Title: Pocono now cancels
Post by: Here they come on February 05, 2021, 05:02:22 PM

PD didn’t start clearing track until Thursday.  Like Yonkers, another  track who doesn’t care about racing. Waiting so long now has track a mess.  Who’s in charge over there? Totally irresponsible.

Pocono had 30" of snow and temperatures which froze the track solid. Will take 2-3 days of sun hitting it to get it in racing condition--you can jog on it--but a racing surface is harder to get perfect. I was amazed they voted to start racing there earlier in the season-its really freezing up there jan feb--IMHO  start beginning of March-then go on till December.

Pocono used to start the season in mid to late March for that reason.
Nasty winters in the mountains.
