PRI—The First 25 Years By John Kilroy on October 26, 2012 Racer’s candy store. Racer heaven. Race engine builder’s paradise. These are phrases we’ve heard to describe what has simply become known as PRI. The 25th edition of this grand gathering of speed merchants will open its doors in Orlando on Thursday morning, November 29. For the 25th time, attending buyers will find a professional trade show atmosphere featuring outstanding displays of the latest advances in racing products, precision machining equipment and much more.

If it was Chris Economaki, it was time to watch television. Racing was on. I didn't experience National Speed Sport News until I started at PRI 22 years ago. One of the first directives to me upon getting hired was, "Read Chris Economaki's column every week." And that was a directive I passed along to every editor or salesperson ever hired by PRI in my time here. Chris told it like it was. There was one place to find the news in motorsports with no spin attached. Chris' prose reminded me of some of the great newspaper columnists I had come to admire, from the LA Times' Jim Murray to Chicago's Mike Royko. They were all of...
