On
Wednesday I attended Winning The eRace, a free all-day seminar

social media, Internet advertising, eNewsletters, Google
keywords, and online commerce. I was impressed by the caliber

Constant Contact, and others. |

| Dave
Despain's first guest was SpeedTV's Robin Miller. He pretty
much tells it like it is; he was a lot of fun. |
Next
up was The Champ. Despite Dave's best intentions, Force could
not contain himself to sitting behind the desk. He was all
over the stage, having a great time. |
|
 |
| John
Force in under 5 minutes! Sorry it's shaky; it was shot
at full zoom from across the room. |

Well
there you have it, racers. We hope you enjoyed our Dragtime
News On Location coverage of the 25th Annual Performance
Racing Industry Show. If you're involved in the racing business,
you should absolutely put Indy on your schedule for the
26th Annual PRI Show in 2013. Until then, good luck at the
track. |
