LeMans-Pennsylvania

OK, I know "LeMans" and "Pennsylvania" don't exactly go together.

But EMRA will have a LeMans start at their 2-Hour enduro on Sept 8 at Pocono raceway. We'll also have sprint races and Time Trials (for street cars) on Sept 9.

So if you want to see a LeMans start at a road race, this may be the only place you'll get to see one these days. They don't even do it at LeMans anymore.

Actually, it's a modified LeMans start: The cars are angle-parked on the main straight and the drivers are safely belted into their cars. Each car has a "runner" that runs across the pit lane and up behind his/her car. When the runner smacks the car with their hand, the driver can start the car.....and proceed to do hairy burnouts.

Last year, my runner was a track-star gal and I got out ahead of a lot of folks.

Then they all passed me. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Still, great fun. Be there or be square! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/square.gif

Sounds like a Blast:

Sept. 8th? Does`nt "Moss Motors" have their Show in Dover that Sat?

If so; I`ll be there on Sun but would love to see the "Lemans" start:

Hi Nial;

What time does the Lemans Start; START?

If its early enough; I just may be able to make the track & Moss Motors:

I agree about Watkins: I would have enjoyed being there myself but as you say; Can`t be in 3 places at the same time: Next year:

Hope to see you tomorrow;
