The SEMA-backed Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2021 (RPM Act), H.R. 3281, was reintroduced in the House by U.S. Representatives Patrick McHenry (R-NC) and Raul Ruiz (D-CA) and had more than 90 co-sponsors at the time of this issue’s publication. The RPM Act would protect Americans’ right to convert street vehicles into dedicated race cars as well as the motorsports parts industry’s ability to produce and sell products that allow racers to compete.
The vehicle builds and celebrity appearances may generate the most attention on the exhibition floor, but at the SEMA Show, the real place to assess the state of the automotive aftermarket—and to stay in touch with all of the latest technologies and trends—is the New Products Showcase. It’s newly relocated for 2021, now occupying a 30,000-sq.-ft. area of Upper South Hall at booth #31255. A must-see for all attendees and a first stop for many, the Showcase is open during Show hours, and is conveniently located near the Show Media Center, which can be helpful for members of the working press who need to optimize their Show time.
