After two long years apart, the racing industry was back together again at PRI 2021! This years PRI (Performance Racing Industry) Show, as usual, was full of events, guest appearances, and networking opportunities on the Show floor.

The NHRA stage was abuzz all weekend with major announcements from racers, crew chiefs, sponsors, along with writers and media.

Sponsor and manufacturers booths were filled with the newest technical parts and pieces to be offered along with guest appearances from racers in all forms of motorsports.

It is no wonder the PRI get together is called “The Annual Epicenter of New Racing Technology”.

With so many guests and manufacturers on hand for the 33rd annual show, getting hotel and dining reservations was a hard ticket to score.

Since its inception in 1986, Performance Racing Industry (PRI) has served as the motorsports industry’s key source for trends, merchandising ideas, new products, business strategies, and more.
