Default Newly Formatted Zone 48 HRS @ WGI

PCA Zone One
48 Hours of Watkins Glen
June 15-17, 2012

Zone 1 48 Hours of Watkins Glen, June 15, 16, & 17. 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.


We’re trying some exciting new things this year in our 38th consecutive year of the 48 hours!

We’ve added an extra hour of track time on Friday and Saturday, which means the track will be open until 5:30 PM in order to maximize track time.

We will allow for expanded passing in the Instructor Run Group 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 for those who sign up at the newly rebuilt Glen Club overlooking the esses.

A Zone 1 commemorative hat and patch will be provided to all registrants who attend.

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.

For more information regarding this and other Zone 1 PCA events, please visit http://zone1.pca.org. Registration for the event will open on April 15, 2012. To register for the event, log onto www.clubregistration.net For further information, contact your local track chair or email the registrar: Lou Dauerer at Zone148Hoursreg@gmail.com.

Pricing: Green & Yellow (Sat & Sunday): $275
White & Black (Friday, Saturday and Sunday): $350
Instructors (Friday, Saturday and Sunday): $225

I almost had a heart attack until I realized the dates are for a DE and not the Club Race.

The regions of Zone 1 have voted to allow non Porsches into this year's 48 hours. Drivers must be PCA members.

I used to love going to this event when we lived in Boston. It's a long haul from Atlanta, but I plan on coming up one of these years.
I think it's a bit sad that it's open to non-Porsches, as this was the one event that we could count on having all Porsche. I get that you need to fill the event, so I don't blame organizers or regions. Must be a sign of the times / reflection of the economy...
