Oct. 24, 2013—The SEMA Show announced Wednesday that it is on track to exceed 2,500 exhibitors during the show’s four-day run at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Nov. 5–8.

The SEMA New Product Showcase features nearly 2,000 never-before-seen products. The show hosts special appearances by master builders Troy Trepanier and Chip Foose, West Coast Custom’s Ryan Friedlinghaus, NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon and Danica Patrick, as well as Vin Diesel’s 1969 Dodge Challenger from film “The Fast and the Furious,” and the 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning Audi R18 LMP1.
