Grand
Opening Breakfast |
 |
|
Now
it's Thursday morning, and time for the Grand Opening
Breakfast with Dave Despain, whose guest this year
is none other than The King, Richard Petty.
This is where the excitement of the PRI Show really kicks
into high gear. By the way, this is no charge to registered
attendees. You go, PRI! Pictured above is John Kilroy
making his opening remarks. His pride at being such an integral
part of this industry is apparent. |

Despain, a walking encyclopedia of motorsports
knowledge.

On
the stage with Despain were NASCAR racers Kenny
Schrader and Petty.

I
might be a drag racing guy, but even for me it was awesome
to be able to say "I had breakfast with Richard Petty!" |

|
| After
breakfast, the show floor opened. Look at the crowds! I've
never seen it this busy; what a great sight to see for our
industry. |
| |
|
| No
matter which way you looked, the aisles were jammin!
|
|
|
All
the big manufacturers are here. No matter what type of performance
shop you have (retail parts, engine builder, chassis shop,
transmission or rear-end shop), PRI is the place to keep
up with the latest products that are hitting the market. |

Speaking
of products, let's get to it! Our booth visits start on
