The SEMA Show is the latest event to join the growing list of events canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Organizers of the Las Vegas aftermarket show said "mount- ing uncertainty" was a key reason behind the decision not to hold the show.

Aside from aftermarket companies, major automakers typi- cally gather at the SEMA Show to debut various special edition vehicles, or to test the water for potential new accessories.

Custom shops also display their muscle cars and more at the show.

"We appreciate the spirit, hard work and innovation our industry puts into the SEMA Show each year," SEMA CEO Chris Kersting said in a statement. "While we are disappointed circumstances prevent us from hosting the Show in Novem- ber, we look forward to getting everyone together in 2021 for another outstanding event."

SEMA plans to issue full refunds to all exhibitors for booth and registration fees. We could still see the show go on in some form, however. The organization said it may attempt a virtual SEMA Show with some live elements. If there's a consensus, we'll learn more about a virtual alternative in the weeks to come. u Visit us on the Web: www.scraptirenews.com STN September 2020 • 15 Company Selects Site For TIA Supports Tire Pyrolysis Plant Highway Bill Extension Norwegian developer Wastefront has signed a deal with With the deadline to reauthorize surface transportation pro- the Sunderland City Council to build a tire recycling facil- grams quickly approaching, the Tire Industry Association ity which will use pyrolysis technology to convert scrap (TIA) and the Highway Users urged Congress to pass a tires into liquid hydrocarbons and carbon black.
