    Default Moroso/ PBIR pics or video

    Anyone run Moroso or the newly named Palm Beach International Raceway? Pictures or videos? Opinions?

    Of course.
    Here is last Sunday afternoon's race from my car:

    The Palm Beach Mustang club website has a lot of other pictures.

    Your in the corners for a long time. 3 and 4 are over 180 degrees. Turn 10 is a 270 degree turn.
    Turn 1 is the best passing area.
    Right now, there is no grip on the track. It was a problem for everyone.
    Also, the track is very abrasive. My tires looked like they had been sanded smooth.
    They had us paddock on the cart track. It was OK. Kinda reminded me of Robeling's paddock.
    Spectators HATE the track. They built track and wall so high that you can even see the track from the fence. There is one small bleacher set up at turn 10 that holds about 50 people, and that's it. Here is a picture of turn 4 during the race from ground level in the paddock.

    That's a photographer up next to the concrete barrier. The closest the public can get is the chain-link fence.

    A few of us were able to hop up on the kart tire wall by turn one and watch the action from there. 10 times better then turn 9/10...

    Maybe there is plans for another viewing area/paddock. I am sure that they are going to want to have the option of running the kart track on race weekends like they have in the past.

    With the track being that abrasive.. you would think that it would collect rubber somewhat quickly..
