Default 2016 Zone 1 48 Hours at WGI - May 20-22.

PCA Zone One 48 Hours of Watkins Glen Drivers Education May 20, 21 & 22, 2016

The Zone 1 48 Hours at Watkins Glen began in 1974. Continue the tradition and join us for the 42nd consecutive year on May 20-22, 2016. Watkins Glen International is the continuation of a road racing tradition dating back to 1948, when sports cars raced on the 6.6 mile course through the village of Watkins Glen. The permanent road course was built in 1956 and has remained the home of a great racing tradition for 55 years. Come and drive the newly paved course.

We plan to maximize track time by adding an extra hour of track time on Friday and Saturday; track will be hot until 5:30 pm.

We will allow for expanded passing in the Instructor Run Groups throughout the weekend.

PCA National Instructor Training will occur on Friday for those who qualify with a referral from their
region’s chief instructor.

Friday is still instructor day, however all drivers in the white (intermediate), black and red run groups will be accepted to drive on Friday. The intermediate group will be given four driving sessions on Friday.

The Zone will host a Saturday evening cocktail hour and dinner.

A form of Zone 1 swag will be provided to all registrants who attend.

Peter Argetsinger will be available for this year’s event. He will give a talk to the advanced drivers on Friday and be available for coaching the rest of the weekend. Arrangements for coaching sessions must be made with Peter directly at the time of the event.

Don’t miss the Friday evening track walk available to all registrants. Saturday and Sunday will be run in the traditional DE format with the track open until 5:30 PM on Saturday.

We will also allow for early trailer drop off beginning Thursday evening from 6-8PM. There will also be camping at the track from Thursday through Saturday for those who are interested.

Bump:
We have room in all run groups except green.

As far as I can tell, it's the first weekend PCA DE on the newly paved track.

I did that event for a number of years. It was always a great time and pulls Rennlisters to it from many regions. One of the things I really enjoyed was the wide array of p-cars. Pretty cool.

And love the avatar Lou!

Another bump. Their is still a little time to sign up for all groups except Green. This is going to be a lot of fun with the new asphalt, Pete Argetsinger doing a classroom Friday and available for coaching all weekend, lots of track time, and hopefully great weather.

I hope to see lots of folks there.

Bump. I'll be accepting registrations for non-instructed drivers through the weekend.

Contact him at the track. He is handling the scheduling of the coaching sessions himself.
