Braman's December Grand Prix to end 2008 season
And first event at new Palm Beach International Raceway
It's going to be START YOUR ENGINES once again at Braman's Grand Prix event on Sunday December 14th. This will be the last track event for the year and the first at the newly opened Palm Beach International Raceway (formerly Moroso) in Jupiter, Florida.
"This has been an incredible year for our clients and the track series" stated Vince Cerone, General Manager and COO of Braman in Palm Beach. "The track events are making better drivers of our clients and provide a unique venue to enjoy the performance aspects of our cars after purchase" Cerone continued.
Six events were held in 2008 and an equal number have been planned for the 2009 series. Additionally, Braman is in negotiation with Skip Barber Racing School, the premier race school in the world for Braman customer participation during 2009 at reduced entry fees.
Decembers event will be a carbon copy of past Braman Grand Prix's that customers have raved about. The day will start with a drivers meeting over breakfast, go-kart laps for track familiarization, a pace lap, timed laps in customers personal cars and culminate with the Grand Prix.
The ten best times of the day will qualify for the Grand Prix. The Grand Prix will be once around the track for the best posted time to crown the winner, 2nd and 3rd place.
After the Grand Prix, it will be side-by-side racing for the rest of the day in the high powered go karts.
"Drivers are getting better and better all the time" stated Freddy Rhemrev, Braman's lead racing instructor and retired race champion. The novel thing about our track events is that even if this is your first time on the track, you'll have a blast and learn a lot." Freddy said.

Thunderous storm clouds and brief showers could not stop thirty-two Braman cars from hitting the asphalt at the newly named Palm Beach International Raceway - formerly Moroso Motorsports Park on Sunday October 12th.
The day started out with a 9am drivers meeting followed by a wet - slipping and sliding - go kart session that familiarized participants with the layout of the 3/4 mile-10 turn track.
Without stopping the rhythm of the day, a parade lap was performed with each driver in their own car to give the feel of size and proportion to the track from their experience with the go Karts. As the weather began to finally break for the better, the track began to dry off.
Then it was time to get down to business with timed laps around the track. Beginning times were in the 1 minute, 20 second average range and by the lunch break Raj Alexander had posted the fastest lap of the morning at a jaw dropping 1:11.758.
After lunch, competition became fierce with times dipping periodically under 1:10 and by the final lap, times were in to qualify for the Braman Grand Prix, Bruce Hollander had posted an incredible 1:06.687. This time was only surpassed by Braman Race instructor Freddy Rhemrev with his first test drive of Porsche's new 2009 Generation Two 911 Carrera posting the fastest time of the day at 1:05.517.

Winners for the Grand Prix and GP times were Hollander in 1st place (MINI # 34) at 1:07.321, Stoessel in 2nd (Porsche #00) at 1:08.320 and Jeronimo Guzman in 3rd (BMW #14) at 1:08.874.
The day continued with more Go Kart racing through the end. Join us for our next Braman track event on December 14th.

Konstantine Pantardis pounces August Grand PrixRoxburgh and Ferro nudged out by miliseconds
It was an exciting event for Braman clients during August's track experience at Moroso Motorsports Park. The day started with a drivers meeting by veteran instructor and race champion Freddy Rhemrev.
It was then onto the track for familiarization with side-by-side go-kart racing with 15 high performance karts. This part of the event gives drivers a keen sense of the turns and straight aways of this 3/4 mile 10 turn competitive track.
Then, it was time to get your car on the track and take that first adrenaline pumping ride to see what your car and you, the driver, are made of. One by one, Audi's, BMW's, MINI's and Porsche's hit the track to quickly dispatch a trio of a party crashing Mustang GT, Corvette and VW 607 allowed to play with the Braman cars due to close Braman affiliation. The best of them was a gorgeous brand new Mustang and a bastion of American muscle, driven with every ounce of energy that talented driver Jon Goldberg could muster. It's best time was safely distanced by what would be a full six plus seconds from the best times of the day by BMW's MINI's and Porsche's. As Jon put it; "I can't wait for my new M3 to get here".
The first laps of the day were over 1minute, 10 seconds (1:10.000) until Raj Alexander's Porsche blasted the best time of the group for 1:07.672. He was then bested by another Porsche driven by Konstantine Pantardis at 1:07.005. Then to heat things even further Rhonda Roxburgh handed both gentlemen a chill pill by cracking a time of 1:06.673. And from there, it was sheer competition among the leaders with each other and everyone else trying to beat their own clock.
By lunchtime, everyone was talking car talk and giving each other tips about picking up a second here and a second there. More laps were taken after lunch where the top 10 drivers of the day were announced for the Braman Grand Prix. Raj Alexander and Alan Melnick couldn't further compete as they work for Braman which disqualified entry.
The final Grand Prix lap, all others did not count, for each driver was a thrill with three Porsches dominating the finish. Konstantine Pantardis posting the best time of the day and a 1st place win (1:06.290), Rhonda Roxburgh in 2nd place (1:07.384) and Veteran Braman Champion Fernando Ferro rounding out 3rd place (1:08.276), nosing out Veteran Braman Champion Jose Nascimento in his MINI Cooper S in 4th (1:08.308) closely followed by Todd Schuitema in a BMW M3 in 5th place (1:08.423).
