Default Watkins Glen DE October 15 & 16 - still accepting drivers!

This October the Niagara Region PCA will be combining their annual Fall Tour with a Driver Education event at Watkins Glen.

The Fall Tour:

Saturday, October 13 - Chili Run. A drive from Rochester, NY to Letchworth State Park (the Grand Canyon of the East) to enjoy some incredible fall foliage scenery. Then back to Rochester for a casual Chili lunch.

Sunday, October 14 - Breakfast Run & Wine Tour. From Rochester, a trip down Seneca Lake stopping at several wineries along the way. Ending at Watkins Glen.


For more information on the Fall Tour http://niagarapca.com/PCalendar/docs...ourWeekend.pdf



Driver Education at Watkins Glen:


Monday & Tuesday, October 15 & 16. There are still spots available for both drivers and instructors. Registration fee includes two days on track plus a free souvenir shirt or hat, and a Garage Party on Monday evening with free food and open bar. Instructors drive free.

For more information on the Driver Education

Hope to see some 'Listers there!

Maybe next year Doug, and an early congrats on the new family member! Creating your own pit crew?




And now for the proverbial BUMP for the weekend crowd.
  • Newbies are especially welcome!
  • No experience necessary!
  • You don't even have to be a PCA member!
  • Hell, we don't even require you to drive a Porsche...any track-worthy car will do!
  • As long as your car passes a very basic safety tech inspection http://niagarapca.com/driversed.html , you're in!

They are calling for warmer than normal temps in October! Keeping fingers crossed.

Not me, but for some reason, I did get the email saying I was accepted! Might be my father though.

Hmmm, I just checked the list again, and it's definitely your information. Do me a favor and see if your Dad has signed up. Maybe our program got confused with the two same names and input your data instead of his.

You guys will have a great time for sure. That is still one of my favorite tracks in the Northeast. Anyway, I hope some of you get some great in-car camera footage too!

Video cam will be running.



Last chance to register! We will be cutting it off soon to make run groups and instructor/student assignments. It is a sin to put a car away for the winter with tire and brake pad left, so come burn them up at WGI!

INSTRUCTORS DRIVE FREE!!! We could use a few more. Plus everyone gets a FREE ball cap and FREE Garage Party on Monday evening with FREE food and FREE open bar!

(Geez I feel like that guy on the commercial......"FREE FREE FREE, IT'S FREEZY NOT SLEAZY!!!")
