Default Pocono Full Course June 19

Here is another opportunity to run the POCONO roadcourse. HOOKED ON DRIVING is hosting this event, sponsored by ROUSH PERFORMANCE. What a chance to show the FORDS where the bear does his thing!

The Pocono full road course has several variations including use of the double infields and 2 of the longest straight aways in NASCAR! We might even try a few laps on the NASCAR Tri-oval at the end of the day - weather permitting Boogity, Boogity, BOOGITY!

Coaches WANTED. Please contact Joe Mills - jmills@hookedondriving.com for more info on our coaching program and benefits.

Here is a link to their site----->http://www.hookedondriving.com/morei...TOKEN=33510752

Brian: Nope not driving the RX-7. That's our friend Kyle driving there.

I was pretty busy on Sunday as that was the first time out with the RX-7 running 3/4 to it's potential. We pushed it a bit on the straights, but still getting used to the car, new for this year. Last year he ran a grey Evo, so this is a big change. Great driver behind the wheel though, we're happy to sponsor his project.

Ray: Yep we have a few more goodies that we're putting on now. Going to re-scale corner balance and re-align, add a little more neg camber, wheel studs and the roll bar also. Ray can drive that underpowered 402 pretty well, usually can play with some of you 427 boys

HEY BOB.... its the clockwise double infield to start. They use standard HPDE formats yes, then combine later on.. Their May event gave each group over 3 hrs track time.... Cost $325.

MATT: wish I knew you were building that RX7... I just sold my Ls6 a month ago--- it sat here for a year..... wouldve been a good motor for that car too. And yes.... RAY can really DRIVE that "underpowered car" too....

The RX-7 was actually built by the owner, we just addressed some issues tuned it and aligned/corner balanced it. There is a LS3 under there.

"underpowered car"
We want to change around the combination on that car. Ray bought it with the motor already completed, we added everything around it. The package made 476rwhp/461rwtq SAE. So compared to the 500+ 427's around, we are underpowered.

I will be there as well, should be a good day to trash some Fords.

Matt, I've seen that silver C6 in your shop a few times while visiting my dad Bob's GTO on your rack.

Is that "Ray" from Upper Saddler River's C6?

See you there.

PS Joe said he would do a "Hooked on Corvettes" day if he could get enough interest.

Lets lobby him for it on the 19th.

Preparing all night for the race, should have all three cars coming. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!
