History[edit]
PBOC was founded in 2004 as a venue for amateur road racing and high-performance driver's education. The emphasis is on safe driving and fun events. The club holds 10 events a year in the southeast including Sebring International Raceway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Daytona International Speedway, Barber Motorsports Park, and Road Atlanta.
Each event is typically a 2 or 3 day weekend, which includes:
Road Race[edit]
There is normally a 90-minute enduro with a mandatory 5 minute pit stop, with Sunday featuring 2 30 minute sprint races. No one “owns” the corner at PBOC and contact is strongly discouraged. The rules do allow for racing incidents.
High Performance Driver’s Education[edit]
Anyone can bring their street car (except SUV’s, pick up trucks, and certain convertibles) and drive it on the track. The school includes 2 hours on autocross exercises, classroom instruction, and time on the track with an instructor in the passenger seat. In the school groups, there is passing on the straights with a point by from the car being passed. In the Solo/Instructor run group, there is passing anywhere on the track with a point by. There is also a Super Solo group where passing is allowed anywhere with or without a point by.
Auto Cross[edit]
Where track layout allows, each weekend includes an autocross. Novices spend 2 hours on the autocross learning over steer, under steer and threshold braking.
Drag Race[edit]
At the annual 5 day Winterfest event at Sebring International Raceway, a 1/8 mile drag race is run on Saturday night. Cars, tow vehicles, 4 wheelers, and just about anything else is allowed.
