This is the first time in years I won't be able to make it. It is also sad that it is the last year it is in Orlando. Big blow to the Orlando area and it's just icing on the cake to our local gearhead scene.

[sigh] I should have gone while I had the chance.

Well, considering that it was in Indianappolis prior to Orlando, it's not that big of a blow.

Any idea where it's moving? I almost went of an employee of a friend of mine...

PRI and IMIS have merged. Both were bought by SEMA. It will be in Indy next year, as others have said.

It seems to be the year of Motorsports mergers.

I know it was supposed to be temporary, but from what I've heard the past few years at the show is that the success of it in Orlando was going to possibly make it the permanent home for the show. New owners, different views...stinks!

I'll be there in booth 3316 for DIYAutoTune.com.

The one good thing I can say about the merger - we had been thinking about going to both PRI and IMIS next year, but their timing makes it seriously awkward to hit both.

Who wants to go here one night for some karting?

I went to the indoor electric one last year and it sucked.

Man - you get another "t" in there in just the right place and that's a whole different kind of booth.
