Some comments on the 2 shows - IMIS and PRI. I worked both shows.

IMIS - I experienced Quality - not Quantity in the attendees. That made it possible to have some good discussions w/ Racers, customers, sanctioning bodies and tracks. The density of the crowd did not compare to PRI. We (Ford Racing) had the most interest in our circle track products. A number of colleagues in other businesses experienced the same. We will go back. Many of the attendees drove to the show - and Indy serves as a the perfect central location with a 3-7 hour drive for a large number of racers. Should the 2 shows continue w/ the plan to have their shows on the same dates, I believe IMIS will become a regional show. And given the slower pace - especially in the mornings - it made for some time for good B to B discussions that oftern get cut short.

PRI - Yes - smaller than last year. The curtain that serves as the back wall moved closer to the front door again this year. Strong crowds - we were jammed from opening past close. Good quality of business discussions that seem to indicate it will be a good year for the racing business. BTW - my Circle Track products were stationed next to the CJ Roller - and it was swamped all 3 days. Lots of positive comments including a number of admitted GM loyalists who said they really liked what Ford Racing was doing by building things like the CJ Roller. They all had a big smile on their face and shook their head - almost in disbelief.

But it's pretty simple - all of us at Ford Racing "get it".

no, the rest of us class racers "get it", because you slipped some obviously bull**** horsepower numbers past NHRA, wonder how many dually's and Gt500's that cost ya?
