Pocono

[hunter164]

Who is planning on going to Pocono?? Hoping to have more fun down there this year over years past, and the more people there are the more fun can be had!! We are planning on taking the 5 car trailer down and have a couple empty spots if anyone is interested in renting a ride/use of our tools and saving some money over towing the car down there yourself.

The May 10 & 11 event should be a lot of fun this year with the addition of the Driving Impressions Pro-IT. This is the first event so we may have a few growing pains but expect a great race. The prize money checks to be handed out Saturday night at the post race party. The grid will be in pit lane, nice photo, as of now this is the first race after lunch on Saturday.

This is also a double regional with an enduro so there will be plenty of tracktime.

Come on out to Pocono, have a great time!

See you there,

I used BB Racing to tow my car to Pocono a couple years ago. They took very good care of it (much better than I do). They handled everything including loading and unloading it.

Thank again guys, I highly recomend your services;

Does anyone know if there is a test day on Friday?
There is no calendar on the Pocono website.

Does anyone know if there is a test day on Friday?

So, you're saying a 30 minute qualifier, a 20 minute qualifier, a 40 minute race, a 30 minute race, another 30 minute race, and a 2.5 hour enduro isn't enough track time for the weekend...?

[dtanthon]

Dave - No, NNJR just has the track on Saturday and Sunday. A few other clubs rent on
Friday. Additional dates at Pocono are hard to get. They are booked well in advance.

Greg - You missed the 15 minute enduro qualify session Sunday first thing. Should be an interesting event.

See you all this wekend.
Thanks,

Thanks Darrell.

Greg,
I was asking for Smarty and the tire business. He couldn't find info either, and needed to know if he had to load up the tire trailer a day earlier so that he could be of service to those testing.

And to your point, there's never enough track time........

This weekend is shaping up to be a barn burner - go check out the huge entry of ITS cars for the Pro IT race.

What gives with the low ITA Pro IT entries? Figured that would have outpaced ITS with the huge ITA fields recently.

Nobody wants to race Joe at Pocono!!!

I'll take my beating queitly.....

I've been getting a lot of emails/questions about tire service available at Pocono:

http://TheTireShoppe.com is the Northeast Distributor for Hankook Competition tires and a large supplier of Toyo RA1's. Will be on hand with tires and equipment, including tire shaving equipment.

Good Year - as always will be present

Hoosier - http://www.northeastracingtire.com - Smarty is entered in the Enduro, assume as usual we will see his smiling face.

See you all this weekend, going to be some GREAT racing!

Hi guys! Does Pocono have fuel available at track this weekend? Jim

[RacerBill]

Pay Joe to DNS!!

[dtanthon]

fuel will be available.

[dtanthon]

why so quiet?

Look at the entry? Going to be some great racing this weekend. The regionals are like all-star races, look at the names. Big fields in all IT and SM groups.

Pro-IT is going to be a barn burner as well, look at ITS.

I won't mention weather but look at the forcast.

DA,
You did mention the W word. Are you trying to jinx the weekend?

Seriously, ITS, ITA and ITB look strong this weekend. Should be some close racing this weekend.

Are you kidding?? I'm doing my rain dance as we speak!!




Bring it on!!

[Tkczecheredflag]

We are "locked and loaded" - rain tires alreay on the car. Nine months since my last race - Wet, dry - It'll just be nice to turn a wheel.

[Greg Amy]

Sorry, kids: Greg the Weatherman predicts no rain the whole weekend. And he's usually right.

You'll get drenched tonight on the way to the track (and while standing in line for registration), and you'll get pissed on during the drive home (but only if you stay for the enduro), but if you're dancing for rain tomorrow or Sunday morning, your energy's being wasted.

Get those dry tires on the cars, swap out your panties for some boxers, and be ready to race like real men. - GA

Greg - I have graduated to a thong - it's veeerrry stimulating and works for all kinds of weather - talk about takin' it into the the "twisties."
