History
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
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
Anyone can bring their street car (except SUVs, 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
Where track layout allows, each weekend includes an autocross. Novices spend 2 hours on the autocross learning oversteer, understeer and threshold braking.
Drag Race
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, four wheelers, and just about anything else is allowed.
