Bucket list

[Doug Vanderhaar]

Looking for information on Track days at Watkins Glen.
I can`t find anything on events at the Glen.

I have raced and completed 28 CASC Race Weekend Events between 1999 and 2006. First years in a 1989 Players Camaro #75 and the last years in a 1996 Motorola Cup SS Camaro #75.

I have had an itch to run at the Glen for some time and now its in the Bucket List. I did 6 laps with the pickup truck a few years back during the lunch break

Any help would be appreciated.

I would be driving a Street 2002 Z06 so a club event would suit best.
I have had the Z06 at mosport for one Dexter day and also at the Canadian Motor Sport Hall of Fame day.
Note the Z06 on street tires was consitantly faster then the professionaly race prepared Camaro's 1;37

The track rental schedule is available here: http://www.theglen.com/Car-Club-Corr...ub-Corral.aspx

I'll pm you the pdf if I can. Contact info for The Glen is at the same address. Hope that helps, good luck!
On edit, can't email the pdf, so here it is.

Thanks for the info, I am signed up for the July 14-15th event.

[Cdnstunts]

Here's one of the in car cam videos, I raced in the SCCA National, American Sedan class at the Glen.
This will give you some insight of the full track.

The little 305 inch started to give me some trouble a couple laps into the start of the race. Buzzing around 7300 RPM didn't help..... Cracked a head, bent a few valves............

Thanks Rob for the video.
I watched a few video's on Track Masters Site and all I see is ARMCO barrier waiting for me to make a mistake
There is one vid of newer full size Jag that make's an early pitch for the turn in just to slide through the corner and roll into the barrier. Video is from track side and from the inside watching the driver and instructer.

I hope I can keep rubber on the track

Doug,

You can handle WG road course, it's a fast track......

Have fun....

[Steve Moore]

My Favourite track, you need lots of HP and Great Brakes!!!!!!!
