When autocross goes bad

[Darren]

Pocono North isn't a track, it's so boring its like a big autox.  So lets take Shenandoah Circuit for example, 1:45 and 14 turns.  That's 1 turn every 7.5 seconds, and thats leaving out the fact that quite a bit of the time you spend on the front and back straights.  The same is true of Pocono North of course -- a lot of the time is in the bowl.

Speaking of falling asleep, lets see, 4 hours or so going to/from the Meadowlands, and then 4-5 hours of standing in a parking lot in the blazing heat (its always 20 degrees hotter at autox), all to get 3 51 second runs.  Maybe they have 6 runs, so 306 seconds of fun for 9 hours of work.  Thats a work/fun ratio of about .009.  I may as well buy a Mustang and go drag race.
