Alright boys were back to pocono this weekend....all 3 nascar series will be on the track this weekend, with sprint cup and trucks at pocono, and nationwide will be racing at IOWA....trucks will be saturday afternoon, and nationwide saturday night race...i love 2 series racing on saturdays!! well all i can say is this has been incredible few months, and hoping it continues in pocono this weekend going for lucky 13th winning cup race in a row!!!

POCONO is a 2.5 mile long tri-oval flat track...banking is 14 degrees in turn1, 8 degrees in turn 2, and 6 in turn 3...there is just 2 degrees banking on the straights...the frontstretch is 3,740 feet, with the back being 3.055, and the shortshoot being just 1,480 feet

this track will be alot different even though the last race here was just a short 6-weeks ago, its always different, defnatley not exactly like race #1...personally love coming back to tracks for 2nd time, because already have all my notes current so saves me alot of time during the week not having to refresh by watching 4-5 past events since i already have and took notes ...ive already started flipping through my recent entries from june

as always all leans and information from the thread regulars is always welcome in this thread...this is why we all win pretty much every single week...its a combined effort by all of us, and i for 1 appreciate all the input/thoughts every week by the regulars

GOODLUCK this weekend everybody!!!

i love these weekends with full-slates and 2 races on saturday is the best

plus i love the trucks racing at pocono..and like IOWA as well (wish cup went there)

plus i dont need to do my usual tons of hours of tape since i have fresh notes...just go over last race, and all august race notebooks for last few years...its like i get off early everyday!!!

u be suprsied how different performances are just as track changes alot in these 6 weeks baking in the sun, especially after the fresh pave job..definatley not just a replay of 6 weeks ago..track surface will be totally different and set-ups will be too

heh, no results for indy posted there yet.

[5mike5]

probably have to wait til wednesday again to have a peek at 5D openers

[5mike5]

heres greek openers:

[Reno Paul]

I hope 5 Dimes will have the lines up soon......

[5mike5]

doubt it

[5mike5]

but who knows, ill be up all night just in case

[DDT]

Where are the odds!!

[5mike5]

least they stayed at or above market same as usual....doesnt bother me too bad as long as that stays the same

[5mike5]

what a brutal all-nighter that was...

terrible tv, watched some pocono races again

ended up watching videos on SBR for 1st time ever after that....unreal

[Reno Paul]

I called 5 Dimes and they couldn't give me a definite time on when the odds will be posted.......Guess they are busy since the oylmpics are going on now I guess.

[5mike5]

no point in asking, times they give arent ever right so ur just wasting ur time there

wasnt til wed. evening last week

[Reno Paul]

Pretty sure it was Tuesday evening last week that the odds were posted......I got a tee time in a few hours and may miss the opening lines.

[5mike5]

maybe was, but was wednesday 1 of last 2 races but ill have to look

mon night/tues morn 235am (et) is earliest in last few months

and everytime in between

[Reno Paul]

The week of New Hampshire it was Wednesday.

[5mike5]

About once a week on average.....I'm not all that great in it, but it is fun.

[yisman]

Pretty sad to not have openers up.

[5mike5]

long as market stays on top i can deal though

wish they came out same time every week when race is on sundays

[5mike5]

[5mike5]
