cool..it is just outside the town of watkins glen...on the very south end of lake seneca....they allow camping...if you guys are coming i can bring one of the monster tents and heat....

gotcha...we race on saturday late, but no where near as late as lime rock..the sprint races will be in the morning w/o qualifying or practice...

no, instructors are typically racers earning worker points..its not like nasa...we have to work one day for our points to count...its a 1/3 of a day for each time we instruct..easier than flagging for a whole day...i finished my requirements at lime rock on friday and paid to run it for practice (racers cannot earn points in the tt)

So Gary, what kind of course is this? Chris and I are considering going, maybe even running since I Just got my focus fixed. *EEK*

I have pics to post from LRP. I will get those up soon. Sorry for that sad shot.

Actually I am asking you this question on FMS too.

Thanks
Heather

the glen is huge compared to slime rock...over 3 miles long...next to vir full, the fastest track we will race on this year..nice garage padock...real pretty place, overlooking the largest of the finger lakes...and i might have another 8 horsepower by the time i get there...ray at mcnews is going to reflash the car...

SCT Flash? you should dyno tune squirt gary, also maybe get an adjustable cam gear for the exhaust to pick up a couple horses... is that allowed?

it is allowed and i have it...we are allowed flash, orp, udp and cam gear...ray has found some extra power in a car similar to mine and is doing me a major favor by trying to coax a few more horsepower out of squirt...
