Whew, long weekend. PRI from Thursday till Saturday and then I made it to KROQ’s Almost Acoustic X-Mas on Sunday. Muse was phenomenal.
Anyhoo, because Orlando is on Eastern time, I never fell asleep before 4am either night. Joy.. Surprisingly, I still got up in time to make it to the show. Now since its PRI, most of the stuff there was really technical and well, geeky. In an effort to not bore you guys to death, I tried picking out the least geeky stuff.
Here’s a limited edition Ayrton Senna Tony Kart. I know nothing about karts, but it looked pimp and I overheard that all 200 or so units were already sold.
Works Bell (ASpec) had a booth. Here’s Takashi and super-happy-J-dude.
I feel kinda dumb for posting this, but the award for the hottest girl at PRI goes to the Eneos chick. She looked strangely familiar.. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was someone “well known.” But in any case, I didn’t wanna be an obvious perv so I pretended to take a picture of the “booth”. Hence the photo being so bad. Yeah, I know; fail.
Swung by Alpinestars and chatted with Stephen. Always great to see that guy. Great conversation. He showed me their newest suit; mobile suit gundam! Crazy..
Puma had a booth there too. On display was 2007 World Champion, Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari F1 suit. Iconic.
In the HKS Europe / USA booth, they had their Time Attack Monster on display. Here’s something interesting for all you people who swear you need a front AND a rear brake system: This EVO only runs a front. Has to be my favorite EVO of all time.
I was surprised to hear that LOT had a booth but sure enough they did and they even brought out some super nutzo new seats. Apparently this is the girly one and there’s a more manly one too. I think I heard Shino say something about $3000..
Last, but certainly not least, BSR Products. Check out their website. They carry real race products like Hans devices, data loggers, and full pedal assemblies (not the pedal covers you get from Razo). The main reason I came to Florida was to meet with the head honchos at BSR. If you were at the show then you might already know about the news, but if all goes well, we’ll be making a big announcement about Endless and BSR real soon.
