Imagine getting in a head on collision in your car and instead of a air bag deploying from your steering column you have a old tire in its place to absorb the impact of your face.

We can only hope it is better then air fence. I hope they don’t try to save money by neglecting the safety issues for motorcycles. I figure one round of litigation for neglect and that money could have paid for the the entire facility to be lined in air fence.

Steve if you find out anything more let us know.

Bummer! Just heard the news we won't be at the new PBIR (Moroso) next week for our track day. Well, I'm looking forward to next year.

I could be wrong but I believe this is the air fence the track will be using

Re: Palm Beach Track Day Nov 24th cancelled

There are plenty of track days available at Homestead and Jennings. PBIR has ordered the air walls and have not given a time for install yet. Cars are running just fine there and the drag strip is said to be great.

Re: Palm Beach Track Day Nov 24th cancelled

I've heard good things about Homestead and Jennings, but they are way far from Palm Beach. PBIR is only 20 miles from my place.
