vids from Ponoco this past weekend. my fist time doing Pocono Long course. this course requires large nads and apparently mine weren't very large.

i could have carry a lot more speed through the banks but didn't really feel like testing the walls at 140+ mph. it was also frustrating trying to set up a flying lap because of on track traffic. they combined HPDE4, TT and instructors in one group. i think the double infield would have been much more fun.

Pocono Long Single infield clockwise, fast time was 1:37.1xx

I love it when a video starts off with a guy basically wrecking...

Good damn that Pocono straight is long, did you top out 5th gear or what?

 

I think pocono straight is one of the longest. I was around 6800 rpm in 5th and it was pulling slowly. It would probably tach out if I wasnt too scared to carry more speed through the bank or ran smaller tires.

 

that wasn't a wreck.. he just had cold tires.

Can't wait to see these tonight when I get home. do you have any of the Ferrari challange cars in there???

 

Marc is wright, he went off at the same corner twice on two different session on the first hot lap. He's a good driver but I guess he forgot how fast you are going down the straight.

Ill have to edit out some clips if the Ferrari Challenge tonight. You can click on the link and watch it on youtube on your iphone

 

His line looked awful wide, but I've never driven at Pocono so I really can't say if thats correct or not. Certainly wasn't the same line as you...

 

He missed his brake zone and trail brake and the rear came out. Some people like to go wide there also because of bumps on the inside line.

 

Pocono looks like fun but the bumps coming out of the infield look ridiculous.

 

The bumps on the oval was ridiculous also. You can't see it on the video but I can fell the car skipping sideway hitting the bumps on the banks.

 

Dan, you have competition in the "stanced" thread....btw the tags on that thread are funny. check out the quote:

 

That's nuts! (re: pocono and bumps)
