Default Watkins Glen Was Great!

We just got back from the Track Time school at Watkins Glen and it was excellent. Very professionally run and the S2000's did extremely well! Our car was built for a road course.

For those who have never done a track day (two days for this school), the adrenaline pumping through your veins all day combined with the mental focus required to keep your butt out of the grave, is extremely tiring. But, like most drugs, you always want to go back for more. I highly recommend it!!!

When you get a chance, ask Tim about the black 911 he blew away!

We were rubbing elbows (in the garage, of course), with some very high-end cars, like 360 Modena's, Carrera Turbos, 600HP Vettes, etc.

What a blast!



As Glenn would say:

Makes me do this --------------->

Time to get some sleep...

John,
Sounds like you guys had an awesome time!!.......when can we all get together for the debriefing?

By the way, I am sure you two are exhausted, but, just in case, there is an event tomorrow in RI and we are planning to meet at 10:00 at that same restaurant in Hopkinton off exit 21 on 495 that we met Tuan at for the drive down to the Cape.

That is what I said all along! Now you guys will understand why I sold my stock 2001 yellow for a 2000 white with custom rollbar so I can gain access to road course events!
