Have been advised by Summit Point personal that they have the track closed today and are using a type of epoxy ashalt repair material. I do not have any further details.

are there any plans to inspect the track prior to the july event and possibly reschedule or cancel if the conditions are not favorable? those pics of the surface really dont surprise me, they do however make me not want to ride there.

Shitty track surface or concrete walls, WOW what a toss-up! Don't know which I prefer.

i got an idea.  i've heard that concrete makes a pretty good patch surface.  the best places to put it would be in turns 1, 5, and 6....

has anyone suggested this to the powers that be at Summit?  :)











yes, insert sarcasm in my statement above...

Don't mean to get off topic, but what's the word with Pocono anyway? How come nobody runs there? I've only ever ridden the East course and it wasn't that exciting, but the F-USA course looks interesting.

The only thing I've seen is that the closest hospital is quite a drive. Or is that the reason nobody races there anymore?

Just interested. I used to live 15 mins from there.

...a few years back at the mid-atlantic banquet we were talking with Kevin Elliott about Pocono...and at that time it was the cost involved to run it...seemed like they were loosing mega bucks each event there....

I don't know anything about the money, but the track surface and unspeakably shitty transitions make Summit look like VIR by comparison.
And don't forget the wall that is maybe 20 feet off of the apex as you enter the banked corner on the far side of the track

Pocono?
No thanks.

Lets get Summit right and look toward adding NJMSP for next year....
