Is this Right!?!?!?!

Yep, I was considering a Pro-IT and SARRC as a double "sprint" weekend since they're essentially the same duration. I was trying to point that $350 for a double race weekend isn't at all unreasonable and is more in line with many other tracks.

$350 is a bit pricey, not so bad for the locals because we don't have tow costs, but apparently there are a few folks willing to pay the tab, registration is over 160 now, probably just want to be a part of the "inaugural" run at PBIR. BTW, it is Palm Beach International Raceway now, that is the old name, I guess the owners figured that $18 million and counting gave them the right to name it what they want, and I would have to agree. It is being done right, the track is all brand new, 40 feet wide with tons of run off, banking in a couple of the turns, SAFER barriers, and can you say FAST!!!!!

Gosh, I must be getting old / been around here for a long time, I remember when it was called that.

PBIR ... first raced there in '75 , back when the water hazard (canal) made you think about staying flat in 5th through turn 8 :eek:

Yes, the fully suited up rescue diver made you think!

On the other hand,, he had a very sharp knife for cutting seat belts!

I remember a wet Spring national at IRP where the ambulance carried an oxygen bottle with a 20' tube on it. Turned out we came close to having to use is when a Vee landed in the pond outside of Turn 1A, upside down with only the bottom of the wheels above water. We got the car upright as the water level started to rise in the driver's helmet.
