Watkins Glen Vintage Weekend
Created on 2008-09-07 13:22:28
I went to the Watkins Glen Grand Prix festival vintage weekend September 5 and had a blast. The whole town is rocking with race cars, sports cars and car folks and everyone is driving their cars and having a great time. We were in the Glenkhana and had a lot of fun, although we didn't win, we did have one of the better times- in the top five as far as I know. The two laps of the old road course were fun and my brother in law Dan was my navigator and with a big grin told me in the middle of our first lap "It doesn't get any better than this." and indeed it does not. I will try to post some video I took later. The whole town is closed off and the streets are full of classic cars, race cars and people. If you haven't been there - I suggest you go its worth it!
