PRI EXPANDS
INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
FOR 2018 SHOW
The global presence of the 2018
Performance Racing Industry (PRI)
Trade Show, held December 6-8 at
the Indiana Convention Center
in Indianapolis, will increase sig-
nificantly as a result of new media
outreach efforts and PRI Show re-
sources aimed at making the world’s
premier motorsports trade show
even more conducive to interna-
tional business and exposure.
In addition to the dedicated In-
ternational Lounge and transla-
tors that are available each year
to help motorsports profession-
als from all over the world take
part in the three biggest business
days in racing, Show officials will
host international media from key
regions of the world to facilitate
global coverage of the PRI Show.
Special events like the annual In-
ternational Council of Motorsport
Sciences (ICMS) Congress, Inter-
national Motorsports Trade Sem-
inar, and the new International
Networking Reception cater to the
global racing industry.
“Every year thousands of attend-
ees from more than 70 countries
attend the PRI Trade Show to see
the latest trends and products in
the global motorsports industry,”
said PRI General Manger Bill
Miller. “Because of motorsports’
unrivaled international presence
and the growth in racing series and
events, such as the FIA World Ral-
ly Cross Championship, 24 Hours
of Le Mans, and Formula 1 racing,
we increased our media activities
and overall international outreach
efforts.”
The International Lounge, a
dedicated area designed specifi-
cally to meet the needs of interna-
tional attendees, features private
meeting rooms, Wi-Fi, printer ac-
54 | D r a g
cess, credential badge pickup, and
interpreters from several countries
who are available by appointment
at no charge to assist during meet-
ings. Visitors can also
enjoy an espresso or a
cup of tea in a relaxed
atmosphere with other
racing industry busi-
nesspeople from all
over the world.
Visas are required for all inter-
national travel into the United
States, and PRI can provide a Visa
letter to attendees once they have
registered for the PRI Show. The
PRI Housing team can also assist
in securing a hotel room by calling

manceracing.com.
The 2018 PRI Trade Show will
feature over 1,100 companies ex-
hibiting in more than 3,300 booths
and showcasing the latest develop-
ments in auto racing technology.
In addition, the days leading up to
and including the PRI Show, which
have come to be known as Race In-
dustry Week, will offer a range of
motorsports-related activities in
and around the Indiana Convention
Center beginning on Monday, De-
cember 3. Numerous conferences,
seminars and other special events
will offer unlimited business op-
portunities and provide invaluable
insight on the latest technologies
and how to apply them throughout
the racing world.

tion of the official PRI Trade Show

try magazine, as well as inclusion in

QUARTER-MAX’S NEW
BILLET ADJUSTABLE DOUBLE
SHEAR SHOCK MOUNT KIT
Easily mount your coil-over
shocks with Quarter-Max Chassis
& Racing Components’ new high
quality Billet Adjustable Double
Shear Shock Mount Kit.
For customers that are not exactly
sure of the final ride height or stance
they want, or what shock length they
need to order, having this adjust-
able shock mount allows for a wide
range of adjustment after the build
is completed, allowing the customer
to keep their options open.
Quarter-Max also offers the op-
tion to integrate their billet adjust-
able shock mounts into any of their
wide selection of 4-link kits. This
added adjustability is a great addi-
tion to any car, from the street to the
strip, especially for drag racers look-
ing to potentially switch back and
forth from large slicks to smaller
drag radial tires.
For customers looking to partici-
pate in Drag Week, adjustable shock
mounts are just the ticket to be able
to raise the car for highway use and
lower it down when you get to the
race track.
The universal kit features housing
brackets that are made of 1/4” mild
steel and fit 3” O.D. axle tubes. The
billet shock mount utilizes 3/8” NAS
bolts to mount to the bracket. A 3/8”
NAS bolt is used to mount the coil-
over shock to the billet shock mount.
The double shear shock mounts are
made of 4140 and are available in
3/4” wide to fit steel rod ends.
For added adjustability and fit-
ment, there are two holes on the
double shear shock mount, to al-
low the shock to be moved forward
or back. This allows for fine tuning
adjustments of the leverage ratio of
the shock to the housing.
There is 4-1/2” of height adjust-
ment in 1/2” increments between
the billet shock mount and the
brackets.
