The Performance Racing Industry Show is a great place to see and learn about the very latest in race parts.
The Show is also an educational experience through its seminars and conferences, which cover a full range of topics ranging from safety to sponsorship.
The Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) gave a presentation of profound importance to every corner of motor racing. Government regulation of off-highway motorsports and SEMA's effort to prevent it.
Talk about a smooth operator, check out Larry Larson's wild ride down at Willowbank Raceway after his vehicle's parachute failed to blossom. Larson simply spun the car out in the shutdown area without the least little scratch to his neat Chevrolet.
A new video series from the makers of the Legends: The Series, CompetitionPlusTV presents the best stories of drag racing as told by the legends themselves. In this episode, veteran nitro tuner Nicky Boninfante tells the story of the day Bob Gilbertson, with a bit of encouragement from Boninfante, not only destroyed a pit bike, but also a rental car, pavement at Las Vegas drag strip and the team owner's wallet. It's the story which never ceases to amaze many.
You knew their drivers, and their series, but there's a strong chance you haven't a clue who they are. Steve Earwood and Dave Densmore were behind the scenes publicists, who painted the media world with the value of NHRA championship drag racing. Just like those they pitched to the press, there was nothing conventional about the duo of Earwood and Densmore. This teaser will give you an idea of the lengths they went to get NHRA and its famous drivers in the sports pages, and evening news broadcasts.
You've eaten all the turkey, ham or whatever food you can stuff in your belly this Christmas day. You've assembled the toys, bounced the kids (or grandkids) on your lap. You've even taken a nap in your favorite chair.
It's time for you.
It's time to keep up your streak of 365 consecutive days of drag racing exposure.

This seminar, moderated by Bobby Bennett of CompetitionPlus.com and featuring Mark Walter of MotorManiaTV.com, Brian Lohnes of Bangshift.com, and Warren Evans of NHRA D3TV, was presented at PRI 2016 in Indianapolis on December 9, 2016.
Past IHRA Pro Modified champion Quain Stott has found a new calling in life. The rags to somewhat riches drag racing story now has a new chapter. Stott is building, racing and organizing period correct Gasser events before packed houses in the Carolinas. This is his story and the art of building these unique hot rods.
Jeff Jacobson knew his idea would defy logic from those who admire classic automobiles. The longtime Gasser fan, who had become infatuated with the Southeast Gassers while attending the Byron Dragway Meltdown Drags, decided when no one was willing to give him appropriate money for a '55 Ford Fairlane he found in his hometown of Boyd, Wisconsin, that he'd cut up the vintage Blue Oval and turn it into a Gasser.
The "Skairlane", a 427 SOHC Ford-powered, clutch assisted four-speed car, is a car he built with the sole purpose of having fun.
Rolling with the legendary Scott Kalitta back in the day and few rolled with the second-generation drag racing more than Nicky Boninfante.

Storytellers is an original video series from CompetitionPlus.tv.
