What a wonderful experience my sons, Scott, Jim and John, Dave Moyer and I had at the Pocono Raceway a couple weeks ago! My sons certainly pulled a fast one on me - what a surprise. Words cannot express what a thrill and pleasure it was to come racing down the straight ways at 160 mph. It was a thrill of a lifetime. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience such an adventure. Everyone should try it at least once.

What is the track like?
Pocono Raceway has long been recognized as one of NASCAR's most competitive
raceways and is the site of two annual NASCAR NEXTEL Cup races held just weeks
apart in June and August. The 2.5 mile tri-oval super speedway has a unique design. Each
turn is modeled after turns at 3 different tracks. Turn One (14 degree banking) was
modeled after the now defunct Trenton Speedway, Turn Two (sometimes referred to as
"The Tunnel Turn") is like Indianapolis Motor Speedway (8 degree banking), and Turn 3
(6 degree banking) is similar to The Milwaukee Mile. It could be said to be a tri-oval, but
the turns are much more severe than those of a more typical tri-oval such as Daytona and
the track is really nearly a triangle. They have been likened somewhat to the hairpin-style
turns of road courses. -
