Farewell PRI ......RIP...........

I think the "new" owners of PRI made a business decision to combine two very successful events into one, nothing unusual about that. Having the shows back-to-back in two different locations must have made for a lot of "which one do we go to" conversations. From what I've heard, and it may not be true, IMIS is/was more "racer-friendly", where PRI is geared more to the retail and wholesale trade.

This will be my first (and last) PRI in Orlando and it's a toss up on driving to Indy versus Florida. I guess I've become acclimated to the cold in Indiana. Sleeping in a un-heated building at Camp Atterbury in February will do that for you!

Hope to see everyone at Thursday's breakfast. Dave DeSpain seems to know what questions to ask John Force, so anything is possible!
