What’s Happening?

It’s all hands on deck for the Daily Downforce crew’s annual trip to SEMA and AAPEX this week, where they will get to see what the best and brightest bring to two of the automotive industry’s largest shows and exhibitions.

• At SEMA, leaders in the specialty equipment industry showcase their best builds and latest technology. This year, the SEMA Show (Specialty Equipment Market Association Show) once again takes center stage at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 4 to November 7. 
• Just 8 minutes down the road, AAPEX 2025 is taking place at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum. APAPEX focuses on the business side of the aftermarket part industry, with product displays, demonstrations, and valuable networking opportunities.
• Both of these events make for a packed weekend for the automotive industry in Las Vegas, as members around the world flock to Nevada.

Our first stop was our friends at Demco, showing off their impressive new line of tows and hitches.

Along the way, of course, we had to check out the sights, like these impressive vehicles we saw on the floor of the North Hall.

We stopped by the folks at Rydeen to check out this incredible ride they have on display. Think they’ll let us take it for a spin?

We found this amazing setup over at the GTR Simulator booth. Can you imagine playing iRacing on one of these bad boys?

Our friends at Klein Tools had quite the crowd gathered around their display this year.

Tekmetric is here with a very familiar looking ride.

Say, who’s this fella with the No. 92?

We’re here for business, honest. If the suits ask, we needed to take all these for research and development, definitely not our Instagrams.

Friends of Out of the Groove and the Daily Downforce, Crocodile Cloth are here with their impressive setup this year.

Salty Captain are here this year showing off their Detail Pro 2500.

And we found another NASCAR supporter with the folks at SureDone.

We’ll continue to update as we explore on Day 2. Stay tuned right here to the Daily Downforce for more.
