There for 3 days.
You'll love it. To me the infield is short and easy and the banking is long, bumpy and scary, depending on how much you push yourself. It is exciting.
I drove only on a banked track at Pocono before and last year was my first time in Daytona.
I precticed on a simulator, but the weird Gforces ("Am I getting sucked into the asphalt or into the wall??!!) and looking through the left top of the windshield was a bit disorienting at first, but a lot of fun!
Never did get the maximum speed, I kept short shifting and lifting... Maybe this year...
Saturday Sunday DE for me. 1st DE at this track for me...I am very excited...been asking questions, reading notes and watching video's.

I will be there racing the enduro and as many of the sprints as my car will take (if it makes it through the enduro)
Peter, can wait to see you run, hopefully the camera guy will get a pick of my car in front of yours as you come around to lap me!!

now I'm really bummed. I was hoping to make the trek down this year, but an axel problem on my trailer will prevent me from going. It won't be done until early November (need to replace the axel).

Wow, this is what I like about rennlist
Thanks for the quick response. Is this a PBOC only event? I'm currently a member of Chin and wanted to visit PBOC and watch the event. Can I get in as a spectator?
