For the second year in a row, we’ve brought video guru Scott Simmons to the International Motor Press Association’s Test Days in the Poconos. A day on the hill is followed by a day lapping Pocono Raceway. Last year we got to muddy things up a bit in the trucks, while this year was dry as a bone on day one. We got some great on road footage and spent far too much time in a big orange Ford. If off road day was a little too dry, Mother Nature made up for it by dropping enough rain to make Noah nervous on track day. Always up for a challenge, our team of Scott, Tom Williams and I made the best of the weather and still took some rather soggy laps and managed to keep it on the pavement. This teaser video gives just a hint of what we have in store for you over the coming weeks!

RUN little cones… Run!
No cones were harmed in the making of this video. Great job Scott!
Would it be safe to assume when they learned Gary was coming they hide them all?
Thanks! No, the cones were damaged due to the rain so Gary didn’t get near them!
Gary F-as a track guy you’d appreciate the lessons Gary G gave us. First up was the Acura TL with AWD and a 6-speed-my first time as a passenger on the track, my first time as a passenger with Gary at the wheel. The Acura was a little too stable for us, so Gary then drove us out in a Kia Soul, where he demonstrated the finer points of understeering.
No cones at Pocono this year, yippee!
Tom, I’m just a glorified tour bus driver. Maybe a little quicker than your average double decker, but still giving a tour!
I love this. Nice work guys!
Thanks MJ.
