The Pennsylvania 500

What a race track!! - 2.5 miles and three distinct turns banked at 14, 8, at 6 degrees respectfully. Its been called a "Roval" because its a combination of oval and road course. A picture named pocono.gif Because of the sharp turns, low banking and long straights, this track poses a problem for teams. Do you plan to shift or not? Some do, some don't. In the straight aways - man, oh, man watch the speed!! I think this track tests both driver skill and mechanic car building ability more than a lot of tracks. Also, because of the length of the track, 2.5 miles, better not run out of gas!!!

Expect great racing here. Can't wait!!

Let's go to the Pocono Raceway!!
