As we explored the many exhibits there were some that caught our eye.

At the BendPak display they showed off a variety of light weight, yet strong ramps.

Their design was great being exceptionally light weight, yet their capacity for handling weight was amazing.

These Koni coil-overs sported Swift Springs.

CSM has these bolt-on tools for suspension set-up at the track or in the garage.

Freedom Race Lifts | USA – Freedom Vehicle Lifts LLC will lift your racecar higher than you would expect AND with no hydraulics, no pneumatics, no cords, no hoses. They are amazing.

The EPPCO display featured Fender covers, and their Tiger Grip nitrile gloves. They have a raised texture surface offering superb grip and are powder free. Check them out at Sales@Eppco.net or give them a call at 216.382.8300.

StrataSys does some amazing 3D printing in materials that are strong and flexible. Her I am checking out on of their printed hoses:

PEM has carbon fiber driveshafts, axles, gears and more.

What a surprise it was at MCS – motion control suspension. Just as I was asking the representative about their product a customer stepped up and gushed about their product from her own experience.

She talked about her own on-track experience and how even going over gators on the apex of corners the MCS shocks allowed her race car to stay in contact with the track and still provide the control required. She said that she would never go back to what she was using prior to the MCS product.

LIQUI MOLY is known for their lubricants of all types and applications, but this one was new to me…

There on the left is their turbo-charger additive to ensure that the bearings are lubricated for the start-up and the continuing stress of racing, high rpms, and heat.

Laser Marking Technologies had an impressive display of what they can do laser marking many different kinds of materials and surfaces, but this laser etched photo was very impressive.

Curto-Ligonier had many examples of their capabilities in sand casting of aluminum and magnesium.

G-FORCE racing gear was at PRI as well showing off their latest helmet technology.

We had met the folks at Boss Hog performance torque converters at last year’s PRI and their star welder is this young lady of 11 years of age whose MIG welding you would swear was TIG, it is so perfect.

Vyper had this fantastic display of shop chairs and work stools. A shop environment can be one where a standard work chair can be challenged by compromised surfaces and prone to tip-over. The Vyper solutions are strong study and very stable.

From creepers to chairs they have what you need.

NecksGen has some excellent solutions to providing neck protection.

Even down to protection for weekend track day participants who are limited to the DOT three-point belts.

Yes, there are floor jacks that are low enough to reach under a race car and even have the capability to lift with just a few pumps of the handle, but what do you do when you find that your jack is so far under the vehicle that you don’t have room enough to pump up the jack with the handle?

Honestly, I could go on and introduce you to many other great company products. But for now, I hope you find these insights of value.
