LIVE! from the PRI Show

[D.Johns]

The driller is such a great car you'd think it was a show car instead of a drag car. The car is top notch for sure!

Anybody know who did the chassis, paint and lettering on "The Driller"?

While many complain about PRI moving back to Indy, and the weather was a little cold for some, moving the show back to Indy was the right thing to do. Indy is a far better location for the PRI trade show than Orlando. Indy is far more central than Orlando, and allows the show to be focused on racing business, which is what the show is all about. It isn't the best possible vacation destination, but the PRI trade show is not about a vacation, it is about racing business. I can tell you that far more business was done at Indy than would have been done at Orlando.

There are two real problems right now, the biggest being that the show is a little broken up, in more than 1-2 rooms. The other being that for now it seems to be stuck on a date that is 1-2 weeks later in the year than it should be. It will be December 11, 12, and 13 next year, when it should be December 4, 5, and 6 at the latest. The date, however, must accomodate both the Colts football team, and the other events already scheduled before the PRI trade show moved back. I think the show may be even bigger and better next year.

Scott Brown at Hachinski Race Paint did the artwork. The Sept 20 ND showcased the car as it's Featured Flyer....I recall there was a bit of an uproar that it didn't win Best Appearing at the US Nats.

Move it to New Orleans!!! We have the room, and what a party!!!!
Almost guaranteed not to have snow or ice!

Alan, I agree. The outside temp doesnt affect the business conducted. It is in a heated building. Less chance to be distracted by the kids to Disney etc. Less likely the family will come and need entertained, however the earlier dates would make it less hateful outside.
Missed it, Had to work.....Next year.

Driller debut was at a nat.event and a dragster won best eng., remember that people, what a joke,that car should have doubled up that day,best engineered. and appearing if that is possible.
