Thumbs up Performance Racing Industry 2005 Photos!

Here are all the photos that I took in the past three days while attending the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) convention in Orlando. There was a TON of LS1 related stuff this year, the industry loves this little GM engine. Even in the machinery section of the show, almost every piece of equipment had LS1 related parts jigged up on them.

Tons of new Gen III/IV parts!

?? Those Wegner (spelling) pulleys, they 6 rib or 8? They look to be 8 which would be very cool for an upcoming project.

Some sanctioned racing does not allow EFI engines. They require a distributor and a carb in order to allow them. Dirt oval track, some road race series, etc...

How did you not put up a pic of the chick from the BMR booth!
I'm sure someone else will have that photo. When I was there, she was surrounded by dudes. I got the poster instead

I thought you weren't allowed to take pictures at the PRI or I would have brought my camera with me! It was cool to see all the new LSx stuff that other companys are coming out with.

On a side note, when I was at the W2W booth I saw a guy talking to Kurt Urban and I looked at his name tag and it said "Rob Raymer" so I'm assuming that was the former owner of QMP. Thought that was interesting to see some of the people that are known around the LS1tech world.

Cameras were not allowed unless your company was listed as a Media/Press organization. Which LS1TECH is We had press badges.

BDS retails for about $5K with everything setup for EFI. I think that includes the scoop, rails, and drive pulley setup. They said it is capable of up to 22 psi boost.

I had never met Rob Raymer until this show. He told me he is selling real estate now but still has some cars of his own.
You should have stopped by and said hi, always nice to put a face with a screen name.

I did, talked to you for a little bit, I was with a buddy of mine and unfortunately he was sporting a mohawk hair style . Made it a little difficult to talk to some of the company representatives with him standing there
