TMCP #661: ASK RICK – The ROI of Going to the SEMA Show and Fun Before Halloween Car Flips – Corvette vs GNX vs Zephyr!
Q: Just go into the show. Is it worth spending the cash to hope the networking works out? Do you go in and intentionally educate yourself on value of SEMA for attendees?
Rick explains that for truck-focused shops, SEMA can be very valuable for firsthand product exposure and relationship building; for classic parts, it's more of a knowledge and relationship exercise, with the show serving as a long-term networking and trend-spotting opportunity rather than a guaranteed immediate payoff.
TMCP #659: Heidi Bandish of RacerShip | The “Dating App” for Racing Sponsorships?
Q: How does RacerShip work for racers and sponsors?
RacerShip offers profiles, sponsor decks, a RacerShip score, and a dashboard to filter and evaluate potential partners, aiming to streamline sponsorships and education for drivers.
