Already looking at the schedule of upcoming track days. Theres one about every month at either Homestead or Moroso in Palm Beach. But Moroso left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Last time I was there I was racing a motorcycle, fell off and broke some ribs and had a slight concussion, I think.

I'll just take it slow and do homestead a few times this season.

Once a month, turns into a weekend a month, which turns into .... you get the idea!

... Gold Coast Region PCA has a DE weekend at Homestead-Miami.
PCA events, in m y opinion are much more structured and adhere to the rules a lot more than some of the other clubs.
that's why we have fewer track incidents.
We're much more strict as far as point-bys and a student is not advanced to solo on his first day at the track.
We have two student levels: Green - beginner and Blue: Advanced , but both ride with an instructor until they get to the Solo - Yellow group.
I agree with you in that PBIR is not a great track anymore. When it was Moroso it was awesome, but after the reconstruction, it lost it's luster.
Sebring, on the other hand, is really something else!
Hope to see you at our event next month at Homestead-Miami.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
