Watkins Glen Thunder Tours - 6/23 @ 11:30 AM



Where: Watkins Glen International Speedway (Watkins Glen, NY)

What: 3 pace laps on the track

When: Saturday (6/23) at 11:30 AM

Why: Because Northeast doesn't do enough G2G

How much: $25 for 3 laps

Other details:
We should be there by 11:30 AM for the run at noon. They have another run at 5 PM (be ready at 4:30 PM).

Here's a link to the Watkins Glen Thunders tour website.

Here's a video my housemate (Saijin_Naib) recorded from his 300CE:

There is a pace car, and the "speed limit" is 55 MPH. However, I did manage to reach 120 MPH safely on the straight with my CLS 63. There's a pause after the second lap for cooldown, and you will have the opportunity to switch drivers.

If you do go, keep your distance. Don't pass anyone unless they wave you on. Let's just have fun.

Afterwards, we can meet up at a restaurant or at the state park, and socialize there.

Seeing as I have the slowest car known to man, I will be in the back filming, as I was in the video above.

All are welcome! It is a great time, and well worth the money.
