Default WGI 2019 schedule

Earlier this year, someone posted the whole track schedule, for the whole year, for all groups at the Glen. I did some searching and can't seem to find a site with the info.....too early??? Trying to begin making plans for next season...with everyone's schedule, getting more and more crazy, work, kids, etc..........trying to see if we can set some dates, well in advance.......

Can anyone help? Thankx, in advance, for your help.

They usually put it out in March and update it in May--mine is dated 5/17/18. Go to theglen.com and click on "Information", then on "Facility Rentals".

Phoenix CMR just posted their date for next year, so it would seem that the schedule is set anyway.

Many of the club dates at places like WGI are at the same time each year. When I vacation plan I shoot to get those weeks off for the following year.
You can also try writing to various groups that have events there and see if they will tell you their tentative dates for 2019.

I know it’s Watkins Glen season when I see Madison’s beautiful smile at the front gate.
Looks at the dates from this past seasons PCA regions and next years should be somewhat similar.
This past season I did 26 days at WGI and almost all the dates were planned ahead of time looking at the previous seasons schedule. All except for 2 of those days (with Chin) were with Various PCA regions. Looks at the dates for Niagara, NER, Metro, NNJR, RTR, etc from this past season and you will have a pretty good idea of what next seasons dates will be.
See ya there....

Wow, @dgrobs, 26 days at the Glen this season--you're my hero! Hope to drive with you there next season. Really enjoyed our few days at NJMP this season.

I have always found the Glen schedule on its website but not sure when it finalizes.

Yeah, we’ll see each other for sure at The Glen. Doubt I’ll get 26 days there again, but I’ll def get my share.
Funny thing about those couple days at NJMP. When we saw you dovening in the Generals store, my daughter asked me if you were praying for better lap times. No, I’m not kidding.

That's very funny. Safe day maybe; lap times, no. :-)

Audi Club NEQ Chapter...at WGI June 3-4 and Aug 26-27 next year. Both are Monday-Tuesday events and typically are very popular. Always happy to have more students and high quality instructors.

What about just regular none instructed drivers like me (who also aren't quite at the instructor level yet?) Can I do one of your events?

Hi Guys
thank you for the tips- I've been doing this long enough to have a "general idea" of when the events are going to be scheduled- trouble is, need the actual dates so people can plan, well in advance, especially the newbies......and it looks like I will be able to convince a few newbies to schedule time off so they can look into the abyss....once you go Glen......we'll enough said.

Thank you for the Cups N' Saucers 2019 dates....

looking for Niagara (open track) in early June- the one where you've had to sign up at midnight on New Years eve 'cuz it filled up in 16 hours

all RSR Tremblant dates

Trackmasters and

HoD events at the Glen-

I can sprinkle in a few Palmer/LRP days....they are easy.....and the group may not want to go to these tracks

I just emailed Bill for the Trackmasters dates--if he replies I'll pass them along.

HoD/WGI: April 15-16 and Oct 18-20.
