PRODUCTS & PRESS 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 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.

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.
