Joe, this show is only for trade, not like SEMA. At the SEMA Show anybody can attend.

There are 2 race shows available to attend the PRI Show in Orlando and the IMIS Show in Indianapolis. I wanted to go to the IMIS Show last week, but I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go. This week I was going to go to the PRI Show, but now I have Company Showcase to do (D@MN real job).

This year is especially important to go as we have upgraded the effort and we will be running 2 cars. I also, hopefully with fingers crossed, have some support coming in and I wanted to talk to the Quartermaster, Wilwood and Quaife people.

Have a great time as either show is fantastic and I would get in to see some of the seminars as they are really informative. Also, this year is the last year you can attend both shows. Next year they are moving the PRI Show to overlap the IMIS Show, so you will only be able to attend 1 show.

Yup! Looks like we will also be doing some Time Attack as well. May have some extremely interesting support coming on board also in January and by next summer. Should find out shortly.

Have a great time and wish I was there.

Got back from the airport this morning....what a diaster! Flight was delayed 5 hours, then the drive home on the 401 was rediculous!!

But anyways, the show was amazing! Never will I go back to SEMA again. The PRI show is a must for anyone into racing.

I didnt take very many pics, mostly Rotary content



Dempsey Racing RX-8



Mechtech had a display with mostly Rotaries





Yup, the 20B trike! This thing is crazy





My good buddy Edgar was there with his ALS apex seals and E&J products, he now has the side seals available in the same material as the side seals and he will be coming out with corner seals and super springy springs for everything too!



Prototype Intake manifold with semi-peripheral ports.





CNC'ed throttle body that flows 1700cfm...**** ya



Aluminum rotors anyone?



This one came out of a test engine



The seminars were great also! The Mazdaspeed guys were hilarious and the info on direct injection, fuel injectors and tuning was amazing by the Motec and Injector Dynamics guys. Sean from Motec is a Rotary fan btw guys lol.

I met alot of great people who were willing to share lots of info, definatly going next year!
