While the annual SEMA Show might be the most visible component of the Specialty Equipment Market Association, the SEMA organization does a lot more to benefit the automotive aftermarket industry. Perhaps SEMA's most important efforts center on its involvement in government affairs. From emissions regulations to off-road trail access, SEMA makes sure that automotive aftermarket industry members and consumers (that's you) have a voice in these political conversations. Karen Bailey-Chapman,  Senior Vice President, Public and Government Affairs with SEMA, leads the charge to protect your hobby and our industry. We sat down with Karen to learn more about her role, as well as the key issues currently in play.

While it’s easy to get excited about jaw dropping acceleration and massive towing power, let’s make one point clear: Stopping is just as important as going. To that end, we wanted to talk with a brake expert about everything from basic brake tech all the way to disc brake conversions for classic cars and towing upgrades for late model trucks. And we found the perfect guy for the job in Tom Reid. Not only is he president and CEO of a top-tier performance brake company, SSBC-USA, Tom’s also an engineer who grew up working with his uncle’s grassroots race team.

The SEMA Show is the aftermarket industry's biggest show. It's where new products are introduced, emerging trends are uncovered, and important news is broken.

Listen in and see what's in store for '24!

As much as we enjoy making big power on an engine dyno, keeping it pointed in the right direction is just as critical. So we sat down with our old pal Lee Grimes from Koni North America to talk all about performance suspension tuning 101.  Lee's not just a guy who knows a lot about Koni suspension parts, he's also serious racer with around 40 years of track experience under his tires. Suffice it to say, when he offers insight and tips on suspension tuning, we're inclined to listen. We invite you to listen as well!

Ralph Moody Sr. was a major driver (pun intended) of racing innovation and design throughout the 20th century.
In particular, together with John Holman, the Holman-Moody race team helped develop and refine a veritable fleet of awe-inspiring machines, from offshore power boats to the legendary Ford GT-40. In fact, serving as Ford’s de facto tuning shop in the 1960s, the FoMoCo tapped Holman-Moody to design and build its entrant into the nascent NASCAR Aero Wars: the Torino Talladega. While Ralph Moody Sr. passed away in 2004, the Moody legacy carries on with his son, Ralph Moody Jr. Now an accomplished mechanical engineer, Ralph Jr. got his start by wrenching in the Moody garage. We sat down with Ralph Moody Jr. to talk all about his family’s history and get the backstory behind a specific restoration project for this podcast episode. 

Any experienced gearhead will tell you that a professional-quality paint job doesn’t happen overnight—it’s the result of hours of training, practice, and prep work. And while that might dissuade a lot of folks from tackling a paint project themselves, the truth is, you can do a pro-spec automotive paint job in your home garage and—honestly—it’s a pretty straightforward process. We hosted automotive paint expert Kevin Tetz to answer some common questions surrounding at-home paint projects and also get some valuable tips for better results.
