SEMA Show Photos

The traffic through our booth was incredible. We didn't know what to expect, but the fully dressed display engine in Mercury blue/polished aluminum was yanking them in like a chain on a junkyard dog. Not as good as the import girls mind you, but we were very happy.
We learned that the best thing to do was leave the lid on. Then after some head scratching, pull the lid off and make the speech. Everybody understood the concept. All you have to do is show them a before picture and ask them if they would buy a cylinder head with that many elbows in the ports.
We have identified 5-6 dealers across the country and that's why we went there. Met a lot of very serious customers on the verge of buying a supercharger kit from someone else. Some of them we convinced and will refer to dealers; some probably went back to their original choice to be re-convinced by them. It's not easy being the new kid on the block.
Also had some great media attention - Powerboat, Extreme Boats, Hot Rod, even Two Guys Garage. We will be covered in the Family & Performance Boating Feb issue, which will be handed out at the Miami show. We will likely exhibit there too.
Got to shake Vic Edelbrock's hand; after waiting in line behind Joe D'Amato. This is like shaking hands with Elvis. Also got some posters signed by a few of the import girls and the Lowrider centerfold.
When I get some pictures developed or emailed to me from the media I will post a shot of our booth and engine display.

The photos are from SEMA show website, can't make them any bigger they just go blurry. Maybe you can resize them better, I couldn't. If you want to see more go to www.semaphotos.com.
