It was announced today that MRP at Palm Beach Int’l Raceway (PBIR) has released a four-race schedule to promote local karting in the area as well as allow new karting participants to get their feet wet in a local racing series.

The series will kick-off on September 11 for a Memorial Race in tribute for the heroes and victims of 9/11/01.

“One of our motivations for this series is to showcase the improvements we have made at the facility,” said Rony Miron, MRP-PBIR Manager. “We have been fortunate to create several new karters over the past season and now is the time to give them a local place to compete while creating fair and equal treatment for all.”

The schedule will include one race each month with the final event in the fall series on December 4 and will also run in clockwise and counter-clockwise configurations.
