Just got back from running the "Ro-val" at Pocono this past weekend, it's awesome! some technical, some flat-out, just watch the bumps and the wall coming out of turn 8

Cool Ed. What did you get her up to? mph
This is going to be the whole oval in the morning. Did you do that or just the part oval and road course?
Anything else I should know?

We didn't do the whole tri-oval. They had us on the front strait, turn 1 (big bank) turn 2 then hard left to the infield road course.
On the strait between 1 and 2 I brushed 160mph on a few laps, but routinely hit 155. Unfortunately 5th gear is almost useless, so I was running right up to the rev-lim in 4th.

Anything else I should know?

I thought it was better to turn-in a little later for the bank in turn 1... you certainly don't want to go too early and then flat-spot the apex (or be tracking out early all the way to the wall at 120mph+)

Have Fun!
What are you going to be driving out there? I though I heard that you sold your Viper..??

Anybody going?

This turned out to be a lot of fun till I broke my transmission. Coming out of NASCAR 3 onto the front straight at 145+ is a heck of a thing. It really changes the speed at the end of the front straight!!

Thanks for the original post "Viper Dreams" I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

Yeah I am pissed I had to miss this one. Dave what were you driving the Comp Coupe?

 

[Dave Moore]

Yes.
I was disappointed my day ended early.
