Anyone going to PRI show in Indy, Jay, Barry, Brent?
My first time going, and looking forward to it. Joe

I'll be there, same story for me, first time.

Looks like I will drive down with a buddy or two and do a walkabout...

Jay is probably too busy making parts at the moment to answer, so I’ll give a quick reply until he gets a chance. Yes, Jay & the FE Power booth will be at the PRI show this year. Along with Jay, I will be there, and our friends Jeff (JericoGTX) and Royce to help.
The FE Power booth will be in new spot this year, we will be at booth #4504. We will be in the same convention hall, but up near the front this time. Looking forward to everyone stopping by and saying hi, and of course checking out the cool FE Power products.

+1 on what Kevin said, looking forward to the show and seeing all the FE faithful there. Barry and I talked a couple days ago and he will be at the show, sans booth; he'll probably hang out at the FE Power booth now and then. I'm still madly machining parts, 3D printing intakes, updating brochures, etc. etc. in preparation, but I'll make it...

I'll be there in my usual booth across from the snack bar and rest rooms . Booth number 7167. Look for the "old guy" , That will be me. New catalogs , ink pens , Koozies, Mouse pads , plus the big display with some new offerings.

Is there a public access day/period, similar to SEMA's Friday public day?

No, a person has to be registered to attend.

After the first day of the show it is clear that it is not as well attended as the last pre-Covid show in 2019. Many of the big names are not here, including Moroso, T&D, Trick Flow, and Kaase, which of course is a little disappointing. Nevertheless, traffic at the FE Power booth (#4504) was at least as good as it was in2019, probably thanks in part to our new location, which is very close to the show entrance. I was happy to see Kurt Neighbor and spend some time talking with him, and also met a few forum members, including Mike and Bob Brunson, John Bamber, and Tom and Jared Aebly. There was a lot of interest in the FE Power cylinder head package, and I spent some time talking to quite a few people about the heads, several of them notable engine builders, including Tony Bischoff. Basically we had a very good day, and looking forward to seeing some other FE folks on Friday and Saturday.

Sounds good, what did Tony Bischoff think of them?

Tony was very complimentary about the heads, said he would get with me next time he had a high HP FE build coming up. We'll see...

Jay, there is no doubt that you are at the very tip of the FE cutting edge.

+1 on that! I'm sorry I didn't get by to see you Jay. THANK YOU for stopping by to see me at my booth. I was only able to get out before the show started , not while it was going on. Despite fewer people I was swamped with people wanting to talk to me.

Randy, sorry we didn't get more time to chat. I was also swamped for most of the show, in fact it was the best show I think I've had at PRI. Despite a lack of certain vendors, there was no lack of attendees.

Thats because your a legend Randy!!

Not me. I'm just a regular guy. I am extremely lucky to have some great friends , I will admit to that.

Some things I learned at PRI:
1- I didn't realize how many billet block hemi headed twin turbo engines there were in the world. In that building alone there were somewhere between 30-40?
2- We were with Bamber, so I got a new perspective on how many people participate in tractor pulling. We're from Colorado and it's not very common here. It's a bigger sport than I gave it credit for.
3- It's astonishing how much automotive brainpower was under one roof.
We were able to track down Billy Godbold from Comp Cams and talk to him for 15-20mins in-between his obligations. I learned more from him during that conversation than I have in the last few years I think.
Hoping to go back next year, had a great time. Nice to meet you finally Jay.
