Default PRI 2018 - Who's Going?

Who's planning on hitting PRI in a few weeks? It's my last trip of the year. Some meetings, customers to see, and some cool products being released! I know Jason from Paragon Products is usually in the Pagid booth along with Ian (the BEST track support brake guy going and a Porsche guy).

Anyone want to try a little Rennlist meetup?

For the folks who are going, want to have a small meetup? Maybe try for the free beer night or another? I'm there Wed night through Saturday AM.

The Performance Racing Industry Show. It's held annually in December. It's know back in Indy (it had a small run in Orlando - way better!) and has thousands of suppliers. It ends up sort of a who's who of racing. Where I'm most interested - data - some of the Italians at AiM come overt and we get to meet. Same idea with the other data companies and really every industry. A few years ago I had Stand21 fit me for my helmet and the guy who designed it fit me! It's "industry only" but that is pretty loosely interpreted.

its a great show, i have been going for 15 years, its mostly geared towards drag racing, roundy round stuff but road racing is starting to build a bigger footprint. One of the best parts is seeing the new machinery and technology for machine shops, unreal what some of these machines can do.

It’s too bad it falls on the last race weekend of the year for me. I went several times to Orlando, but would rather be racing in Savannah than freezing in Indy!

It’s fun to see what the manufacturers show and have in the pipeline, but a bird in hand is worth many down the road...

When SEMA bought PRI and moved it back to Indianapolis We quit going. Have found we will know of any new products before PRI making that trip into the winter weather not necessary.
We moved to South Carolina to get out of the winter weather.

Don't blame you for skipping the cold! I'm freezing in NH today.

I like the show to be able to see people in one place. Though a trip to Italy and Australia does sound nice.

Have hopes SEMA moves the show to Las Vegas (a town which they pretty much own). No snow anyway.
I faithfully went to all PRIs from 2000 until it went back to Indy. I remember in 2003 it snowed 6" and it took me forever to drive back to Pittsburgh.
