    Hey all --

    Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking a spin to Pocono Racetrack for the track day event that's going on there -- I believe it's sponsored by Classic Coach, but just about everyone I know from various shops is attending..fun day to watch the races, and, more importantly, it's a good drive out there!

    Anyone interesting in joining? I'll be going with a few people -- we're taking the Ford GT, Bentley CGT, and a friend's Murcielago for starters...

    Meeting at 9am at the new GDC prep/service center - 92 Railroad Ave in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ (right next to Teterboro Airport)

    Right now:

    Me & Danny -- Ford GT
    Rob & Kimmy - Bentley CGT
    Marcello & Bill Sherman - Murcielago

    Hope to see some other folks in the morning!

    Are they allowing vehicles to track their cars at Poconos? or just for viewing?

    Yes I'm pretty sure you can track your car if you have the tech inspection and pay some small fee ($250 or so? Not sure exactly)...

    Only exotics allowed. They wouldnt allow my s4 on the track. Only companies involed with the conours...Ferrari, lambo, corvette, and i think one or two more.

    Makes sense. Am tempted to take the Ford GT on the track, but then I'd be breaking GDC's own rules about track use, so I'll just have to stick with enjoying the drive out there :)

    In that case it'll be a fun and 'spirited' drive down, too bad I can't find my cigarette power cable to my Valentine V1.....Hopefully, the PA State Troopers won't be in full force tomorrow, but I highly doubt it.

    Going to try and drop by at 9am to check out the new digs and say hello.

    Ran up to Lime Rock for a majority of the day yesterday so Pocono isn't in the cards today.

    Take it easy going out there...looks like a group of us got "popped" heading in the direction of Pocono yesterday in the vacinity of Warren NJ.

    Dang. can't make it there now. I would have loved the drive out & running with the GDC fleet. Good luck & enjoy the day.

    BTW: Have broadband in there yet? XBox/Gotham? what about a cappucino machine? ;)

    Great drive out there, great drive back -- no problems! At one point the FGT & Murcie blew past an NJ state trooper hidden in the bushes going at lEAST 100+, and he stayed put right where he was.....guess luck was on our side today!

    Here are some of the pics from the Run yesterday. Cruising down to Pocono Raceway at about 100mph, with a couple Highway Patrols sitting around enjoying the weather. Knocked on wood a couple of times. The CDG Ford GT was neck and neck with Bill's Lambo Merci, Danny (Driving the Ford GT) always picked the better lanes. Highlight of the day? Flames coming out of the GT's exhaust, not some cheesy flames but Fireballs....
