PBIR April 10 Trackday Information

By Track Day News No Comments

We’re riding this Sunday at PBIR and this might be the last time!

We have a contract for April 24th that we were guaranteed the last few months but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. So this may be the last event at Palm Beach International Raceway.

Start Time Change for this Sunday

Due to the cleanup from the drag race event on Saturday night, the gates will open at 9:00 am with the first session beginning at 11:00am with riding sessions continuing until 7:00pm.

No Camping / Drop off Saturday Night

Due to the expected volume from the drag racing event Saturday night there will be no camping inside or outside the front gates or Saturday night dropoffs.

What’s going to happen to Palm Beach International Raceway?

The property has not changed hands and will not for at least the next couple months. Palm Beach county has to approve of the zoning change before that happens.

There is still a chance the track could remain a viable entity. If you would like to help there is a zoning meeting tomorrow morning. These are government employees. There will be another meeting in front of elected Palm Beach County officials next month.

PBIR Zoning Commission Meeting on April 7 (Thursday) @ 9 AM
Central Office Visa Center
2300 North Jog Road
West Palm Beach FL 33411
Phone 561-233-5000
Room VC-l W-47

Talking points:
What the County loses
Lives: increased street racing
The cost to care for the people racing on the street
Loss of hotel room revenue
Loss of Tourism
Loss of small businesses
Auto Parts Stores
Auto Performance and repair shops
Fuel sellers
Food stores
restaurants
Radio / TV / Advertising
Camping stores

Loss of jobs
Jobs: All track employees
Cut back on businesses that rely on the Palm Beach International Raceway

Tax revenue
Sales Tax and Property tax

Tourism
Visitors from around the US, Europe and Central / South America.

County gains:
Faster home delivery from Amazon and Walmart?
Increased revenue from speeding tickets?
An automated warehouse that removes a unique entertainment venue that cannot be recreated in Palm beach County?

Chicken Hawk Racing Tire Warmers Giveaway!

By Track Day News No Comments

Thanks to our partners at Chicken Hawk Racing Tire Warmers we are able to give away a free set of Classic Standard Tire Warmers! The warmers retail for $425!

So How Can YOU Win?

It’s easy. We are going to pick the names from riders who preregistered for the October 14th Track Day at Palm Beach International Raceway and the November 4th track days at Palm Beach International Raceway. Preregistered means you need to be signed up through the website for either the October 14th or November 4th track day. Day of registrations do not count as an entry.

We will be putting the order numbers from each person preregistered in a program and picking a number at random. If you preregister for both track days (October 14 and November 4th) you will increase your odds of winning as you will have more order numbers in the pool!

We are very excited to have the top name in tire warmers! Good luck to everyone!
