i also have tons of video of my laps...one of them is already up.

PCA was there day 2. fortunately they were running East Course so as not to clog the North Course for the "real enthusiasts" :-)

also on day 2 we had a larger PDA crowd with a greater variety of cars; mitsu EVO 8, S4's, WRX's etc.

there was also one TT on street tires. he was very fast during the infield (non-superspeedway) sections. my last run i was with him for a good portion but i was in "limp" mode only running 5 psi of boost...so i had to waive hime by in one of the short passing sections.

hook up a 225 TT with some Kuhmo track tires and a confident driver and it will ROMP!

Default The North Track is actually kind of lame (as the videos can attest).

That's the only part of Pocono I've ever driven, and have to say that, while a enjoyed the event thoroughly, the track didn't do much for me.

Default there's virtually no elevation changes and only 1 off-camber turn.

once you have a few laps and learn the proper turn in for the infield course...it becomes very automatic.

the fun comes from seeing someone with a similar setup drive a faster line. so as the day progressed i tried to take different lines to see if i was able to increase lap times - or at least feel faster ;-)

i also spent the 2nd day seeing how much harder i could push my brakes...going for later and harder breaking. they held up well, but i think my rear pads are now toast. [running stock pads and rotors]

i'm a novice, so for me it was a ton of fun.
