Re: August ? Pocono?

Sean:

Courtney is a "her".
Whoops, thanks for enlightening me, Greg. If you wondered why I thought Courtney was male is because my last friend with the name Courtney is male. I just thought with most racers being men, nothing sexist meant by it.
Please forgive me Courtney.

Re: August ? Pocono?

Well, that was a dissapointment! I got up, filled the car with gas, and headed to Pocono. I arrived at the track at about 9:30. I couldn't wait to get in, because I could hear the roar of engines inside. So I pulled up to the gate at the tunnel and asked the guard where spectators could park. He told me spectators weren't allowed. I was pretty upset. So I turned around and drove a little furher, looking for another gate. I found that gate 4 was open, but there was a sign that read "Authorized Personnel Only; Trespassers will be Prosecuted". Still, I thought maybe I'd be able to catch a glimpse of the cars, so I went in. I then literally drove around the track, unable to see anything due to the high banks of the race track. Since I couldn't see anyhting, I decided to head back to the tunnel to try to convince the guard to let me in. Again I was told I wasn't allowed unless I was with the group. I figured that at this point my chances of getting in were nonexistent, so I headed home without ever seeing one Viper. Maybe next time I guess.

Re: August ? Pocono?

One suggestion for next time: The Ferrari club uses a large map of the track course that they show during the driver's meeting. It is helpful for the less experienced drivers. They point out the line and reference marks.

I was out with one guy who really had no clue where he was going. He was a little better after a few laps, but very nervous.

Wish I could've been there! I heard there was an SRT-10 flying down the straights!

Great Job Adel!

Re: August ? Pocono?

Kurt,

Next time you should just say to the gate person that you're there for the Viper Club event. There were spectators, flaggers, and family members who attended.

Re: August ? Pocono?

Thanks Adel and all who helped put on the event. It was great. I burned over two tanks of gas. Got some good run time. The front straight was terminating at 155 and a few 165 mph terminal speeds coming to the tunnel turn. Ed great running with you as we played for many miles.
