QTTrade shows are not for the faint of heart. You need good walking shoes,a map, and a well-thought plan of attack or you will be defeated. Youmight make it through the shows physically, but it takes a definiteagenda to get a sense of accomplishment. Attendance was high at bothshows, with the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show in Orlando,Florida, for the first time.
The change of venue opened up outsideactivities, such as the racing action at Orlando SpeedWorld, and gavethe showgoing public a chance to sample the surrounding fare. The newlayout found all exhibitors under one roof, a luxury not seen in sometime. There were long aisles, though--trust us. We still managed to findsome great products to share with you.
Second-year vendor Stackstands was among the businesses not on the mainfloor last year. This year, everyone was on the main floor, and it wasbeneficial.
