Nice run and power! I need to play if I ever get it together. Like to see what your car pulls on the Long Course at Pocono.

My best was a 2:08. Mostly 2:10's.. I hear from others that under 2:15 is very good. The car felt great and I know she has more in her, I still don't have the ***** to go flat out up the eses.

I need a bit more seat time.

John I have posted video from Long course..

I meant the Long Course counter clockwise it is a lot faster. PDA is running it in it's Grand Slam Weekend. NEPA is running it end of May. You hit the banking after coming down the front straight. I think you will like it.

Yes, The direction NASCAR runs.
Pre suspension mods and slicks, I hit 170mph.

I'll be there to knock off a 180+ MPH

That would be nice big difference 170-180. You may be able to 180 with a good run on the banking. What times have you turned on that course? What did you pull on the front straight at the Glen? What were you making for power?
