Track Night 2018: Pocono - August 28 - Track Night in America

Details
Location

Pocono Raceway is one of the most historic circuits on the Track Night in America schedule having hosted NASCAR and IndyCar races for more than 40 years. In addition to the oval known as the “Tricky Triangle,” Pocono raceway includes a selection of road courses, the longest of which takes advantage of the ovals’ 3000+ foot straights to create a 2.5-mile 8-turn layout. Located in the mountains of Pennsylvania, the track is a two hour drive from both New York City and Philadelphia, making it a great location for an evening at the track.

I saw something about long sleeve shirts and long pants being required by track. Any specifics for Pocono? It's supposed to be a hot one.

How are tech sheets done?

Are there flaggers at all locations?

Is there designated passing zone for intermediate?

Is intermediate point by passing?

Can a novice and intermediate driver share a car, or will too much track time be lost in between driver/group changes

Thanks

You can download the tech sheet, fill it out and bring it or you can get one at the event.

There are flaggers on station to cover the course.

There are designated passing zones, they are marked yellow on the course map on the event page.

Intermediate and KONI Novice passing is with point by.

Yes you can share novice and intermediate.

Kathleen beat me to it...I've only be to two Track Nights one as a novice and one tour laps..I believe you can share a car but you must register both drivers, and pay fees for both. The same question came up at Thompson Speedway in Ct but they wanted to swap track sessions which you can not do... It will be tight, look at the schedule, when you come off the pits you can change drivers in the paddock and get right back out after the safety check helmet seat belts etc.. When I registered there was a waiting list...i don't think I'll be able to get out myself but if there are no shows be there. I'll be there to work anyway and take the tour again.
