Laps of Pocono North May '06

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...976&pr=goog-sl

This is a link to a video I uploaded to Google Video. It might take me a while to get this right so be patient. Quality is poor as I have a dial up connection to the internet via one-way cable modem and that means it takes forever to send the video to Google.

Event was sponsored by the Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team (CART), was well run and featured lots of track time.

Nicely done! Looks like you were thoroughly enjoying yourself

It brings back sweet memories... I ran that course a half-dozen+ times many years ago with my CRX Si. That turn at the end of the wide section down into the road course always scared the crap outa me, lol. Like trying to catch an exit ramp off an interstate at 110mph, lol...

During the event, I was more wary of the turn onto the Nascar turn. Everything about it points you straight at the wall and if you spin, that is where you are going...however, you are right the end of the straight is much more hair raising simply because of the speeds and there is a wall end pointed right at you should you miss the turn...that would be ugly.

Funny comment about hitting an off ramp at 110...It is alot like that.
