Nick, just got an email that roll racing is the first event to happen AND WE GET LUNCH...wohooo party on! Call / shoot me a text about your ETA at the track so we can coordinate. Last I read the runs will begin around 10:30 - there is a caravan coming from north to the track that includes the hosts of the event.

Let the fun begin!

Anyone going to Pocono next Spring ?

Apparently they have some 1/2 mile roll-racing gig going on. I believe it's April 21st, 2013.

Yes... they run right down the front stretch.
Correction... April 21st 2013. (Not the 13th)

I will definitely be there if I don't blow my car up before then.

$35. Not sure how they are handling people who want to spectate that have not already paid (sign up cut off has passed). I'll see if I can find out.

Here's a link to the event:

Does not look like you can just show up and pay to spectate. There may be pre-purchased spectator spots available for purchase. Check back here on Friday ==> http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/...0#entry1048659

I see you joined over on the ER site.

Looks like I have 4 months to turn up the wick and get the car dialed in.

No that's some funny **** right there. Yup, joined ER

Gotta stay in the know for any of these types of events. So rare that we get them in the NE. Poconos will be a blast!

I think a lot of people will see first hand how fast these GTR's are!! I will guesstimate and say you will see 4 GTR's in the 8's today. Should be EPIC just like the title. I would love to see Nick's car do some damage though
