SEMA 2010 and Beyond

I’ve had a busy week… and thank God it didn’t include any brake issues! I’ve been in Las Vegas attending SEMA, an auto-industry trade show. It is huuuuggggeee! I’ve had lots of fun connecting with the car world. And actually right now, as I write this, I’m out in Pahrump at the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge!

It began last night with a road rally and continues today out at the racetrack. I was lucky enough (and brave enough) to ride shotgun with my new pals Kevin and Josh in a 2009 Mercedes C63 AMG. Being a hot rod girl, I have to admit I never thought I’d have so much fun in a Mercedes!

I’ve got to get back to racing…but check out the first couple of posts over at MyRideisMe.com!

Ultimate Street Car Invitational on SPEED tv

Hey ya’ll…what are ya doing this weekend?! If you’re not busy (like me) at the Grand National Roadster Show, you should catch the debut of Optima Batteries’ “Ultimate Street Car Invitational.”

I had the privilege of being at this event, and it was the coolest thing next to Speedweek! Where else do you get the chance to see street legal cars ranging from a 1927 Tucci Roadster to Muscle Cars to Modern Stuff take off head-to-head in race-car style conditions?!? Nowhere! So, pull up a seat and watch!

It’ll be airing on SPEED TV this Saturday, January 30th @ 11am ET and again Sunday January 31st @ 4pm ET. It’s an hour-long ride o’ fun!

Included in the 51 car and drivers, is a very expert “Grease Girl”, Mary Pozzi. You can learn a little more about her as you watch (she might look nice and reserved…but watch out!) I was able to meet up with her at the show’s premiere event here in Los Angeles this past week…and we made a little video just for you! It sounds like Mary may be gracing us soon with some of her expert Grease Girl knowledge, so be on the lookout!

Until then, have an awesome weekend, check back soon for tons of stuff from the Grand National Roadster Show, and enjoy watching the Ultimate Street Car Invitational!
