Went to Watkins Glen Yesterday

It was a beautiful day for a ride here in upstate NY. We started crossing over to the East side of Seneca Lake and then South down to Watkins Glen for a hike through the glen and then a few laps around THE GLEN. We all had a great time. The car ran great. For anyone that hasn't had the chance to take their car on one off these road course tracks, it's an awesome experience. The pace car does about 60 but by holding back a little you can really push it around and have some fun. I hit 80 a few times but the dips and curves are what really makes it fun. It's the best $25 you can spend.

Very pretty countryside Mike! Thanks for the pics. BTW the girls don't really appear to be enjoying the 'no electronics' ride.

Love that area, used to live in Corning. Wish I had taken my car around the track there, now on my bucket list!
