Toyo have published a feature with some of my shots from SEMA, so rad! Check it out: http://toyotires.com.au/toyo-blog/673-toyo-tires-owns-sema

Toyo Treadpass is killer. I ran into Dino from Speedhunters just as I got here, and he suggested it was the best part of the whole show (I agree!). No need for words, enjoy the diversity and quality of cars in my Toyo Tires Treadpass coverage below.

A 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback mounted on a Nissan R35 GT-R chassis!

Hoonicorn unveiled. The guys had a pretty tight fence around it so excuse the tight shots!

Toyo has SO much representation at SEMA. I’m shocked, in awe, just absolutely loving it.

Enkei stand. The following shots are of cars on Toyo tyres, but not at official Toyo stands.

Fatlace RPRSNT!

Speedhunters x RWB.

CATUNED 2002.

So rad!

JDMyard crew x Jeremy Lookofsky of Drag Cartel.

Really loved this 2017 Honda Civic shell at the Honda stand; it was covered in Honda Racing mods, all nicely labelled. Massive focus on track stuff in general at SEMA.

2017 86 at the Toyota stand.

Beautiful.

Greddy stand.

Haltech! At the end of the day I finally got around to the main hall, spotted fellow Aussies hard at work (good one guys your stand was busy as!). Will return tomorrow for much much more!

Yup. SEMA is awesome! It’s HUGE, and there’s so much to see, even more to miss if you don’t take your time. Good thing then that I have a few days left to go!

I’ve been in absolute awe at how many cars on show are on Toyo tyres. It’s mind boggling, especially since Toyo are a Japanese tyre, and SO many American muscle cars are on them, complete with Toyo tyre stickers too! Everyone’s busy at the show but I got a little chat in with Stan Chen, the senior manager of Toyo Tires USA, as well as Dionne Mascunana, who creates a lot of awesome imagery for Toyo USA (check his Instagram here).

I’ve also noted a real track focus at the show. PLENTY of stripped out race cars (which I love!). I’ll be returning tomorrow for more so sit tight for more photos then!

No need for words, this video by DopeKoto captures the vibe of WTAC so well, familia; love… SO much love! Subscribe to DopeKoto.

PS: Spot me at 3:14 in!

Walker in the house.

SO many awesome cars on Toyo here in the US, what the fuck is up with Toyo representation in Aus? It’s got to change.

Idlers x Toyo R888 RPRSNT!

Everything’s bigger in the States!

Yeah I’m done! Fave car I saw today.

Block in the house.

Spotted on the street en-route to the cop shop.

The cop shop!

I was there to file a report about the other night (so I can claim my phone on insurance!). Cops were so tops!!!!!

Walking back to our hotel.

Man we’re doing SO much walking around Vegas, our legs are dead already! Today started super slow as some of the crew went out raging again last night, we had brekkie at lunch, and then headed over to SEMA to get our passes. The Media room is awesome, Kiet happens to have 2 phones on him so I got a sim card for one of them and now I have a phone! Some of the crew managed to talk their way into a sold out Diplo show at our hotel, I decided to skip that to hang with the Speedhunters crew for a few drinks.

Big day tomorrow! Expect a lot of photos! SEMA has got to be the largest car show in the world. It looks absolutely HUGE!
