Few laps at Pocono Raceway

Hey Fellas, I went with a couple buddies of mine to a Hooked On Driving event at Pocono Raceway. The track was a 2.5 mile 3/4 oval with a technical infield. Had a blast despite the weather, these cars on the track are addicting; now I want slicks and suspension work

Was able to push 160+MPH on the back straight on low boost

The car held up extremely well for driving to the track and driving back, besides one wiper blade lifting and blowing off the car at 150+mph.. NO SPEEDING in the rain with the wipers on high!

Nice, one of my favorite tracks, they actually have 11 different layouts they can configure the track.
The full course configuration ccw is really fun!
I've been full circle, race car, street car hauling slicks, endless wrenching t the track, trailers, trucks, multiple spare engines....I can say the most enjoyment for me is just driving to the track, run a few sessions and drive home with the ac and stereo blasting.
My advice to you would be keep it in check, don't go over the deep end.....yet!
Actually just signed up with a membership at njmsp, it never ends.

Low boost is 23.3 PSI on pump gas. We crank it up to 26.0 and see a lot more power on Ethanol. I did not want to take a chance driving to the track on E85 and finding none out there so I was able to switch my file back over to 93.
