Some pics from The Glen
10:43 AM on Jul 12, 2007

A few pics from my last minute trip to Watkins Glen this last weekend.

I have always loved racing this track, and took the opportunity to walk around the entire facility, including The Boot which was being utilized.

The elevation changes at the track are simply amazing, and the sims certainly don't do it justice.

Enjoy!

I will post more a little later.

tks,

Tim

IRL was the main attraction, but the Historic cars, and also the Indy Pro Lights or whatever they are called also raced.

I think you are correct Tommy, but I did not get to see them.

All pics, believe it or not taken with a little POS Kodak Easy Share C763. It's little, but takes pretty nice photos.

tks,

Tim

Are them cows I see :)

Tell the truth...dont the IPS cars sound aweful? My chevy with headers sounds sounds better than those POS.

Nice pics, I agree, some small cameras do a great job.

Damn, those are some real nice pics, I wish I could've seen those cars and track in real life, not only by a photo :P

Must have been fun :P
