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

IHRA has had some "national" events with ProAm's incorporated into them...one per division, I believe. Any additional ones had ET cars. That was done down here in Div. 2 with West Palm having ET cars and Bradenton having class cars.

Parking was free in Orlando last year. And it was 80 degrees.

Yes, but Orlando only generated about 1/2 the business and booth traffic that Indy does.

And most of the parking close to the Orange County Convention Center was far from free. They even charged exhibitors up to $25 a day.

We had a great time this year and spent approx. $40 per night on taxi (small percentage considering alcohol bill) to dinner,etc. because it was too cold to walk. Orlando PRI "experience" is better, but the Indy PRI "show" was better.
