2016 NY Mustangs Season Opener at Watkins Glen
- Thread starter blwn93gt
- Start date
Hey Dave, should we start a thread for each area coming to this? I'll still coordinate with you and hope each area would do the same. This way if we could post meeting points for each area there would be less confusion for people coming in. Our main meeting point will still be at Fastrac in Geneva for anyone coming in from the I90 headed south into Watkins Glen. For those coming from the south end (I86) they could meet at the track at your given time.
Here is a update for everyone on what is going on, i recieved the Official stickers for the cars today to celebrate national Mustang day, i have 100 of them to be handed out to everyone in attendance, i was aasked to submit pictures for the official website for the day, this is a Rain/Shine event, meeting points are set for Buffalo, Rochester and Geneva.
Buffalo guys and gals will be meeting with the Rochester group on the Thruway at the rest stop/stop and text pullover just before the Victor exit, we will be meeting them there at 11:45, we will be in contact that morning with Tracy to track where everyone is, we will then cruise into Geneva to meet at the central meeting spot. Geneva police department will come down and help getting us out like years past.
For everyone who has done this before, you all know that the Town of Watkins Glen can be tricky to navigate the large group through, so PLEASE read about what we will do.
Once entering the town of Watkins Glen, we will try to keep everyone together but it will not happen, when we go up the hill towards the track, i will park towards the top before the light, once you make it up the hill, pull over and keep in line with everyone, once the last car comes up, the back will pull out to show everyone is there and we will continue as a group to go up to the track, we will be using Gate 3 this year, instructed by the Glen.
After the laps are completed, everyone is to meet at the garages, once we get everyone together, we will take some group shots there and then move down to the media center where we will all go out in victory lane for 1 last group shot together in Gatorade ally, Thunder Road closes at 3pm, if we are allowed by the track, we are going to TRY and let people down on the start/finish line for individual photos of themselves with there cars, this is all contingent on track officials.
I ask if anyone has any questions, PLEASE PM me or contact me, lets make this the biggest to date, our biggest turn out for Opening Weekend is 87 cars, can we beat it this year????

I live a couple of hills over from Watkins Glen , I can tell you that before the recent snow the roads were pretty clean. They are somewhat white with salt residue now, but rain is in the forecast tonight and tomorrow. Im confident we will get a road rinse and be good to go Sunday with perfect weather.
