He was there because his drift car was featured at a booth. I forgot which, but I saw his car being transported to SEMA when I was driving up on Monday.

Looks like Lexus is now beginning to use Tanner Foust more for LFA public appearances.

I wonder if they are replacing Scott Pruett with Tanner Foust for public appearances.
No. Lexus utilizes Scott at different appearances and venues for the LFA. Scheduling for these drivers vary. Scott made it to SEMA a few years ago during the launch of F and F-Sport. Joe Bacal (JT Grey/Cancer Treatment Centers of America)was roaming around SEMA this year.

Claus Ettensberger and Tanner Foust are friends. I am sure he was just passing through his booth....

PLUS, Tanner goes every year. I was standing next to him back in SEMA 08' ...

Joe, were you at SEMA this year? Sounds like you were. I didn't see you at all.

Some people really love a 5spoke design but I never have.

So here are just some of the pics I took at the CEC booth at SEMA last week. Here are those H&R Spacers up close installed on the CEC wheels. They were on all 4 wheels.

The first pic is very subtle in the fact that everyone is "seemingly" ignoring the SLS Nice shot!

i feel the same. i have a feeling these wheels were made for BMW. CEC just picked some wheels off the self and slapped them on the car. with spacers of course.
