Should F1 Go Back to Watkins Glen?

Nice, historic track.

Only problem is that it's in New York.

So, nope.

Yes! It is a REAL race track. Unfortunately it is very far away from large pockets of people.

No. It would cost many millions of dollars to bring the facilities up to F1 standards. F1 will not go there without it. And then there is the $30 million fee that the track has to pay to F1 for them to come.

“Should F1 Go Back to Watkins Glen?”


I know you’d love it!

Sort of a thread slide:

I watched a new (at least to me) car show last evening called Vintage Voltage.

It’s set in Whales and they electrify and restore some fun cars. Likely not everybody’s ‘cup ‘o’ tea’ but rather interesting to see the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Did some mean ol’ piker nip the engine out of your Ferrari 308 GTS? Electrify it, mate! Season 1, episode 8...

I say it on Motor Trend TV (Dish 246),

No more USA races. We would ruin the series.

When they raced at Indy, everybody helicoptered to Chicago (175 miles) because the restaurants and hotels here weren’t upscale enough. What’s the helo time to NYC?

A TV show has scenes that are made up? Never! How dare he say that!

Lol.

They were at the Indy 500 back when they were pimping for the Nat Guard. Kimby is actually very small. Luyendyk on the left is about my size (5-7, 150#) and you can see the comparison.
