It's just opened up, I got that email about TrackDaze today. will add it to the calendar. Be careful though, Trackdaze needs 3 weeks notice for a refund, NASA needs 1 week. Weather can go either way as you said but you can't cancel with TD if weather is questionable.
My last event of 2011 and my SECOND event of 2012 involved driving to the track on my winter tires and changing to r-comps. Traction was...limited |

Josh, Milos and I were at Pocono today. The beginner group is one big train but the other groups (I'm in intermediate) are fine. The track, ehhhh, I probably won't come back here but I wanted to try something new. Lap times are so short but the track is fun. Not that fun, but you can enjoy yourself.
Only the first session was dry, the weather turned miserable fast; it was windy and raining not hard but steady up to the last session with temps right about 50*F. This was actually my first time running in the rain, ever. I ran with the R comps ... they held better than I expected, but some caution was required. Tomorrow looks like a washout, heavy rain with temps in the 40s so I am just going to use my PSS. Edit: Hey Peter I am not in this event - Quote:

- There's a 99% chance of rain, regardless of season - They'll tell you the morning fog is normal, seriously. Most of my first AM sessions there have either been blackflagged because the flaggers cannot see each other or ran completely under yellow due to heavy rain. - The only remotely-interesting configurations are the full oval or a minimum of 2 main straights connected by a banked turn (no double-infield crap or North course only). - 1 day a year at Pocono is more than enough. I bet next year there'll be that one day where Pocono is the only event that fits in your calendar and you'll say screw it, better this than not going to the track at all. At least that's how I justify Pocono events for the last few years. |

^Agreed with above, I'd do Pocono if I really had the urge and there was no track event within a 500 mile radius lol.

Today ended up being no rain at all; slate gray skies and temps in the mid-40s. The turbo pulled nicely. Lots of people didn't show up because they thought it was going to rain (everyone did), and the last sessions since so few people were left we ran combined green/black and then another one with yellow/red (they told us it was a new group called orange ). No incidents.
I can't see myself coming back here unless there's a really good reason. And that won't be for the track itself. At least now I can say I did Pocono ... right? Quote:

Agree with everything Charles said. I don't think I will go again. It was cool to ride the oval but it would have been awesome to run the triangle a few times. I think CCA was risk averse...safety first :-) Also, there were a couple of big dips/bumps as you transition from the oval to infield and from infield to oval. They repaved the oval but not the infield track so that was interesting :-) talk about suspension settling test. Are you guys going to another event or this is it? |

That infield transition sure was a test. I went out in an E46 M3 (stock) with an instructor, we hit that and it was like WHA~!!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING!?
Still a few more events on the calendar: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=691681 I'm going to NJMP Lightning this upcoming Sunday/Monday with NJ CCA, but I'm the only one signed up from our group. I guess nobody likes me

haha, j/k. I would've done that event but can't take Monday off and 1 day wasn't an option for experienced run groups. Plus I've done my share of Lightning this year. My next events are 10/19 with PCA at NJMP T-bolt and am considering 11/3-4 with PCA for Light/T-bolt. |
