Performance Racing Industry Show, Indianapolis, IN, / December 2017
 
Ear Everything
One of the smartest purchases I did for myself at the show was to order a pair of custom-fit hearing protectors from Ear Everything. Not only am I surrounded by noise at the dragstrip, but also when photographing hard rock and metal bands and when playing on stage or in rehearsal with my own band. Visit www.eareverything.com.
Eat Sleep Race
Fel-Pro Gaskets
Eat Sleep Race specializes in racing lifestyle apparel. Visit www.eatsleeprace.com.
Fel-Pro was showing their PermaTorque® MLS (multi-layer steel) head gaskets. The LaserWeld combustion seal ring helps reduce head lift commonly encountered in many late-model engines, prevents gasket damage and ensures a stronger, more superior combustion seal. Visit www.felpro.com.
Frankenstein Engine Dynamics
Frankenstein Engine Dynamics was showing their F-series LSX cylinder heads for LS1, LS3 and LS7. These heads have raised runner port designs and are available in 10, 12.8 and 15 degree inline valve configurations. Castings are extra thick made from pure a356 aluminum and feature extra cooling passages and optimized spark plug location. Visit frankensteined.net.

Fuel Safe Systems
Fuel Safe's drag race fuel cells come in a variety of sizes from 4 gallons to 15 gallons and features Fuel Safe's durable cross-linked bladder construction. Cells Include vent with rollover protection, single bottom pickup or dual bottom pickup, drop sump design to focus fuel to the pickups for positive fuel pressure to the last drop, and a billet aluminum flush mount cap. Visit FuelSafe.com.
Futura Trailers
One of the most high-tech (and high-dollar) open trailers I've ever seen is from Futura Trailers. These are aluminum low-loader trailers that are designed for low vehicles. Available in single and tandem axle, these trailers feature a tilting, lowering deck that can be controlled by a wireless remote. When lowered, the whole deck is almost at ground level and the back of the trailer is flush with the ground, making it an effortless job to get a low race car onboard. If you have the money and you want to wow the crowd then this trailer is for you. Visit www.futuratrailers.com.
GripLockTies
IHRA
If we had a "Most Helpful Product" award, this would win it. GripLockTies are releasable rubber-lined zip ties. The rubber lining wires from slipping or getting damaged. Made of UV resistant, heat stabilized nylon and the rubber lining is available in red, orange, blue and white. Visit www.griplockties.com.
The International Hot Rod Association was on hand to spread the word about its 2018 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Spectacular, which is 20 races over 10 double-race weekends with eliminators in Box, No Box and Jr. Dragster. For more information visit www.ihra.com.
