The Performance Racing Industry Show has long served as a barometer for where the performance world is headed. This year was no exception, bringing the full spectrum of racers, builders, and manufacturers to the Indianapolis Convention Center. Turn 14 Distribution arrived with a presence that reflected both the scale of the event and the strength of our partnerships across the automotive and powersports performance sectors. 

Show of Force 

At its core, the PRI Show exists to unite brands, builders, and enthusiasts around one shared pursuit: speed, and the 2025 show wasted no time reinforcing that mission. Across the halls, builders and manufacturers arrived with purpose, showcasing everything from nimble corner-carving machines to engines proudly displaying four-digit horsepower figures. 

The vehicles themselves told the story. A pair of S650 Mustang GT3 racecars highlighted factory-backed competition engineering at its sharpest. A Baja build drew polarizing attention, concealing its V8 powerplant under a Tesla Cybertuck-inspired shell. Vibrant Performance presented an impressive lineup that included a bespoke five-rotor supercar, a marine-focused LS caught in a web of titanium pie-cut piping, and scrapyard rescued Honda VFR800 given a second chance with the addition of a custom turbocharger setup. 

Powersports also made its presence known. Scattered throughout the show floor were drag-ready Hayabusas, fully built ATVs, and a wide range of UTVs that reinforced the growing crossover between segments, reflecting an industry that continues to borrow, blend, and evolve.

A Booth That Became a Destination

Throughout the week, Turn 14 Distribution’s booth became a destination, anchored by the Aeromotive x Turn 14 Distribution Ford Mustang build. From open to close, the space stayed busy as longtime customers, vendors, and prospective partners stopped by to connect with our staff.

That momentum began even before the show opened. Conversations within the racing community were already underway ahead of our arrival in Indianapolis. Once on site, those early touch points translated into packed discussions, meaningful meetings, and new opportunities to further support racing-focused and performance-driven segments.

New Solutions, Real Progress

PRI 2025 gave our partner brands a platform to put tangible innovation front and center. Bilstein made a bold statement with its circle track and off-road suspension components, literally elevating its presence by suspending a Silverado trophy truck from the convention center ceiling. Fluidampr introduced new BMW applications aimed directly at modern performance platforms. 

Turbosmart showcased its Locksleeve turbo adapter, designed to simplify custom installs without the need for fabrication. QA1 expanded its footprint in the truck segment, displaying its full New Body Style (NBS) Silverado kit, reinforcing its continued investment in late-model performance solutions.

When the Lights Went Down, the Conversations Kept Going

Turn 14 Distribution kept the energy of PRI flowing well beyond the show floor by hosting two off-site activations focused on one thing: strengthening community connections. 

Our Industry Night event took over The Eagle and was presented in partnership with Vibrant Performance, StopTech, ARP, AST/Moton Suspension, Magnaflow, Radium Engineering, and Weld Wheels. More than 150 attendees—including Turn 14 staff, customers, vendor partners, and even a few Formula Drift drivers—came together to trade stories over food, drinks, and a table stacked with giveaways. Party-goers were treated to custom embroidered StopTech The North Face duffle bags, MagnaFlow hats, branded silicone pint cups designed to survive checked luggage, and commemorative LZMFG hoodies courtesy of Vibrant Performance.

Friday night closed the week with the Turn 14 Nightcap at the 1933 Club inside St. Elmo Steak House. Partnering with CSF Cooling, Supertech, and Vibrant Performance, the gathering offered a more intimate, conversation-focused setting alongside craft cocktails and St. Elmo’s iconic shrimp cocktail. The setting provided a fitting close to a packed week and continued on a growing tradition focused on relationships, not noise.

Momentum That Carries Forward

PRI Show 2025 was not about checking a box—it was about showing up, staying engaged, and maintaining momentum across racing and performance communities. From headline-grabbing builds to meaningful conversations on and off the show floor, the week reinforced Turn 14 Distribution’s role in supporting the people and brands pushing performance forward.
