"175 lap event, Rotax Senior engines only, prize money"

West Palm Beach, Florida - The staff at Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR), are pleased to announce the 175 lap Rotax enduro race. With the event taking place on Sunday, October 25th, a set of rules are coming together and the event is shaping up to be one of the best enduro events next to the famed Robopong.

"I think Mark Dismore and the guys at New Castle Motorsports Park run an awesome event, and I have competed in the event for the past three years," expressed Firestone Indy Lights Champion and PBIR Karting Manager Jay Howard. "The Robopong is the largest and best race of the year. I want to do something similar at PBIR for the local karting community but attract some professional race car drivers and top karters from around the country to compete."

Howard went on to say, "We are only allowing the use of Rotax Senior engines as we look to focus on the huge Rotax market here at our facility and in Florida."

Some of the final details of the event are still coming together but the below list outlines some of the basic rules for the endurance event:
