Thread: RIP Moroso!

Press Release from Palm Beach International Raceway:


New ownership and total renovation of Moroso Motorsports Park (RIP)


Jupiter, Florida: Following a total renovation, a new Palm Beach International Raceway has emerged. This striking transformation is now well under way, and the completion of an all-new road course, currently awaiting FIA approval, has transformed the look and feel of the facility.
The new owners are also proud to announce their Wayne McMurtry-designed all-concrete drag strip with excellent run-off and safety facilities. As the track meets the latest safety standards in all forms of drag racing, it can accommodate one-eighth mile, Junior Dragster, quarter-mile Sportsman and Pro classes if and when the sanctioning bodies and teams wish to return to this new facility.



Keep your eye on Palm Beach International Raceway—it’s on the move.

RIP.

Is the 15th still the new opening date? Can't wait to have "modern" racing facility down here. Englishtown spoiled me..

Well its not really dieing. Just under new management....

Just like down here a mall was called westland mall. Now its westfield mall. Its still the same inside if not better.

Sorry I left this out of the original post.

The new owners are dropping (KILLING off) the Moroso name.

i was there a month or so ago for AutoX. It was f-ed up. I will be there on the 19th AutoX

Jesus Christ Test & Tune 25$ bucks !!!!! price hike

Where did you see that?

Yeah, all prices are bumped up.

And I have been told from a local speed shop that the place looks amazing. Everything has been redone. Seperation of the 1/4 track, race track, and skid pad, and go-kart track. Complete concrete too. 1 of 6 in the nation apparently.

Yea, all of the information regarding the new layout has been posted on the Moroso website, even the recent sale is up on there.

But i've yet to see any pricing, but it is expected to go up. Its gonna be a hell of a lot better place than before. Can't expect the pricing to stay the same.

Test and tune rules and regulation + price hike !
