Hotbag,
I have actually been out on Pocono East about 6 times, honestly it is not a bad place to start track riding but the track itself is not all that great. It is very bumpy in different sections, has horrible run off areas, and there are more than a few places were objects such as walls are in your way if you fall.
You will think it is the greatest experience ever, what track organization are you riding with?
If you get hooked head down to VIR North or Summit Point when you get a chance, there is simply no comparison.
