Mazda Motorsports Media Update By Christen D'Alessandro on April 17, 2013 Yesterday, PRI attended the 7th Annual Mazda Motorsports Media Update at Mazda Research and Development in Irvine, California. We discovered what’s new for Mazda in 2013, were introduced to MazdaSpeed7, learned about the SKYACTIV-D Clean Diesel engine and finished up with a tasty lunch from TK Burgers. Mazda Director of Motorsports John Doonan made a key point that Mazda is very proud of: “More Mazdas are road raced on any given weekend than any other manufacturer.” Mazda’s 2013 programs consist of SCCA and NASA club racing, including B-Spec racing, Skip Barber MX-5 and Formula car schools and series, SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup, Mazda Road to Indy (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Firestone Indy Lights), IMSA Cooper Tires...

Arnold Palmer continues to amaze, and his contribution is backed by the striking power of his loyal army of fans. Arnie’s Army lives on as his living legend continues to grow. Golf is his game—he made it so. Games ask us to perform at our highest level in the face of the best competition. Putting the white ball in the cup is surprisingly similar to being given a cup after winning a race. When our leaders move beyond the playing limits of their respective sport, the true legends continue to excel for the duration of the career of life. Learning from their wisdom is what motivates...

PRI has never conducted such a survey before, as we’ve always enjoyed close communication with exhibitors and attending buyers. But, it’s always worthwhile to verify your perspective on your business, and I’m happy to report that there was good news in the results. In this changing world, the racing industry trade show still retains its power in the marketplace. The digital revolution may have captured everyone’s attention the past several years, but it does not trump the value of meeting face to face to conduct business, and get your hands on the components as part of new product sales...
