2016 NY Mustangs Season Opener at Watkins Glen
- Thread starter blwn93gt
- Start date
Ok everyone, here it is, the 2016 NY Mustangs Season Opener. This year will be the annual cruise to open the season to Watkins Glen. I know the date says 2015, i cant change it yet to 2016, i dont have the option. I will change it once the new year rolls over.
This years season opener will be a cruise to Watkins Glen International, we will have a central meeting spot at the Fastrac on Rt.5&20 in Geneva, this is the parking lot we have meet at the past couple of years and it has worked out well for us. The meeting time will be 12:30pm, we will leave there on the dot at 1:00pm to cruise down to the Glen. We will have a 2PM track time there.
The Rochester meeting spot will be at the Target overflow lot off Hylan Dr in Henrietta, we will be meeting there at 11:00am and leaving there NO LATER then 11:30am. This will give us time to handle the expressway and toll booths getting into Geneva.
Buffalo people, Syracuse and all Central cars coming out please get ahold of me and we can try and make meeting points for everyone so there is no confusion on where to go.
I will be getting ahold of Watkins Glen soon to set up the date and make sure we are in and also see what i can do since it is National Mustang Day.
For Watking Glen opening weekend, the Thunder Road tour consists of 3 paced laps at "55 MPH", the 3 laps will cost $25.00, the charge is PER car, NOT per person, the track is open till 3 and as long as Thunder ROad is open, you can purchase additional laps.

Will be there. Hopefully put a group together and meet up. Wondering if there is going to be a picnic this year, that was mentioned last year? We also could do original 6 mile Watkins Glen Race course for a cruise afterwards? The Havana Glen State park or The Watkins Glen State Park could be considered for the picnic. There is a Wallyworld in town for last minute items needed for those that would like to consider doing either of these.
Hi Dave. Was there anymore thought given to having a picnic after the laps? We also can go do the "Original Watkins Glen Race Track afterwards, if anyone is interested?
I would like to but it is hard trying to do that, people take extra laps and by the time everyone is done, its after 3, for some of us we have been up and going since 8am, we normally go down to Geneva and have a dinner all together at Dennys, started doing that a couple years ago and its almost like a tradition now, we have fun doing it
when is the $25 payment due and in what form? Day of Glen event or prior? Cash OK on day of event? Never gone before, would like to make this event. Thanks!
PS ... paced laps "at 55mph" in quotes...does that mean if pace car sees the field wants to go faster, we do? Just curious. Sounds like a nice cruise. Hope for nice weather.
