Calling all CruzeTalk folks to the fourth annual Watkins Glen Opening Day Meet! This year opening day at The Glen is April 16, 2016
I spoke with Rob at Watkins Glen and reserved a track time for our group
Cost: $25/car for 3 paced laps of the Watkins Glen racetrack.
Place: Watkins Glen, NY Opening Weekend - Watkins Glen International
Date: April 16, 2016 (it's a Saturday)
Time: Time on track: 12:30 PM (tentative). We need to be there 45 minutes ahead of time to pay and stage. So we'll roll out of Watkins Glen town and zip up the hill at about 11:15 AM to arrive at the racetrack at 11:45 AM. If you get separated, say you're with the CruzeTalk.com group going onto the track at 12:30 PM. Or look for the group of Cruzes.
Rob from Watkins Glen had the following reminders: 55 mph speed limit, stay single file, no passing, and no other horseplay. Failure to obey will mean the rule-breaker gets kicked off the property, no questions asked.
More information:
Activities: Lapping the track, pictures, getting dinner at Jerlando's, the best pizzeria in the Finger Lakes (there isn't much inside seating), or parking at Lakeside Park. There are first-come-first-served pavilions there. The outdoor activities will be as weather permits. Light jackets are recommended, as it is late April in upstate NY! Depending on the weather, there is a Dunkin Donuts, a Wal-Mart and a P&C grocery store in town if the weather is bad. This will be a "closed-hood" and "no car work" meet. No time/space to do any car work.
If you don't want to do the racetrack but still want to meet, you're more than welcome to join us! Just let us know.
Meeting place in Watkins Glen: The Wal-Mart in town. The address is: 515 E 4th St, Watkins Glen, NY. It's very easy to find.
Meeting time: 11 AM.
Past years were a blast! Those of us who went had a great time.
We need 10 cars to register for our own slot. Last year our group was less than 10 so we were put with a group of Z28 & ZL1 Camaros, nice cars, but I won't comment on the drivers. Who's interested? Looks we have enough confirmations for a guaranteed slot!!! We still are open to more members / non members.
List of folks confirmed so far:
blk88verde (probably my GTO)
blk88verde's daughter (Mini Cooper)
Tomko
Oilburner + son (WRX)
Jvegas04
Kman220
anthonysmith93 + friend
blkverde's son (BMW AH3)
Tim (Volvo S70R)
