No In-Person SEMA Show? No Problem. The Summit Racing Performance Parts Expo is November 2-6!

The first week of November is typically SEMA time! It’s the week when aftermarket manufacturers, OEMs, hot rod builders and automotive celebrities head out to Las Vegas for the hobby’s largest trade show. However, like so many things we care about, the in-person event has been KO’d by COVID, and SEMA has been forced to offer a virtual “SEMA360” show instead.

Our friends at Summit Racing have pivoted and put together something called Performance Parts Expo 2020. Hosted on Summit Racing’s social media channels, this event will be a virtual version of the company’s annual coverage of the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The main goal was to shine a spotlight on manufacturers, who typically use the live SEMA show to debut new products and product updates.

Here’s what the Performance Parts Expo will feature the week of November 2:
