Default Re: LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam

It's ironic that PBIR is considered to be "the end of the earth" to some, but obviously not to all. The winners of Quick Rod (Jim Morrison) and Hot Rod (Bill Clarke) are both from Nova Scotia, Canada. They travelled down to Florida to escape the winter weather and take in some racing. By the way, that's a 40+ hour drive one way.

It was also Bill's very first time racing at a National Event. Congrats to them both!

On the topic of turnout; it's definitely a cause for concern when a National Event only gets attendance as small as this. Neither Association is in it to lose money, and having these embarassingly low numbers is a quick path to oblivion for any class.
