All ready this year, Tariffs have started to have an effect on both Auto Manufactures and the Automotive Aftermarket.There has also been a fair amount of confusion around possible changes in the way that the EPA is going to enforce regulations as well which has left shops and enthusiasts alike with questions.SEMA is always at the forefront of any of these changes that affect the Automotive Aftermarket, and on this episode of the podcast, we have a conversation with Karen Bailey-Chapman who is the Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs for SEMA.We go over the current best information on these topics, and at the end we also talk about the issues around the Right to Modify vehicles that may be the next big challenge for the industry.If you would like to see more information about the topics we discuss, here are links to resources on SEMA's website:https://www.sema.org/advocacyhttps://www.sema.org/advocacy/tariffshttps://www.semagarage.com/Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

The Best Track Cars You Don't Know About
When a car is fun to drive and fast on track, it doesn't typically stay a secret for long. As a car gets a reputation with enthusiasts, they quickly become more expensive because they are more sought after.With the lack of new fun cars to choose from at a reasonable price for the last couple of years, there has been a lot of focus on cars that are 5 - 10 years old. It can certainly seem like all of the good options have been picked through and are not as affordable as they should be.But are there some good track cars left that everyone has forgotten about?This is the topic of discussion today with Mike Pettiford of Go 4 it Racing.Maybe there are still some diamonds left out there.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!
