Yup, that's a Friday. I wanted Saturday but it was full. I wonder what it'll be like on a weekday? I hope the white group isn't full so the track is relatively empty.

What an awesome time! That track is much nicer then the Summit Point Jefferson Circuit that I was on before.

Hey Bob, it was good to meet you!

Good to meet you too. Your bike was clean when you left, thats cool! Not like those 4 RC51s that decided to throw themselves down the track that day!

Re: Anyone going to Pocono East Oct 8th?

I thought Summit was less grippy (shadows caused cool spots and the surface was weird) but it wasn't too bumpy. My main complaint is it just wasn't that much fun. I really enjoyed the design of Pocono East, although it would have been nice if there were more than 2 right handers, as the right side of my tires took a good long time to warm up. As for the Pocono bumps, bear in mind that I'm a beginner so at my "pace" they didn't seem too bad. Also, the Ohlins probably helped a bit
