For those of you that don't know heres a link http://www.theglen.com/Tickets-Events/Events/2012/Opening-Weekend.aspx
It is 3 laps around the track for $25 it's not intended to be a "race" they say 55mph max i will just tell ya i got it up to 3 digits
This is more of a family event so bring the brats and they will never forget this!!!:rock:

If you are interested in going we will all run together in our own group:awesomework:
i will get a time as soon as i see enough cars want to go!
If it rains it will still be open but not many people will attend!

Re: Watkins Glenn opening day!!!!!!!!!!!

So will they kick you off the track if you drive too fast because 55 is a tease. And is there a group going from rochester?

Re: Watkins Glenn opening day!!!!!!!!!!!

I did this last year except it was in August during the Finger Lakes Rally, definitely worth the 25 bucks. If you guys can't make this maybe you can make the one this August, and the car show the next day. :)

So how well is the 55mph rule enforced>
Click to expand...
we go as a group behind a pace car if your in the back you will go well over 55mph
just remember this is a family oriented track day :awesomework:
You should not drive recklessly this is not a race day! but it's close
and they have a state trooper there to keep the peace

Cledus, I want to give this a try this year and since we're from Syracuse I'll meet up with you on the way down? And which day would we go Sat. or Sun. ??

Re: Watkins Glenn opening day!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a bunch of guys that tried this from the WNY Area a few years ago and want to go back. I will run it by them and see who wants to go. If there is representation across the state, this could turn into a NY Mustang Spring Rally.

Count me in Cledus!

Also, just to touch on the 55 mph rule. They do try to enforce it pretty well, and if you are caught screwing around they will kick you out. I found it best if you keep up with the pace car you will have a competitive lap. The only reason they slow down is to catch the people who hang back.

Sorry for my rant guys, but I use to work with the track and saw people get kicked off and woudn't want that to happen to my fellow nystangers!
