DOBBS FERRY,

We went out to Pocono Raceway this weekend with EMRA, running the South East course. Got there Friday night and unloaded the car and slept in the truck with the wife and pooch. Went out for first session doing a lead follow since I had never been there before. After a couple laps, I was pointed by and let loose on track . Encountered a problem that became reoccurring that ultimately ended my day early. The studs on the turbo manifold on the block side came out on track. I was able to find a hardware store a few miles down the road and grab some grade 8 bolts with lock washers, got them in and went for the third session. Went faster, but again, lost the same two fasteners. And it annihilated the gasket so that was my day. Not sure where we ended up in class, but judging from the times I DID see, probably a top 5. A great time as always running with EMRA. If you're in the Northeast, I recommend going out to a couple events with them as they really hold a great event. We don't go back out till NJMP in August, so we have time to buckle down on the car and make some changes. Can't wait to go back out there and learn some more. I also need to put a real tire on the car since I'm driving through the Direzzas pretty quick. Hope everyone had a great weekend working on their DSM's or going out for a good drive!!!
