SEMA Hot Rods and Horsepower – Top Ten: Any kind of car could be a hot rod, and there are some folks who would tell you that all cars are hot rods – somewhere, deep inside. If it goes fast and looks, eh, outrageous and beautiful in its own artistic way, it's a hot rod and deserves a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts. So put it there. Next to drag strips, tattoo parlors and flaming paint jobs, and call it Vegas, baby, the perfect spot for the hottest rods. And as the annual trade festival called SEMA has grown, Hot Rod Alley has grown with it. Large or small, however, one thing is readily apparent with a walk down the Alley: this is where the enthusiast heart beats its strongest.
