The road doesn’t start at the Las Vegas Convention Center—it starts in garages, on dusty backroads, inside late-night build sessions. For the 2025 SEMA Show (Nov 4-7), a special initiative called Road to SEMA is shining the spotlight on 11 vehicle builders who are documenting every wrench turn, every cross-state haul, and one final display under the neon lights.

The Story
These aren’t just concept-cars—they’re real rides built by real people, with real stories. The initiative brings together creators who are traveling from across the country (and even overseas) to showcase their work at SEMA. According to the organizers, it’s less about shiny perfected builds and more about “what it takes” to get there. SEMA
Why It Matters
Because car culture is shifting. The builder scene is no longer hidden—it’s public, social, shareable. For classic-car fans and rock-fueled petrol heads alike, this means you’re not just looking at cars, you’re watching stories unfold. It’s a fresh layer of engagement for the community you serve at My Car Show Radio.
Rock Connection
It’s like “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf—the journey matters as much as the destination. These cross-country builders are hitting twisty roads, pulling into garages, and turning dreams into metal and horsepower.
Share your ride and its story through Garage Roll Call or the Listener Car Showcase.
