This is Phil from Canandaigua. I also drive Limo's out of Geneva. Meeting at Mac's is great. ( I also used to live in Waterloo.) If there's any help I can be let me know. I know all the wine trails and would love to help. Maybe we can also get everyone over to Rt.254 between Branchport and Hammondsport. Lots of curves, not too fast and right along the shore. Fun road. Let me know. Looking forward to the rally.

BUMP!! Should be a good time this year!

i was reading about the Watkins Glen run --- it says "3 paced laps". what is 'paced'?? is there a pace car in front of us keeping us at a certain speed? please confirm? thanks! barb

 

[SCREMNGT]

Exacctly, they run a pace car in front of the group. Now they "say" that they keep it at 55MPH, but what really happens is they will speed it up if the group is being good, if not they slow it down to 55,
It is a lot of fun and you get a new view of the track.

Worth doing if you never have before!

i guess i had the assumption that we could drive any speed, without being reckless, of course. hmm.

Thanks for the info Bill..guess we will have to be good.

The course is also different then what you see the Sprint Cup guys run on TV. The Front Stretch is a rush!

 

[AdirondackFox08]

Do we go through the whole course?

Last time I did it you got to run the whole course.

Being GOOD does not mean you can't be fast!!!!!
It's when a few start to lose it in the corners thats when they slow it down.
You'll have a blast

wish I could make it, Friday the 5th I am going to be at St Gaberails(Elma, ny). Then on the 6th I will be at the Cruise for A.L.L.

 

[GTNT83]

No they let you g a little fast but because they have had people who over do it then they had to "pace it ' for liability reasons.

Sounds like a lot of fun! How fast would you say it gets difficult to negotiate the corners?
