WELCOME EVERYONE

This week we are going to Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York. Please join us for a full weekend of racing.

Watkins Glen International continues a road-racing tradition that dates back to 1948 -- when sports cars competed on the streets of the village at the southern tip of scenic Lake Seneca. The circuit, which at one time hosted the F1 United States Grand Prix, has grown to become one of the most respected facilities in the northeast.

I try not to remember those traumatic anthems. The anthem for yesterday's race (done by the NY National Guard's 199th Army Band) was good, though.

Lights are off the pace car.

some sort of axle problem per MRN...for the 97 car.

20 has 20 car lengths on the 24 car...that's OK, clean air for him to just run laps and stay close...there will be another caution!
