Motorsports Venues - Pro Winter Warm-Up This Friday/Saturday

Jupiter, January 18, 2012: If you’ve been anywhere near Palm Beach International Raceway this week, you’ve heard the rumble of the nitro cars but you couldn’t get in the gate. That will all change Friday and Saturday night when the public is invited in to hear and feel the rumble and smell the nitro of more than 20 Top Fuel and Funny Car teams.

Teams have taken over Palm Beach International Raceway since Monday, making run after run and collecting data for the 2012 season. By the time the public gets in Friday and Saturday, the teams will have a book of information and know how to tune the cars on the quarter mile, smooth concrete strip.

Teams included in the PRO Winter Warm-up are: Don Schumacher Racing, John Force Racing, Tasca Racing, Team Kalitta Racing, MPE Clay Millican Motorsports, Terry McMillen Racing, Cruz Pedregon Racing, Bob Vandergriff Racing and more!
