the opportunity to enjoy recreational driving during August in addition to the other sanctioned uses. The law also acknowledges the immeasurable time and money automotive hobbyists—especially historic vehicle owners—invest in their cars.
Highway Bill and Auto Safety Measures: After months of negotiations and short-term extensions, Congress passed a sweeping $120 billion package to fund highway construction and other transportation projects for the next two years. The spending is financed by the current 18.4¢-per-gallon gas tax and the 24.4-¢-per-gallon diesel tax along with $19 billion in general treasury funds. The new law funds state programs to reduce distracted and impaired driving and increase seatbelt use. It also increases the civil penalties for defective or noncompliant vehicles and equipment, although lawmakers dropped some of the more onerous provisions opposed by SEMA and the automakers, such as mandatory installation of event data recorders. The law also includes $85 million in funding for the SEMA-supported Recreational Trails Program (RTP), which provides funds to states to develop and maintain motorized and non-motorized recreational trails. SEMA joined with several off-road enthusiast organizations to maintain RTP funding in the final highway bill.
Global Rule for Auto Glass: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing changes to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 205, Glazing Materials, so that it will conform with a global glazing standard. The changes modernize the test procedures for tempered glass, laminated glass and glass-plastic glazing used in front and rear windshields and side windows. According to the agency, the changes include an upgraded fragmentation test for curved tempered glass and a new procedure for testing an optical property of the windshield at the angle of installation to better reflect real-world driving conditions. Glazing intended for aftermarket replacements would need to meet the revised FMVSS No. 205, except glazing produced for vehicles manufactured prior to November 1, 2006. In that case, the manufacturer has the option of complying with the previous standards, FMVSS No. 205(a).
