Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Remember, folks.  There are two particularly tricky aspects of this track.

Restarts - Personally, I like to start in 3rd gear.  If you use 2nd and you
aren't careful you WILL Hook yourself into the outside wall.  Trust me... I
did it last year.  Twice :)

Pit entry is a nightmare here IMHO.  It sneaks up on you out of no where,
and if you try to slow up upbruptly because you weren't ready the rear end
WILL come around on you.

The fixed setup is a bit on the loose side.  You have to steer the rear-end
with the throttle on exit unless you time the apex just right.

Finally, I think this is the track that invented the HOSPITAL WOBBLE.  Watch
out for it :)

Especially at 70 degrees and on new tyres. It happened to some very
experienced racers in the ESCORS DAPS series last Tuesday (which is open
setup, BTW). The tendency is a little less pronounced at > 80 degrees.
Perhaps we could bump the temp just this once?

Well, I was practicing when it seems I should have been reading these posts
:(   Pocono should provide for a better showing for me.
