SPECIAL EVENTS
Two Wheel Tuesdays
August 23 at 5pm
No motor? No problem? For two Tuesdays in August, race cars will not be permitted on the road course at Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR). Instead, the two-mile road course is open and available to non-motorized modes of transportation as the south Florida track hosts Two Wheel Tuesdays. A different style of performance, power and speed will be the featured activity on August 23 as PBIR implements the motor-less events. Cyclists, runners and rollerbladers will be the only modes of transportation allowed on the two-mile, 11-turn track. Admission to Two Wheel Tuesdays is $5 per entry. Gates open at 5pm and close at 9pm.
