I am, and I just got back from there yesterday. Great track, and great trip up there (more beautiful than the trip to Mid-Ohio even). I will be posting my video from there along with a Dorki special write up.

Todd, what were you there for?

I'm going. Can't pass up three days at the Glen. I'm going next week as well.

I went up to visit one of my clients, and stayed for the ARPCA two day DE event. Great people, good chance to learn the track. I had a good instructor who taught me a few things that are counter-intuitive, particularly with respect to braking. I will give you guys a full run down when the video is ready (although it doesn't appear that the sound came through . . . bummer).

I am also going up again the weekend before Potomac's event for three more days. Hopefully that means I will not be a rolling chicane for our blue group dorkis

Gary and I will be there with the yellow monster. It won't have the new motor but it will look awfully intimidating with the new bodywork.

We're coming from the parade so will be ready to drive after "looking" at cars all week. 8)

What's up with the new motor I thought that was to be done for One Lap

After hearing such questions for the last two years and two months, I just had to ask one of my own

Just got back from my second event at Watkins Glen. Boy was it hot. 90-92 degrees. Bring your mosquito spray. I have honestly never seen so many mosquitos in my life, not so much at the track but more at Seneca Lodge.

The track is in great shape, and it seemed super grippy (last time I was there it was rainy).

All of you who have never been are in for a real treat! Watkins is one of my favorites (of course, I end up saying that about every track right after I return ).

Sweet. I'm going up Thursday night. Still haven't made hotel arrangments. Any suggestions for a decent place to stay?
