Who is going to PRI

Who is planning to be at PRI this year?  We’re going Thursday and Friday.  I figured it would be a typical sticker gathering fest, but had some excellent talks with reps last year and got some important info and made good contacts.  hoping to do the same this year.  

Plus it was kinda cool to see my car repeatedly on the video at the GRM booth 

also we’re staying at the best western in plainfield, though not a pri shuttle stop it’s right next to la quinta, which is.  

What does it take to get credentials to go to that show?

Would applying as Dead Skunk Motorsports be enough?

I wish I could.

I'll be there, probably on Thursday.  Several members of Hope College's Formula SAE Team will be going as well and are taking Claude Rouelle's Vehicle Dynamics seminar a few days before PRI starts. If I can free the time, I'm going to take the seminar too (I'm the advisor for the team).

I'm intermittent, depending on RX schedule, weather, other crap to do. 

sadly i won't be getting out to it this year, next year I plan to head out, hopefully with either the 323 or more likely the Escort in tow. 

I'll be in booth 3359 again.

I'm trying to convince the boss - afterall we 3D print metal parts. 1 off stuff should be a good for that kind of crowd...

Then we should find each other 

I went last year. I should go again this year. I enjoyed

In reply to Patrick :

Lets! I think I should be there the whole time. 

Less than a week, what’s the deal?

we’ll be there Thursday afternoon and friday.  I can be texted during the show provided i hear my phone.  Three three oh 2 4 2 zero seven seventy-one

I'll be there in Booth 9400 with White Pony Dry on Friday and Saturday. I'll be in the booth only a portion of that. 

 

I'll be there on Thursday to wander around but I will be doing some research on how I'll equip my next race car.

I feel like i need to meet you after being so heavily involved in the mazdeuce miata saga

For my future reference-  I have enough points on my visa card to go to Indy, and get a hotel free, but not anywhere near the show.  I became paralysed by indecision, and just gave up.  I presume there are hotels with shuttles, or airport shuttles, or something... 

So, if I want to go next year and not drop $400 a night downtown, where do I stay that is not downtown, but reasonably accessible?

Ill be there Thursday and Friday all day. 

confirmed! I am in! I need to find my badge as it is somewhere in the building....

if anyone wants to talk about metal 3d printing I can make a stop by your booth and discuss, otherwise I will be walking around lusting at stuff. 

We’re staying free with points at the airport best western, and pri has a shuttle van to the la quinta in the same parking lot as the BW.  They have several hotel shuttle routes on their site.

sent you a message, lets make it happen! 

Tim, Tom, Katie, Nancy, Kevin and I will all be attending the PRI Show.   Come on by the GRM booth #3133 and say hello!  

Please don't be offended if we're busy in meetings at the booth, and can't talk long---- -PRI is an extremely busy time for us.  

That said, it's always nice to meet and see folks face to face, so be sure to come by and introduce yourself!  

Look for Wreck Racing's $2018 Challenge entry in our booth.  (5-series BMW)  It should be hard to miss!
