Default Pocono Tri-oval track event?
I see hooked on driving did just the tri-oval http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Yl83XuFH8g


I didn't think they ever did that. Was anyone there? I guess a car could pull some big top end on that track.

From the timer on the video it looks like the last lap was around 1:04 or about 141 mph.

Unfortunately, I am not instructor certified so I was not able to make the end of the day run. Looked like fun though!
