"We are looking forward to another successful PRO Winter Warm-up at Palm Beach International Raceway," PRO president Alan Johnson said. "Finding a suitable facility at which to conduct pre-season testing in the middle of winter is not easy, and we are fortunate to be able to partner with PBIR in January to prepare for the upcoming drag racing season. We appreciate Dale Gann and his staff for their assistance in making the PRO Winter Warm-up possible."
 
Along with Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars, the event will also feature Jet Dragsters for the first time. An all-female team of five drivers, Larsen Motorsports will run their Jet Dragsters each evening. The drivers for Larsen Motorsports are Elaine Larsen, Marisha Falk, Allison West, Kat Moller and Shea Holbrook.
 
"PRO Winter Warm-up is our biggest event of the year at PBIR. There's nothing better than the excitement of a packed house enjoying the tremendous - and loud - spectacle generated by the Funny Cars and Top Fuel Dragsters," noted Dale Gann, Vice President and General Manager of PBIR. "And the addition of the fiery, 300 mph jet dragsters driven by women will add even more thrills."  
 
Spectator tickets include full pit access so fans can be among the crew and drivers as they work on their vehicles - and even score an autograph from their favorite driver. Two-day spectator tickets for the PRO Winter Warm-up at PBIR are $50 for adults, $25 for children ages 6 to 12, and free for children 5 and under. One-day tickets are also available.
