PRI 2011

The 2011 PRI Show was awesome! After our exhausting SEMA Show, we geared up for PRI. We had a bunch of work to do to make sure we were professionally presenting J1N Racing and its partners. Luckily, long time sponsor ExtremeDimensions hooked it UP with some new aero, and fresh new sponsor Nissan Auto Sports its bringing in the lighting. With the headlights on backorder, we only had time to install the new "Kouki" (new model) style 180sx tails. These OEM lights are highly agreed to be the best look on the hatches.






Finally, everything came together with Jim's Body Shop bringing their support with some body and paint work. Tyler put in some SERIOUS time into this car during Thanksgiving week to have her ready for the show. We were up to midnight the day before load in, installing body panels and the new S15 front end.












I proudly present to you, the 2012 J1N Racing S13.5 drift car


Fueled Mag snapped a great shot of the J1N Trick Flow S13.5 drifter!


This was the first time we were involved directly with any trade show. It was a crazy experience and I was really excited to be a part of it. We were located in the “Pit Stop CafĂ©” area where attendees went for all the food vendors each day. I also walked the floor and in the entire show, there was only 1 other  drift car that I noticed (Frederic Aasbo, FormulaD driver).




Drift representation at PRI is somewhat new, but I hope we can be a part of the show again next year in a booth perhaps!

Each time I was near the car, people were looking at it, peeking inside, or taking photos. Here are the best shots I could get myself. Some of the logos locations, or sizes, are going to be changed slightly before we get the season started.


Up next will be an announcement of the
                       New and Returning 2012 J1N Racing Partners!!
