RE: Watkins Glen
I hope they didn't run the NASCARconfiguration and cut out the "the boot". My brother ran his E30 with BMWCCA a few weekends ago and he raves about that section of the course.

RE: Watkins Glen
When I was on the track I really had a hard time figuring out where I actually was. So not sure if I did the boot or not.
The pace was supposed to not exceed 55 but I got up to 100 . They held us back pretty good in the corners. Honestly the speed we were going was fast enough for me without a roll bar and a helmet. LOL
Still can't figure out how the real drivers deal with those rumble strips in the corners. There pretty rough.
My car felt real solid all around and I was pleased with my set up
