PRI 2012 Coverage…

Since this was the last year PRI will be in Orlando I had to make it out for one last time. PRI is the Performance Racing Industry Show and is kind of like a mini SEMA just for racing and performance stuff. SEMA actually purchased the show and will be moving it to Indianapolis. I apologize for some of the low res and blurry images, my SLR died on me during the show.

For me the most exciting thing at the show was getting to see and touch the Innovative Twin Screw supercharger for the FRS/BRZ. The unit looks great and the rep told me they are very close to releasing it for sale. When I asked him what the dyno numbers were he said that they had nothing concrete but they expected low-mid 200′s with the non intercooled unit and mid to upper 200′s with the intercooled one. My one comment is that it looks very tall to me, he did assure me that it would clear.

The other highlight for me was seeing my friend Brian Fox at with his Takata FRS. The car is very clean and done nicely.

There were also some really nice muscle cars and hot rods at the show. All in all the show was great, I wish it was staying in Orlando.

About WBJ

"WBJ", which affectionately stands for White Boy James is what I was dubbed nearly 10 years ago. You see I was kind of a pioneer back in the day, the first white guy. I found Jade the way most people did, through Russ. At the time, over ten years ago I had just moved to Florida along with my Ford Probe GT. Of course once I got here I fired up the AOL and did a search for all things Probe which brought me to Russ. Over 10 years later I am still friends with everyone and consider Jade family. I hope you enjoy my posts, mainly about my new project and foray into the VIP world. It should be fun.
