Rolling up our sleeves

We've got a small crew here at SEMA this year and thankfully, the booth is pretty straightforward for set up. The biggest technical challenge was getting the tailgating vehicle and its big screen TV up and running. Since we're inside the convention center, the embedded TracVision system won't work so we have a live feed dropped from an antenna on the roof. The trick is getting it hooked up to the car. However, Ben Bettelli, Jack Cahoon, and Ken Lokey managed to get everything connected and working so we'll be able to put on an excellent show tomorrow.

Jack gets a nice close look at the underside of the tailgating vehicle as he helps run the live feed to the receiver
