We’re almost done packing up our gear for a pair of important motorsport industry trade shows that take place this week and next, and we’re sending along a full contingent of CV personnel to each event to tout our line of performance auto racing components and accessories.
First up is the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show (PRI), which takes place this Thursday through Saturday at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. You won’t find any fuzzy dice or neon windshield wipers at this show. Nothing but race gear! And CV Products will be set up in Booth No. 2301 where you’ll be able to take close up look at our Sprint Car Cam Drive and X2 Valvetrain components, along with lots of other CV Products parts and accessories.

Looking ahead to 2013, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) recently announced it has finalized an agreement to purchase the International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS). According to SEMA, IMIS will be consolidated with the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show, which returns to Indianapolis for 2013 and beyond. That means that in 2013 the PRI Trade Show will occupy the entire Indiana Convention Center, with Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Show days (December 12-14, 2013), creating the opportunity for exhibitors like CV Products and buyers like you to do business in one truly awesome location!
