[BIG TRACK EVENT] Watkins Glen May 20/21
If you want to drive with me I'll be leaving from NYC on Sun PM and meet the guys for dinner. I'll be driving with 7 other cars (2 S2K, 2 Vipers, 3 Corvettes) The trip is about 3 hours. The hotels are very cheap and you can bring your wife since there is wine tasting, hiking, antique shopping. Don't forget the drive on the historic Watkins Glen. This is the best track in NE since it is 3.5 miles long also the verts can go on the track plus you can have a passenger when you are OK'ed. If you had to go to one event, this one would be it.
Please go to the site mentioned bellow for more info or contact Todd. if you want to drive up with me let me know.
TracQuest's next East Coast DE event will be at Watkins Glen on Monday-Tuesday, May 20-21. As with all East Coast events, TracQuest will be putting on the Watkins Glen event in conjunction with Rennlist, the best auto enthusiast site on the Internet. You will find an event write-up and entry form in Word format attached. If you have any problem opening these documents, they're also up on the TracQuest web site at www.tracquest.com
All types of cars attend TracQuest events. Porsches, Ferraris, BMW's, Audis, Corvettes, Vipers, RX-7's, Miatas, NSX's, Hondas, Nissans, Jaguars, Subarus - all are welcome. No special safety equipment other than a helmet is required, and any auto racing or motorcycle helmet (with the exception of Harley-type half-helmets) will do. Convertibles do not need roll bars. Further, non-participant passengers (friends, spouses,
etc.) are allowed, although novice students must be approved by an instructor to go out alone and/or take passengers.
Those who were at the TracQuest/Rennlist Watkins Glen event last year or the TracQuest/Rennlist/ABC Road Atlanta event in January know that these events are very special. After safety, the focus is on tons of high quality, low traffic track time with awesome instruction. Since TracQuest pulls the best instructors from many different clubs like PCA, BMWCCA, QCUSA, SCCA etc, TracQuest has one of the best instructor groups you'll find anywhere. TracQuest's passing rules, which vary in each of TracQuest's three run groups, are more liberal than the passing rules at many club events, providing for better traffic flow with less congestion. Because TracQuest limits the size of these events, they may cost a bit more than some clubs' events, but everyone finds that the more intimate environment, with a lot more track time (sometimes as much as 6 to 8 hours over the course of a two day event!), progressive passing rules and great instruction is more than worth any extra cost. Additionally, TracQuest always provides gourmet food at the track, so no one needs to bring his/her own provisions.
If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to ask. If you would like to sign up, just fax or mail your entry form with appropriate payment. Please note that there will be a great banquet at the Glen Club on Monday, May 20, for which tickets are sold at TracQuest/Rennlist's cost. While this banquet is optional, it is anticipated that most of the participants and instructors will attend, so we hope that you will join us too.
We look forward to seeing you at the track!

More info
Unlike most car club events, which are competitive and require 5 point harnesses, fire extinguishers and often roll bars, this is a non competitive event, so you don
