Powerful MPMC Event By Dan Schechner on January 29, 2018 PRI got to spend three days last week surrounded by dozens of leading motorsports parts suppliers at the 2018 MPMC Media Trade Conference at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Santa Ana, California. This is one of our favorite events of the year, as we get to meet face-to-face with makers of the parts and equipment that power all types of race and performance vehicles in a pretty dynamic setting. I, along with Managing Editor Meredith Kaplan Burns, Associate Editor Laura Pitts, and members of our sales & marketing team learned about the latest offerings and met with representatives from Nitrous Outlet, Hedman Performance Group, FOX Factory, Energy Suspension, DeatschWerks, QA1, Flaming...

Some 169 exhibiting companies turned up for that first-ever PRI Trade Show—a modest precursor of what would become, in the decades to follow, the three biggest business days in racing.

Organizers counted some 1200 participating cars over a slew of different categories and contests including the 3S Challenge, Show-n-Shine, Road Course Challenge and Fastest Vette, among others at Beech Bend Raceway Park. On the heels of the September spectacular we caught up with Holley Advertising and PR Supervisor Blane Burnett to kick around some ideas for upcoming coverage. And in typical fashion, he over-delivered. In the coming months, Burnett told us, LS enthusiasts can expect an “even...
