The Lucas Oil Off-Road Expo is the grand daddy of all off-road shows, and this is the first time we have been able to make it. We liked it so much it is already on the calendar for next year.

We had been hearing rumors that this years SEMA show was not going to be like it had in the past. With homes foreclosing, and people loosing their jobs the last thing on their minds is automotive aftermarket. Well this might have been true for some but there was still a huge presence this year to the tune of over 125,000 people.

Even with the bad economy Halloween at Dumont Dunes turned out to be a blast for many in 2009.

It was another beautiful day in the OC for the opener of the 2009 Extreme Motorsports Expo. We covered this event in 2007 and was surprised at the quality of the vendors and attraction. Well this year we saw even more vendors dedicated to Side x Sides and Prerunners.
