Watkins Glen Vintage GP! Who is going???

[JBCOBRA]

WOW! What a great 4 days. Racked up 800 trouble free miles on mine, but my buddy Kenny blew the motor on his again!
It was really nice to see so many friends and make new ones, like the SPF guys from Ohio. Don Morse it was a pleasure meeting you and your bride up at Seneca Lodge, and Thank you again for those tickets.
I was chatting with Mike Stott and Bill Murry and had them sign one of the tickets. Unfortunately, The gt40 got stuffed into a tire wall on the first lap Saturday (
Jim Kellogg, Always a pleasure, and am Really curious to see the footage you are working on.
Watkins Glen is my favorite weekend of the year.

NP on the tickets. They were given to me and we weren't going up Sat. so I passed them on. We also had tickets for Sunday and planned all week to attend but Sun. was a crazy day and, unfortunately, I finally decided at 11:30there was no way possible we could make it.

We had an absolute blast on Fri. on the Knapp Vineyards rally. The route Doug selected for the morning run was absolutely fantastic with all the curves, etc. I keep telling people you don't have to go fast to have fun. Just go into one of the many corners Doug picked out between 35 and 40 and come out of them at 75 - 80. A total thrill.

If anyone has a chance to sign up for this rally next year I would highly recommend it. Aside from a car full of bugs there are no negatives.

I was in my Beck 550 spyder replica for the Founders Tour event on Friday and had a blast. Got into the track thursday early to camp as pit "over crew" members which also got us into the drivers/crew party sat night. A lot of fun!

Friday in town is the bomb. I'm planning on taking the gt40 up there next year...

I was able to run the Glenora, and a couple laps of the old course. Always great fun, running the Cobra down the middle of Watkins Glen on the old course, with spectators lining both sides of the road. I was running about 5,000rpm in first, making lots of noise, and could still hear the crowd cheering :-)

Didn't stay all day, but was able to take some video of JB, Kenny and others as they went by just below Stone Bridge.

I also got a good photo of Kenny going by. If he wants a copy, let me know.

You can't see it in the YouTube video, but Kenny was smoking from the LH side pipe when he went by. Sounds like that might have been the beginning of something bad...

Sorry I couldn't get downtown for the festival. Wanted to catch up with/meet some of you guys. I headed home early to spend the rest of the day with the wife. We had a good evening together!

JB - I went up to the track Sunday around noon. You were headed the other way! Sorry I missed you.
