Watkins Glen web site

Law student Cameron Argetsinger dreamed of bringing European style competition to the village where he spent his summer vacations. He drew up a challenging course that encompassed asphalt, cement and dirt roads in and around the village of Watkins Glen.

The dream became reality on Oct. 2, 1948. For five years, the top names in American sports car racing visited the small village and huge crowds came out to watch them race.

Competition moved to a temporary course in 1953, and 2.3-mile permanent circuit was built in 1956. The following year, The Glen hosted its first professional race, a NASCAR Grand National stock car event won by Buck Baker over Fireball Roberts.

The circuit itself was expanded in 1971, as the 1970s brought a wide variety of competition to The Glen, including the Can-Am, Trans-Am, Six Hours, Formula 5000 and CART IndyCar Series. Race winners included many of the top names in international motorsports, including Mark Donohue, Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter and Bruce McLaren.

I saw CanAm and TransAm there summers of ‘71 and ‘72. There has never been anything like CanAm racing since. NASCAR pales in comparison. The Glen was a magnificent place to watch CanAm.

I hate sour cream.

lol
Even with onion soup mix as a dip for chips?
Or a dollop on top of guacamole with a taco or burrito?
Or with chives on a baked potato?
Or baked on top of cheesecake?
