Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival/US Vintage Grand Prix Weekend

September in Watkins Glen, my favorite time of year. Once again the crew gathered for our yearly brush with racing history. We were very fortunate with the weather, in that it always rained where we were not. You can’t argue with that. It was a weekend to enjoy the sights and sounds of race cars, delicious food and beer, and the camaraderie of good friends. The following are a few photos from the International Motor Racing Research Center, the downtown street party known as the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival, SVRA’s US Vintage Grand Prix/Speedtour, and the Seneca Lodge Bar and Restaurant. Enjoy, we did! TJ….2023
