Pocono Road Course 02 July 2022
That looks like fun. Kind of a tight, technical course for the Barracuda.
Back in 2012 I did a track day with my 67 fastback at Willow Springs in SoCal, a long, fast track (full 1/4 mile straight). Hit 110 before braking into Castrol Corner, and held 90 through the Sweeper. It was huge fun and a little scary, and quite a physical workout. Willow has a lot of elevation change — it's steep uphill from the exit of Rabbit's Ear to the apex of the Balcony, and I definitely didn't have enough power in this section. Then even steeper downhill to the left-hander, which it couldn't really handle either due to massive understeer with all the weight transfer forward. But it was great on the high speed stuff on the back side — I was overtaking people in that section.
