Some of the biggest names in our scene are flocking to Indianapolis, Indiana, for the annual Performance Racing Industry Trade Show, this year scheduled for December 7-9.

Grassroots Motorsports will be there the whole week, so be sure to come by and say hello–just look for booth #3133 in the Yellow Hall. (Want to make an appointment? Just contact our Sales Director, Kevin Maffett.)

For anyone who can’t make it in person this year, we’ll be dropping live updates from the trade show floor in this thread. Stay tuned for some of the latest and greatest widgets, and even a few wild builds.

Still wondering why they moved this from Orlando where it's typically beautiful weather in December to....Indiana?

In reply to DirtyBird222 :

Good question. Before it moved back to Indy, another show, IMIS, was getting good turnouts of exhibitors and attendees. IMIS followed the PRI weekend - it was a chore for many exhibitors to do both. SEMA then bought them both and went with the location that was garnering a higher turnout at the time. The weather often stinks, but Indy's a central location, with a larger number within driving distance over Orlando.

It's been in Indy forever because of Indy car shops and NHRA. It only moved to Orlando because they tore down the dome stadium to build Lucas oil stadium.

It was in Columbus for a while in the mid 90's...

I get that. But keep on selling me on how much better Canadiapolis is in December than Orlando
