Palm Beach International Raceway is committed to making the world-class facility even better with a series of upgrades extending from the road course to the drag strip.
Concrete work on a pit lane extension at the 2.2-mile road course was completed Friday, March 15. Another recent upgrade involved the installation of new scoreboards at the drag strip.
The hot and cold pit lane was extended by 300 feet. A paved return road from the end of the expanded pit lane to the paddock will be added next month. Along with the scoreboards, it’s nearly a $100,000 investment. Further plans include adding shaded areas to the pit lane and paddock areas.
“We are very excited about the improvements underway at PBIR. These investments show our commitment to PBIR and will help us attract more great events to the facility. We want to offer more amenities to Palm Beach Driving Club members, racing teams, corporate clients and others who enjoy our facility to make their experiences even greater than before.” PBIR General Manager Bobby Carville said.
Palm Beach International Raceway also features an all-concrete 1/4-mile drag strip sanctioned by the International Hot Rod Association and a mixed-use mud bog area.
The state-of-the-art facility hosts over 1,000 events yearly including sportsman and professional drag racing, driving schools, endurance races, autocross, car shows, concerts, corporate events and much more.
