Good luck in the races, Mike, I am jealous! In the last month, I have spent 10 days there!

I hear ya Dave. It's probably my favorite track and I do around 10-12 days there a year.
And the Seneca is just a cool scene!

I went there for the first time for the CR. I have basically done nothing but rave about it to everyone I know (they are probably pretty sick of me saying how fantastic it was). I don't know when I am going back, but I am definitely going back. A must do track.

Driving it for the second time in October; my 3rd DE. Only have time for 2 DEs a year, unfortunately, but the Glen in the fall, and VIR in the spring, will always be my 2 must-do events.

I did my second SCCA race school there in 1968. This was the previous course configuration, no guardrail, no boot, the pits were between today's turn 1 & 2. Ran one of my last club races there in 1974 on the current track. I have 14 DE track days there the last 3 years with 7 more planned for this year. My short list for NE tracks is the Glen, VIR, and Mid-Ohio.

Hey, Mike. How does WG compare to our local tracks?

One of my favorite corners, especially before the Bus Stop.

Good luck, Mike.

Dave, it was great to meet you there, and I couldn't agree more about the Glen. I never thought that I would find a track that I would consider more exciting than Mosport, but I loved the place right from the get go. Unfortunately, my RSA lost an oil line Thursday so my day was done early, but we will be back in October.
