That's awesome.... Great track and close to home. For anyone that's never been there it's worth a few extra days to explore some of the amazing scenic waterfalls and winery's along the lake.

And don't forget the Glass museum in Corning!! It's about 20mi away. I worked for Owens Illinois in Oakland California and was able get in free with a few friends and the place was amazing. Went around 2005 or so when I went back for the first Vintage Trans Am races there and Lime Rock.

Can I sign up now?   :)

I'll start getting ready now but when Horseheads is actually on the map as if it is a real place, it tells you a lot to know about the area.

 :o  ;D Its actually a nice little town.

Can we torch a bus (or poorly done clone) in the Bog? It might be as much fun as the fireworks at SAAC 5.

"It is 2 a.m. Saturday morning and the hard-core 'Boggers' are warming up for the weekend's festivities. Two burly, bearded men stand in a smoldering fire of upturned garbage cans and old tires, long knives strapped to their thighs, drinking beer. Behind them lies the burnt-out hulk of the weekend's first sacrifice, an old sedan of indefinable lineage. Rising out into the bright night sky, thick acrid bellows of smoke reach for the high-scudding clouds. A spectral group of dancers passes by, cavorting to the raucous notes of a kazoo. Men and women are madly intertwined in their grimy jeans, holding out bottles of wine to balance their steps. Like shadows stretched across a brick wall, these forms stumble onward -- players possessed by the harkening strains of Death in a Medieval Dance."
At that race, a bunch of Brazilian race fans chartered a Greyhound bus out of New York City to go to Watkins Glen to cheer on countryman Emerson Fittipaldi, the two-time Formula One world champion.
When the fans went to their seats, the chartered Greyhound was left unattended. Bad move.
Drunken revelers stole the bus, took it to The Bog, stoned it and burned it to the ground, along with at least a dozen other vehicles in a ritual orgy of destruction.

Sounds like fun, huh?

Alas, the ritual burning of the Greyhound understandably proved to be too much for the track management, who sent bulldozers to The Bog soon afterwards. In the words of Joni Mitchell, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

I think I will be there as I like Watkins Glen and the climate. And its the 60th Birthday of my GT500. I was there at the 50th Birthday also.

One of my "Home" tracks! I Instruct up there a few times a year. Fast, flowing, famous, and fun! Great facility, will be good to be there.
