Watkins Glen Vintage Grand Prix

[Dave Richards]

Is anyone planning on going to the Vintage Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, September 8 – 10? We go just about every year, it’s quite a party that dominates the whole town, just like the old days. (Man, I’m feeling old!)

I also entered the Healey in a 100-mile Roadster Tour that includes two parade laps on the original Watkins Glen Grand Prix road course.

The races, etc. are on the weekend (9 & 10) at the track, thanks Banjo, for the clarification, I'll look for you there. Dave

I'll be there Dave.
Been there every year for something like twenty years now.
Six hour trip from here on Long Island and I would miss it for anything.
Wont have the Healey though. I drive up with my brothers in a motor home and stay at the track. I'll be looking for you car.

September 8 only!!! In reviewing the literature, it appears that the festival is for only one day this year, not the weekend as in years past.

Sure, thats what they do every year.
The main street in town is closed for Friday night when the re-enactment of the original race takes place. Great sounds, great cars, and then some good bar hopping /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
At the track: qualifying on Friday and (I think) Saturday morning, and then racing on Sat. and Sun.
