Watkins Glen

[MGlad]

Rick, weather looks rain for sure on Saturday and slight chance on Sunday. I'll be driving up just for the day on Sunday and get there early, around 9. I guess tickets will be at the main gate, but will I be able to get into the paddock area with the Cobra? Also, I imagine shorts will be OK and there won't be a helmet requirement for the parade laps.

Paddock is open at the vintage races, only hot pits need credentials. No helmets required for parade laps.

Today is Beautiful at WG.
What a Blast

Hey JB, it was a pleasure meeting you today. I remember seeing you at SAAC-37, you were busy helping a fellow Club Cobra member with a dead MSD. Good times today too, huh! A few sprinkles at the most. It was cool taking the Cobra out on the track for a few parade laps. I was surprised, the pace car took off every now and then so you could lean on it a bit. I'll post a couple pics in my gallery.

Help! I on the Gallery Image Upload page and I can't find the browser button to select to pictures I want to upload... hmmmmmm.

Hi, Mike. It looked like everyone had a good time out on the track!

I have a couple of photos of the SPF laps that I took from turn 11. Right now they are only posted on my FB page - you should be able to view them of you look for my profile on FB.

I will try to post them here tomorrow if I get a chance.
Happy to see you could make it!

I'll check them out. I posted a photoalbum with 15 pictures on my gallery. It's public so everyone can see them.

Hey Rick, nice pictures! I got a bunch of pictures from out on the track, I'll send them to you. I still can't find the "browse" button on the upload photos page to post them on my gallery here.

[Jim Kellogg]

Here you go, Mike!
There are some more photos in my SPF WGI album here on Club Cobra, and you can also view and save them in a larger format.
Just a spectator this year. Hopefully I will be back with old #887 next year!

Here you go, JB!

Don't look now, but you have Dennis Olthoff and family in their Mini coming up on you :-)

I followed Dennis around driving a GT350 clone and I had a hard time keeping up in the corners. I told him after "wow, you were motoring through the corners!" and he replied (proper South African accent) "Naw, just touring with the kids"

Thanks Jim! Cool pictures. I didn't get to hook up with you on Sunday.

Hi, Mike
I had the grandkids (3 year old twins) with me on Sunday, so I was pretty busy with them. They have racing in their blood from both sides of the family - should be interesting in a couple of years :-)

I saw your car parked in Olthoff's pit at the Time Machines display. Nice!!! I like the green. My son took a couple of nice shots of your car and the others while they were parked. If you want copies, let me know and I will post them here for you.

Maybe next year!

A big thank you to Jim for his help in arranging the laps. He had to boogie to the track after his pastor duties on Sunday.

I was happy to give his son a ride in the GT350 clone.

I'd love to see the pictures. Looking forward to catch up with you in the future!

I 2nd that, thanks Jim! It sure was fun to take the Cobra out for a few laps.

[JBCOBRA]

Great to see you Jim and everyone, and Thank you for taking care of all of us!

Errol W. and his ever present smile!
I just posted a bunch more SPF photos from Watkins Glen 2012 SVRA in my album. You might even find a photo of Mark IV in there if you look :-)
