But it really is that bad... The bumps on that track are in the key bad spots... in half of the turns right where you should be braking and lettig the bike settle to ease into a turn, there are bumps screwing with you. iev been to vir, summit and beaver, and the concrete patches at summit can be annoying, and beaver has some bumps (easily avoided) in one turn, but nothing like pocono.

i know a few people that do ONLY pocono, beacuse to them 2 hours is reasonable, and they dotn know any better if they havent been to a smooth track. some people just cant be taking off entire weekends to go to beaver, vir, cmp, summit, mosport, nelson, etc etc etc... pocono is much closer to many more people than any of those tracks because of its proximity to NYC...
