PRI 2014: More Race Cars, Cool Cars, Trucks, And Sweet Shiny Parts From The Massive Show Floor – Also, Epic Top Fuel News

Day two at the 2014 PRI show was a great one. The show has over 100 more vendors than it had in 2013, the foot traffic seems higher, and the people displaying their wares here are reporting that the market is looking more active and vibrant that it has for several years. That’s not just one opinion, that’s the theme we are hearing from guys who are selling diesel stuff all the way through the guys making parts that will end up on nitro cars and other really heavy duty stuff. We’ve been having a ball meeting with people, seeing the new stuff and learning about innovations and products that will make race cars run harder, corner better, and generally perform at a higher level. Yes, there are street machine parts here too but the race stuff has really gotten our juices flowing pretty hard this year.

In great racing news Clay Millican has inked a deal with a new team owner and they will race under the Parts Pro banner with David Grubnic turning the screws on the car in 2015. They are planning on making the full pull on the NHRA tour. This is more good news for the top fuel ranks which has been brimming with it recently. Larry Dixon will be making the full tour in 2015, Dave Connolly will be running the full tour in a dragster, and now Millican and Grubnic as a duo will be awesome to watch as well. Awesome, right?

In other drag racing news, IHRA has announced that they will once again have Pro Mods at their events and that information rip sawed through the show like mad with door slammer racers getting all jacked up about the opportunity to run under the sanction that first adopted the class back in the 1990s. Pretty good week for big time drag racing we’d say!

But it all comes back to the cars and the parts, right? Here’s some of the neatest stuff we have seen so far for your viewing and drooling pleasure!
