Performance Racing Industry magazine.  “Therešs so much to see and do at the
PRI Trade Show, from the 1,200-plus exhibits of new racing technology to
Bobby Rahal’s symposium, attendees will surely require the full three days
to take it all in.”

and is focused on bringing the experience of its members in the business of
