Sorry, but Orlando is NOT a good racing trade show location.

If you're looking for a warm place to vacation, sure, go to Orlando.

If you're looking to do real business, Indy is much better.

The weather in Indy was fine. Cold? Yes. But very little precipitation.

The Indy location is not great for the guys selling trailers and tow vehicles, because they're outside. Otherwise, the business, which is what the exhibitors are spending money to be there for, is inside.

We had a huge drop in customer visits while it was in Orlando as many "registrees" took their wives and kids for a company vacation while our customers (the racers who drove in to Indy from at least 5 near neighboring states) did not make the expensive 20 hour trip to Florida.

^^^^ THIS x2!



Plenty warm enough in the hall! I love that a couple of our Loose Rocker racers from New Jersey were wearing their ATI Fall Footbrake Frenzy event shirts... and I happened across them while they were standing in front of the ATI booth. Perfect timing!

Indy is a manageable drive for many people, I drove there from Minneapolis
