2)  Prototype Engine Analyzer Pro v3.9 with Language Translator  We've had customers request that our programs be translated into various languages.  Well, we're trying this in a prototype version of our Engine Analyzer Pro v3.9.  The screens below show how you can request a different language from the Preferences screen.  The screen below that shows how the typical translated screen will look.  Not all words are translated, but we hope it can help people not that familiar with English.

If you would like to try this prototype, email us by clicking on this link:  feedback@performancetrends.com  If you own the Engine Analyzer Pro v3.9, it will install directly over your existing version and you will have the new Preference to select languages.  If you do not own the Engine Analyzer Pro v3.9, you can still install it and run it as a 10 day demo program.

If you would like to improve our translations, we can show you where our translation files are located.  Then you can improve them, and we can include you in a list of credits for helping with the translation to a particular language.

3)  Trade Shows Coming Up in Indy and Orlando  It's not too early to start thinking about attending some of the Motorsports trade shows coming up at the end of the year.  Like last year, this year we're doing 2 trade shows, the PRI show in Orlando and the IMIS show in Indianapolis.

International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) Trade Show Dec 6-8  The IMIS show in Indianapolis, Indiana has a great location, being near the center of the country and within driving distance for many attendees.  This year we're in Booth 952.  Check out their website at www.imis-indy.com or call 317-429-1004 to register for attending.  Click on the following link to show where Performance Trends will be at this years IMIS show  http://imis-indy.com/sales-floor-plan/   Once at the link, pick Performance Trends from the list of exhibitors.

Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show, Nov 29-Dec 1  This is known as the worlds largest "hardcore" motorsports trade show, the PRI show in Orlando, Florida. We'll be in booth 5178, part of SuperFlow's "Test World".  Stop by and see what new things we have for 2013.

4)  Recent Media Coverage  A fairly large article appeared in the September 2012 issue of Speedway Illustrated  http://www.speedwayillustrated.com/    It was written by Adam Mestemacher of UNOH (University of Northwestern Ohio) and describes how the university uses our Roll Center Calculator for setting up suspensions in their High Performance Steering and Suspension Class.  for the entire article.

5)  Testimonials from Customers  It seems once or twice every week we get another testimonial from a customer very happy with our products.  We certainly appreciate all the kind words.  If you've been thinking about buying one of our products, or are just interested in what other customers have had to say, to visit our page "What our Customers Say" or to check out our list of "Notable Customers".  You will be surprised at the wide variety of customers we have supported.

For example, last month Frank Parks of Neil and Parks Racing Enterprises described how Performance Trends' Cam Test Stand "really saved our season last year".  to see his entire statement.
