... where several members of this board, and myself, had a great two days of track time at one of the most infamous road courses in the world, Watkins Glen, where we ran the full 3.5 mile circuit.

The weather wasn't the best, rain in the evening, windy, dry and cold during the day, but all of that wasn't noticed once on track.

They where doing improvements to the garages, enlarging the doors, but that was only a minor inconvienience.

Made some new friends, taught/learned some new driving techniqes, shared good company and made it home safely with only minor attrition. Can't wait til next year.

I was busy as an instructor with almost 6 hours a day on track, either in a students car or my own, so I didn't get any pictures. Heck, I didn't even get any decent 'on track' video and I took two cameras, so hopefully some one will post theirs here.

I'm sure it was a blast considering how much fun I had on our little flat bumpy 1.33 mile track over the weekend.

The track was sure wet when we were on it Sunday morning. Of course later in the day it was great just windy.

Dan has some pictures up already... I'll take the liberty of posting the link for him since he's probably buried at work.

Ron, great to have you attend, but that would have been Monday. Yea, you didn't really notice the cold when on track, just when you were standing around.
