Pics of me at Watkins Glen Race Track

Went to a track event this weekend! What a rush!! Everyone should go to one. The was at the Watkins Glen Race Track in NY. Words can't explain how awesome it is to push your car to the limits on a straight 105mph, brake hard, down shift, into the "bus stop", and out into a sweeping downhill right and a sharp downhill left. Tires squeeling, brakes smell in the air. It's so awesome.

Very nice. Haven't been there in 20 years. Never raced there. But I went to some races. My brother lives pretty close and keeps telling me to come up.
Nice track. Glad you had fun.

Glad to see you had a great time and hope you'll be coming back as a spectator for the Vintage Races in September along with some other MINI2 members.

Snip..


My 911 RS America


It's a whole lot more fun when you approach at 150 mph down the back straight before turning into the bus stop.
The Glens is a HP track.

Mini's are more fun at Lime Rock Park or other short tracks.
