Pocono tunnel turn

by Tom Hanse » Fri, 13 Jun 1997 04:00:00

Ok, I have spent a lot of time on my N2 Pocono setup trying to get through
the tunnel turn.
I am driving a Chevy Monte Carlo.  What is the lowest speed I should see
through the tunnel
turn ?   I am entering at 170+ and scrubbing off speed to around 161 in the
middle of the turn
then accelerating off the turn to about 172 when I reach the straight.  I
am still getting beat by
the AI through here - although I am ok in the other turns.  Am I really off
the pace through the
tunnel turn or are these speeds consistent with others.

My lap speeds are 164-166 mph and the AI is turning laps up to 167 mph.  I
believe the
difference is the tunnel turn.

Thanks,  /THansen

Yeah for a good lap you should be almost right at 170 throughout the
tunnel turn right on the rumble strip.  My best is a 168.5 i think but
thats consistent with 22 gallons.  thats why the gearing should be setup
to run 3rd the whole track but the s/f line.  cause when you downshift
going into the tunnel turn it scrubs to much speed off and its hard to
hit the 170 across it.

My best is 168.9. I can run over 167 consistantly.  I lift just a little
before entering, and then about half way thru turn I'm full throttle again,
I stay in 4th in this corner.  IF you want my setup to compare with yours
let me know, and I'll send it to ya.
