4/18/2007 - Watkins Glen has informed us that there are 3' snow drifts around the track, so we are forced to cancel this event. People who applied will be sent a refund.
Once again the Boston Chapter is proud to host a Driving School at Watkins Glen International. The Glen is a large track (3.5 miles) which is known for its elevation changes; there is over a 100 foot difference between the highest and lowest sections of the track. IRL cars raced here since 2005, and the US Grand Prix ran here from 1967 through 1980!
