Smokey Yunick, one of racing’s all-time legendary engine builders, created this unique forum to get frank answers to direct questions concerning the most critical challenges facing motorsports today. It’s the best discussion of the state of racing you’ll hear all year, with a celebrated panel of motorsports figures.
Over 600 racing industry friends attended last year's 11th Annual Industry Roundtable, held prior to the 20th Annual PRI Trade Show. It was a discussion full of surprises, and the tone of the event was often free-wheeling and lighthearted.
Last year's panel of motorsports figures consisted of Bill Saunders, managing partner of the Hall of Fame Racing team in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series; Robin Miller, motorsports journalist—SPEED; Danny Gracia, technical director for the NHRA; Brett Frood, chief operating officer of Tony Stewart’s True Speed Enterprises; Ron Harrop, founder of Harrop Engineering in Australia and technical director for Tasman Motorsport in the V8 Supercar Series; Paul Zalud, president of the Snap-On Stars of Karting Presented by IndyCar Series; Bill Schlieper, owner of Pro Power Racing—Championship Off-Road and Dirt Late Model race engine builder; Scooter Brothers, director of R&D/part-owner of Competition Cams and part-organizer of AETC; and Ken McGuire, attorney expert in motorsports legal Issues and modified racer.
This year's panel will be announced at a later date. To read a full wrap-up of last year's Industry Roundtable, click here .
