Default 2011 PCA DE Watkins Glen 6/24-26/11

There are still spots available for Potomac DE at the Glen, June 24,25,26 in Blue, White Red and Black, couple available in Green as well. Weather should be great, area is also great for non driving spouses and a good social visit and the Track is part of History of Motorsports in this country, a wonderful track to drive.

This is the one out-of-town track where there is a lot for spouses/ family to do. The lake area is very scenic, there are loads of wineries, you can hike along a waterfall, etc. And if you like ice cream, pretty much every other storefront downtown is an ice cream store

Also, it's berry season while we're up there, so you can find lots of strawberries, raspberries, cherries, etc. for sale at roadside stands.

I just registered online, hopefully there's still room in Green. It would be my first time trailering to an away track. Just watched some videos on youtube, that track looks really FAST.

Does this mean your car's finally running well?

You're going to love it! It is fast and fun. Not overly technical or tough to learn but has a great flow and is exciting to drive. The Glen was my 2nd PCA event and it got me hooked on driving! I can't wait to go back.
