Any feedback on Audi Pocono HPDE

[afadeev]

Has anyone participated in, or heard of, Audi DE program?
How are the safety and organizational abilities of those guys?
I assume they draw on the same instructors' pool in the NE area as everyone else.

They have a 1-day event coming up on 5/8 in Pocono raceway that works particularly well with my schedule.

Any feedback on Pocono's 2.5 mile IMSA course ?

TIA,

Very good organization, I'd say on par with BMWCCA.

i drove the course several years ago in my subaru STi .. unique using part of the nascar track which was a cool feature you don't get many other places!

have fun and let us know what you think!

Are they driving on the banked oval section, or just the flat apron?
Any issues with oil pickup/starvation?

interesting you say that ... again this is my Subaru STi, and it was my first-ever track event but YES, I do believe I had fuel pickup issues. Going WOT around the banked turn it would have a sharp "pop" and cut in power .. same place a couple laps in a row. being a newbie I wasn't quite sure what was going on but I added more gas and it still did it once or twice ... not good.

I'm not sure what length/configuration I did but it's the one on my helmet here (bottom leftmost sticker):

good luck and have fun! hopefully the m3 is more resistant to fuel siphoning issues?
