SEMA Garage Open House - First Road Trip!

SEMA was hosting an Open House at their Garage on the day the Nomad arrived.  We decided to drive it there - about 60 miles away.  I had Carlos and Joe do the honors along with trailering up a Drakan Spyder.  The car was a big hit and we were inundated with questions.  This event was a SEMA event for its members only with about 1,000 people in attendance.

The fuel tank on the Nomad is 13gallons - so we topped her off at the local station.  The car is happy running at 75-80mph.  The wind and tire noise proved to be loud enough to require ear plugs.  The windshield makes for a nice wind break.  TMI have been working on a small fabric roof (bikini top) for the Nomad.  This will be a welcome addition as the guys drove up with the hot CA sun beating them down.  The fuel mileage was around 22mpg on this trip.
