Just went to the opening day at the track at Watkins Glen with my FTW NY chapter. $20 and you get to do 3 laps on the track. Thought you guys might enjoy some pics, and I shot a vid too.







more pics here from the last 4 years

Well they use pace cars, or should I say pace toyota tundras. Toyota is apparently a big sponsor. So were not supposed to exceed 55, but I'm not as quick in the corners so I have to make it up in the straights lol
I havent hit 90 yet, 85 and change this year, 84 last year and 87 the year before. Gotta slow down so you dont rear end anyone you know?

Well rear end and running over is 2 different stories I think running over the camero would be funny but maybe not to the insurance company

lol yeah I don't think the owner would have been too happy about me running him over. Its an anniversary edition too.

Joe, where have you been? would have been nice to have you there. It was a light turnout this year. Phil couldn't make it.

Denny, why don't you just light up the afterburners and shoot on over here next year lol. or there ought to be a track near you. cruise out there while they're racing nascar and do some laps. Best part is you don't even have to draft to pass! you can just go right over

Hi Jason. Looks like you all had a lot of fun. I'd like to try that some day. Not in my truck, mind you, but an actual race car. I think it would be a blast either way.
