"Live" from the 2015 PRI Show
 
Just hit Indy after a nice drive from the Motor City. The weather looks outstanding this year with temps to hit the lows 60s by Friday. Almost as good as being in Orlando, well maybe just a little bit. I'll start feeding in some photos from the show as set up continues for the Thursday morning opening. Hope to see you here.

This A/Fuel Dragster is in the lobby of the Marriott across the street from the convention center. They have taken it up a notch since last year.

Gary Russell and Dick Kincaid. A couple of the nicest guys. It's interesting to note how many fast and winning class cars the Russell family has had a hand in.

No announcement by any manufacturers about anything? Usually Friday is the day I think. Just wondering.

I didn't hear anything. There was some technical discussion about the Direct fuel injection version of the LS engine for the new COPO - LT-1. That combo could be a Bit soft. I have not seen the HP rating.

And an observation, Larry Hill does his homework.

Re: "Live" from the 2015 PRI Show
 
just got home from PRI show, great show except for making the scum outlaw street racers look good, its a crime that a racing show would let illegal street racers on display there or even support what they are doing. Take all the meaning of safety and doing all the racing at the track in the trash. That's just my opinion.

This is the Mopar small block drag race oil pump from Schumann dynamic performance. I've dealt with Verne for a number of years and there is nobody that is more passionate about oil pumps. He has an all new Gerotor SBC oil pump that looks trick.
