Pinch Me - No Don\'t!

My sister works for a large insurance agency and one of their clients is the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers' Association (SEMA). I said, "Hey! maybe you could get me and my buddy some free tickets to the SEMA show in Las Vegas this year!". She said she'd check into it. She got back to me and said she couldn't get the tix. But she said, "They DID offer me a couple of free tickets to sit in the plush skyboxes behind the burnout boxes at the 2004 Winternationals in the LA Fairplex in Pomona. Would you like those?" After I got my jaw off the floor I said Hell Yeah! So, this is what the free package includes: tickets to the skyboxes, where they have free catered food and beer, you hang out with some semi-famous types; free preferred parking, and free pit passes (which are very restricted).

Woo hoo! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

I grew up in Claremont, California, a good 10 miles from the Fairgrounds, and every year I could hear the moans of dragsters coming from Pomona during the Winternationals. Now I'm going to be there up close. Bitchin'

That would be COOL as hell!![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] Better take lots of picture for us unlucky bastards. If of course they allow it.

I most certainly will. We've got a digital camera now, so you can be sure I'll be clicking on smoky burnouts and 300+mph runs!

You a dog! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img] SEMA is a cool show but the seats you have at the digs kick ass!

WOW. That question ranks up there with stuff like

1) we're giving away money, would you like a large sack full?
2) would you like sex every day for a year?
3) We're closing the speed shop and we don't know what to do with all the parts. Want to help haul them off?

i just thought i would chime in and say that i will also be there but i dont get a skybox, i have to sit in the stands like all the other unlucky people[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img]

That's okay. I'll wave down to you from the windows. I'll be the guy slobbering on the glass. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
