TRI REGION REVISES THE POCONO LONG COURSE FOR 2003
Long Pond, PA (May 5). The Tri Region Race Group announced that it will significantly revise the famed Pocono Long Course that it used for SCCA Club Racing events from 1986 thru 1998 and again in 2002. This new configuration will run the traditional Long Course in the opposite direction (clockwise) with two new features to enhance the road racing character of the circuit. The first feature is the use of the natural 'bus stop' chicane at the end of the Long Pond Straight before NASCAR Turn 1. The chicane will lower the overall speed of the circuit and provide a new overtaking area. The second highlight of the revised course is a modified, 90 degree turn at the end of the Main Straight entering the North Road Course. The revised turn will create an enhanced passing opportunity and provide a safer entry into the road course portion of the circuit.
The entire release and a map of the revised course can be found on the NESCCA web site
