Is anyone planning on going this year?? Im some what thinking about going this year but I dont really have the right "creditionals" to get in if you know what I mean.. I know some of you have gone in the past. .Just wanna know if theres ways around it for me to get in and check it out with out actually being in the auto industry.

Get on your knees....










and pray.

no no, if Im on my knees.. i'll be doing something else!! Anyways,, I know that it can be done.. I know Ron.. Coloskydiver got in a few years back.. I guess I can just ask him..

Semen!!

SEMA usually has a contest every year where the give out free passes, about 1,000. I'm sure on the details or what you need to do to enter, but that's one of the only ways I know to get in.

Zico, Corey and I went in '08, but that was when Zico worked at Street Nightmares with the sh*thead owner Sean, so we got in with them. The show dwindles a little more every year due to the economy, you better go before there's nothing left lol.

I hope to go some day.
I submitted my application back in April.
Denied:(

Looking for other options to score tickets.

I hear theres ways of doing... you just have to some how show that your connected to the auto industry some way or another. Weither it be fake buisness card or you have a legit buiness say that your an employee of theirs and so on..

Talked to the SEMA Representative before I registered and he encouraged me to register as Owner/President Colorado Mazda Forum under Category #4 - Clubs/Forums/Media.

Can we be your employees??!!!!

If I get the green light and my registration is accepted.
The plan would be to score additional tickets.
Looks like I'm going to have to make a call to hopefully get my registration moving.

Just check my email and found the following notification.

The information wasn't widely shared at the time, but I bought the license and rights to the Club and Forum almost a year ago from Josh and Lee.
Transition was rather uneventful.

The Forum is celebrating its third year marked by Mazda Mania aka Birthday Bash.

I knew that Angie and Bree had pretty much taken over running the forums and the Angie handed it fully over to Bree.. but I didnt know that you had actually taken ownership of the site... But its all good.. I know its in good hands.. I helped start this site back when it was MHM and even before that when it all started out from a few of us in the mazda6 club.. So glad to hear that your the main guy here. I trust that will take care this site for us..
