Ok, need a bit of advice. My schedule for the 2 weeks of June:
- 11, 12 Mosport (Sat, Sun)
- 18, 19 The Glen (Sat, Sun)
- 23 Mosport (Thurs)
That is 5 days in less than 2 weeks, and my first time at The Glen. Wife is coming, she normally doesn't. There is also a CVR event at The Glen on 20, 21 (Mon, Tues), that some Toronto guys are attending.
Wife says we should stay the extra 2 days and make it a 4-day trip, but I'm concerned about me, the car, and maybe the wife (and me) getting bored after 4 days at Watkins Glen.
Not sure what to expect so, any thoughts?
Thanks,
Francois

One day I'm going to have to try this track. The problem is it's too far to drive a 993 with moton susp/cup box.
Calabogie is a hour, OK. Tremblant is 2 plus hours........ getting long and The Glen is 6........ no way
The nice/bad thing about Rennlist is there are options. On this page I read that not 1 but 2 Trailex trailers will be for sale in less than a year,
and both are close to me. Francois and Rob, please keep me in mind when the next bigger/better trailer comes your way
Cheers,
Geoff

Wow, an offer for a trailer from Chris for the Glen and an offer from Rob for his trailex next year, and Rob even knows I'm a low baller 
OK Chris, this is the 1000th time you have asked me to go to the Glen, just asked the real Boss and she said "have fun @ The Glen 2011". I'll sign up now.
I'm in. My Dad use to go to the Glen before there was a track to race on. They would close down the town and race on the streets.
I have some old pics when they were there. This will be an emotional event for me as Dad is gone.
Beer is on me for the boys from Ottawa the first night, and one dude from Toronto, he owns a good'ol Ottawa car... Francois
Cheers,
Geoff
