PRI Visit in November 2011


Last November (2011) Dad and I decided to take a break from the off-season to attand the PRI trade show in Orlando.  The F1600 Series would be holding their Winter meetings there, and it promised to me a sensory overlaod of all the kind of stuff we 'gear heads' like.  If little league or Jr. Dragsters are not your cup of tea, how about a Junior Monster Truck???

The Austrailian made Spectrum was on display.  You can see they went 'all out' complete with a lavish display, umbrella girls and a multi-media extraveganza...  (oh, come to think of it that was the GoPro booth).  The Spectrum guys DID have some smazzy brochures.  This might be the car to beat in 2012.


Bertrand and the Mygale organization went a little further with some nice banners and pictures, a meeting table, and a cool car stand that screams "I just touched tires and I'm about to fly off the track"... or something like that.  Cool car - good to see several make the 2012 VIR race.


For the bike fans, I got to throw my leg over this Motus.  An american build V-4 powered sports cruzer in the Honda VFR mold.  Hopefully we will see some of these on the road soon.

I liked the statement that teh Stach folks were making here...  Our dash is SO waterproof that we are going to leave it submerged in a fish tank for all three days of the show.  Like a Timex it kept on ticking.
