The Daily News Tells Us Racing Adapts Fast To A Changing World
By John Kilroy on June 23, 2011

When the economy stalled out and took a dive in 2008, our first thought was that we’d rather be in this mess with racers, because racers are built for challenges. Resourcefulness is one of the things racers love about this sport. Impossible doesn’t really exist. Forget whining altogether.

In putting together the daily news for the new ‘front page’ of the PRI website, we’ve gotten in tune with the racing industry in a hyper sort of way. We’re publishing a number of news items every day, but we’re also reading through tons of news released about racing on a daily basis.

Just wanted to share with everybody a shopping experience that provided a quick, classic example of what to do with a first-time customer.

I was walking through the little shopping district of my hometown when a vintage midget appeared in a store window. That got my attention. I was stopped dead in my tracks. And when my eyes moved past the classic race car, I found I was looking into a display window for a new men's clothing store.

Furthermore, there was a mannequin wearing a cool, long-sleeved T-shirt with a poster for an old Ascot midget race printed on it. OK, I'm a first-time buyer in this new store. Here are the three questions the owner asked that I wanted to pass on here:
