[Video] A Day with Courtney Day at the 2017 SEMA Show
- 16 Nov 2017
Courtney Day has been a model and spokeswoman for some top brands in the automotive industry including Modified Magazine, Falken, Super Street magazine, and of course K&N. You may remember Courtney from the K&N calendar. This year, however, K&N invited Courtney to Las Vegas for the 2017 SEMA show and a camera followed her around to see what kind of trouble she could get into. We talked to Courtney a little about her modeling career, her past experience with SEMA, and what we can expect from her in 2018. K&N: Hey Courtney, so tell us a little about some of the companies you have modelled for in the past. Courtney: I have worked with a lot of companies over the years including K&N, Falken Tires, Vaughn Gittin Jr Motorsports, Mustang RTR, BOSCH, EA Games/Need for Speed, and Driving Line Magazine K&N: What is your experience with K&N?
K&N: How many years have you attended the SEMA show? CD: Umm... this is my 16th year at SEMA (shhhh). It's crazy to think how much the show has grown over the years, from being confined within the walls of the Las Vegas Convention Center to now overflowing into the parking lots and all open spaces of the convention center and adjoining properties. The bar is raised each year and the builds and experiences continue to blow my mind. K&N: What was it like hosting your own “show” for K&N this year? CD: It was a ton of fun! Working directly with the K&N team is always a good time. Interviewing car owners and motorsport personalities alike, and hearing how integral K&N products are to making their cars perform better, in all driving scenarios (daily driving, off road, drifting, on track) just reinforced my love for the brand. Plus, riding along with Vaughn Gittin Jr in his Mustang RTR and Ultimate Fun-Haver F-150 was pretty ridiculous! K&N: What advice do you have for someone attending the show for the first time? CD: Plan ahead - have a list of companies you want to visit, cars you want to see, and know what halls they are in. That way you maximize your time and don't feel like you're backtracking. It's a huge show and takes days to see the whole thing. And of course, wear comfortable shoes, your feet will thank you.
CD: Chris Forsberg's Datsun 510 wagon dubbed WagonFors. I love the fact that he combined modern build engineering, tons of custom work, with a unique vintage chassis. It's also sweet that his wife Michelle collaborated on the build and will be using it to get groceries! K&N: What do you have planned for 2018 and beyond? CD: I'm looking forward to next year being on the road with Falken Tire again. You can find me at Formula Drift and other events across the country. Follow me on Instagram @miss_courtney_day to see what I'm up to and where I'll head next. And who knows what car builds and projects my future holds, my 240SX has been feeling neglected in the garage...stay tuned. |
