    Is this next Saturday? I'll be up that way (Lehighton) at Blocker's HD, at the Snakes Alive show (Vipers and Cobras).

    I am planning on attending one of the four days, but I was wondering, which one would be the best to attend? I heard the track day is the one to go to, but there are more than one track days, but I heard an exotic car rally from New York will be there, so I am not sure which day to head up to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jared

    Jared, without having any long glass, I would recommend the concours on Saturday. Pocano is not a great spectator track.

    I would think its one of the best. Some likely to dissagree but with the track event in conjunction with the concourse its pretty cool. Jon in delaware

    Before I was an F-car owner, I often spectated at the track day on Sunday, but rarely went to the Concours. The Concours is nice, but there's nothing like hearing and seeing the cars go. Afaik, The Concours on Saturday is the only event officially open (for a fee) to those who haven't registered.

    The first time I attended the track day (many years ago), I paid $20 at the gate at Pocono Raceway. In following years, however, I haven't been able to get a straight answer whether this is still permitted. Since then, I've registered for the event (it's too long a drive not knowing if you're getting in). I haven't attended the last few years, though. Bad weather and often only going one day are the reasons. If I could pay at the gate on Sunday, I would likely go every year.

    I am unsure on Saturday because my sister is moving into Maryland that day for an internship, so I think I'm out on a ride. Maybe, maybe not, but I could make another day if my dad isn't too beat up from Saturday.

    We're going - entered in Concours and Sunday track day.

    Is Concours judging FCA rules?

    Yes, the judges are from FCA.
