My vote is for Crazy Canuck's new avatar.......
The Glen although VIR is a tough second place.
The advantage for the race at The Glen is that it's over Memorial Day weekend, with Memorial Day being a travel day.
VR, I though Elmira airport was the closest to The Glen?

Actually, on the map it looks as if they are equidistant....

Another plus for VIR is if something happens to your car, parts or supports are closer at hand. Raleigh/Durham, Greensboro both pretty close, but even better Synergy Racing's shop is at the track.
But as others have said, do both!
Like VR's pic few post back. Yummy!

Not armco, it's 'Blue Bushes'.. and as far as I can tell, they are not on the racing surface.

No other track out here flows like the Glen, though VIR is quite good. Personally I would bag the rest of the season just to be able to do both.

The Glen and it's not even close... Fly into Elmira. Town is great, track is epic, event is bigger than VIR, event is MUCH cooler temperature wise than VIR and it's Memorial Day weekend.
