Well, I guess he really is the village idiot......PRi is the Performance Racing Industry trade show at the Orlando Convension Center. Like SEMA, not as big or well known. I forget where it was last year.

It's like sema without the 22 inch wheels and girls in bikinis.

It used to be in Indy.

Say you're not a member of the general public at the show.

I was wondering the same thing. I have business cards and stuff, but I'm trying to get my brother in as well. Any ideas?

awesome Ryan you went? Today was my one saturday a month I have to work so I didnt' make it

Get any pics? You should have had that 5 axis machine make you a whole new fiero spaceframe.

Those CNC machines were crazy. Everything performance wise there..even Hooters Girls! Pickup some great info to help me out with my Fiero as well as some stuff my customers are looking for. I think I picked up 10 pounds of info....

Yeah, I wish, but my batteries were dead when I got there, so no pics

and FYI, for next year - if you have a generic name badge, you can get in

God, they were cutting a cylinder head, a motherf***ing head out of a block of aluminum on that mill.... can you imagine? Turn a $100 block of aluminum into custom heads. where's the drooling button? :scratch:

there were a lot of lsx engines lying around, and I swear, EVERYONE had a 2005 mustang on display... I didn't stay long though, had other things to get done. I doubt I saw more than 1/3 of it in the hour I was there. I didn't see any hooters girls though... :scratch:

They were close to the south wall signing frisbies. Not as much women in skimpy outfits as I was expecting. Do you live in Orlando, Whipped?
