I haven't ridden any other tracks to compare, but Pocono is flat, pretty narrow, many areas of poor pavement, and no reference points. I can't complain about the fact that it's only 40 minutes away, though!
i see.. going through the tunnel would be sweet.. flat though eh? gingerman is like that - lots of tight turns but flat as shit.. i like grattan better with the elevation changes..

I've done a few, but it only took one day to "open my eyes".

Come up to Grattan in Michigan - Road & Track and Motortrend do testing there - very technical track with alot of elevation changes.. In July there is a Susan B. Komen Trackday for $100.. Mid-Ohio is another good one for elevation changes..

Plus, Pocono has mainly left-hand turns. I came home from my last track day with no chicken strips on the left side of the tire, and the nubblies were still on the right side!

mid ohio was good but expensive, the elevation changes make for some interesting off camber turns, watched a guy punt his bike off the track on one, more like a launch actually

I did the East course last year. The pavement is pretty rough.

What do they call that hairpin right? The busstop isn't it?
