The SEMA Show in Las Vegas has become a Mecca for tuners in the past few years. The show has exploded in popularity, and the Specialty Equipment Market Association aims to take advantage of that popularity with its High School Vehicle Build Program". The programme does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. Each year, SEMA buys second-hand vehicles for a few different American high schools that have their own garages and mechanic classes. Once the cars have been sourced, the schools are sent a load of aftermarket parts for free, and the kids can get to work. It"s all about inspiring a new generation of tuners. When the cars are finished, SEMA auctions them with the help of Bringatrailer.com, and the funds are then put back into buying cars for the following year. Clever isn"t it?
