I think it's been getting better, more big companies have booths.

We go every year, they just out grew the other place. I heard this new place is almost twice as big. We usually get a swap meet spot every other year. I know a bunch of guys from around here are going.

You can usually find some great deals. I got my practice tree & weather station one year for less than the weather station usually costs. Don't know about LS type stuff, but if you're a drag racer, it is a good way to check out what's going on in 2007. Most of the tracks will be there with their latest info.

What did everyone think of drag race expo?

Made my way though in about 20 min. Never seen that many dually pickups in one parking lot, infact I think the only cars there were inside the building J/K

IMO they should have PRI there.

first time i've ever been in the new burg center... man that place is awesome! so big, conference rooms all over.. very nice

I went there and was at the eddelbrock nitrous/heads seminar... which ended up being a Q&A w/some questions the people could have answered by spending 2 minutes online lol

Overall pretty cool... wish there were more booths though... i may swing by tomorrow morning when GM is doing the LSx engine seminar thing

I thought it sucked We bought a set of drag radials, a glasstech hood for a mustang, and an intake for a ford. Altough I fell in love with the lsx block and the 427 ls1 from the engine builder there, although they had no clue about the motor when I asked them questions about it.

i looked at that motor at the stand. it looked nice but very expensive. that company said that was one or the first lsx motors they had built. they said they could do my flycutting but he was saying to pull my pistons and ship them there. i would rather leave them in the motor.
