Upcoming event at Watkins Glen.. passing along info I got in the mail today.. Watkins Glen International Raceway Track Event - Empire State Region Ferrari Club Does FCA allow other marques? Don't think I want to put my 360 Spider on track but my new winter beater STi would be fun. Porsche Club let's you run anything as long as you are a PCA member (except CVR at Limerock, only exception).
Unlikely but you can ask them. I suggest you contact the region Empire State Region Ferrari Club - Ferraris and Fun!. I suspect Bob Coates is running the show. I believe he still is the track chair.
Actually the word I got back is that other marques are welcome. It may be that i'm a Porsche Club National Instructor and they need bodies in the right seat, not sure. I do have an email going to Bob just to be sure.
You are allowed to bring other margues to FCA Club track events- the cars have to been tech inspected, You need the proper Helmet and safety gear according to run group. All experience levels are welcome, instructors will be provided. Watkins Glen is a great track well worth the experience.http://empirestateregion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/WG-2015-April-Flyer-Early-Registration-02.28.15-v3.jpg
Does your STI hold up on track, most that Is ee seem to blow somewhere along the line, maybe they are too heavily modded.
I'll find out! I believe your assumption is correct, people get these things and immediately attempt to get 400+ HP out of them by buying a bunch of cheap parts and tossing them on.. I have a big box of suspension parts going on and had the car dyno tuned for safer/more consistent A/F's than the factory had.
