The first Florida event for Import Face-Off on January 25th at Gainesville Raceway was a huge success, so Palm Beach has been added to the 2009 schedule. Hopefully it is also a success and IFO can return year after year like other locations (schedule below) some of which have been going on for 9 years straight! Here's the info for the Palm Beach event...

We need help passing out fliers. If anyone would like to help, please email your name and mailing address to hybridentertainment78@yahoo.com Promoters are assigned a number and are paid on commission, $2 for every flier that comes in with your number on it. Spectators bring in the fliers because of the $2 off admission coupon. Checks are mailed out within a week after the event. The program pays well if you get enough fliers out. There are successful, repeat promoters every year at every location.
