1)  IMIS and PRI Trade Show Recap  This year we displayed at 2 trade shows, the PRI show in Orlando (which we've always done) and the International Motorsport Industry Show (IMIS) show in Indianapolis (the first year for us).  I'm sure those who attended did not get a chance to see or talk to every exhibitor.  Thanks to all who stopped by, and sorry we missed talking to you or if you couldn't make it.

For new products, our new Shock Dyno gathered the most interest.  What we displayed was still somewhat prototype, but we expect to release it in March of 2011.  Here's a list of its main features:

3) Tri-Mark Performance for Tractor Pulling and Much More  We use Tri-Mark Performance of Reedsburg, WI for all our machining and fabrication.  Tri-Mark not only can design and fabricate custom parts for most any racing or vehicle application, they are outstanding for Tractor Pull Cylinder Head development.  At the IMIS Indy they displayed some of their cast iron heads for circle track. They specialize in "stealth" (under cover) cast iron porting, but can take your heads to full CNC porting with hand finishing.  But what got lots of attention was the big, "Super Farm NTPA" John Deere head, fully ported and prepped for turbocharged diesel tractor pulling.

Call Mark at 608-768-2900 or email info@trimarkperformance.com to discuss your special fabrication and machining needs, or especially for tractor pull head and engine development.
