LIVE! from the PRI Show

Alex Denysenko · 12-15-2013, 01:34 PM

although parking was a HUGE pain in the ***** and outrageously EXPENSIVE $25 per day week days $10 on Saturday

for the first time in years we were actually able to get through the entire show, it took 3 days but we did it great show, glad to see it back at Indy.

I parked just north of union station $14. Went into Crowne Plaza and took skywalk over.

Here is my PRI news:

I stopped by the IHRA booth and asked them if the National event at Martin,Michigan would count for points in case I decided to run with them this year.

They told me that they are having two Pro Am races the week after the National (which I knew)

The National event will be ET cars only.Did anybody else know that?

It doesn't sound like IHRA is going to be that great with the new owners.....

All things considered I thought the show was GREAT! There was nothing anyone could do about the weather, but other than the bone-chilling temperatures on Thursday morning and the snow which started to melt early on Saturday there were no environmental impacts. There was a small lot right behind the Convention Center (on the Lucas Oil Stadium side) which was open on Thursday and Friday for $10 a pop, and right across the street a municipal multilevel deck for Saturday (but you could tell they were getting ready for the Game Day influx!).

There were huge crowds on all three days, a lot of very informative seminars and from the traffic at the booths it looks like the performance racing industry is in very good shape! I'm already looking forward to next years show!

IHRA announced today that they would be hosting a Wildcard race at the Summernationals at Cordova Dragway in Illinois.
