I got my pass today to go to the PRI show in Orlando. (Performance Racing Industries) The show is on the 9th-12th of Dec. I went a few years back and had a good time. There is so much to see it takes all day to just walk around the place. It is a really good show, you get to talk to the people that make the cool stuff. Most of them are really nice and will take the time to answer your questions. You get to see all the automated machine shop stuff in action. Last time I went Ford was well represented there is even a pretty good off road / 4wd selection of stuff to look at. My pass card will get me in and I can swipe the card at the vendors I like to receive information on their products. This is nice so you don't have to carry around paper all day. I will take my camera and get pictures of the good stuff. Last time I went Boyd Cottington told me to F off. I bet he wishes he had not done that now. Bad vibes will make you dead. It's supposed to be all Love at a performance products show.

I just received a call asking if I still wanted my tickets to the MotorSport Dealer Expo in Indy Feb. 12 weekend. It is cool to see vendors showing off new stuff.

Kinda wondering what you did/said to get that tool to tell you to f off, haha.

Can the general public get in? Will be in the area and it sounds interesting.

No, you have to be someone. Kinda stupid but true. I have to register as a "Buyer" with one of the local auto parts store / distributor. It's the only way I am special enough to get in the door. It is also one of the reasons the vendors all talk to you. They think you are in the market to possibly buy their product more than one time. My badge this year actually says "Buyer / distributor" I have them fooled. They also have go cart races outside. Those are fun to watch.

Maybe you can get them to give you the first one for your "shop" so you can show off the product...;D ;)
