Watkins Glen/ Corning NY event

Damn, just saw this a day too late, were you able to make it? Fantastic show, tons of good pics!

 

I just helped a friend get his 365GTB/C Comp. Daytona ready. He's heading down tomorrow

 

I would have drooled all over it - would have made detailing very difficult!

 

I was will not be at the track event, but if anyone wants a CD of the show pics PM me

 

Its sad but i'm used to seeing it. He's a family friend and i've seen it/been in it a bunch of times. He drove it to my house once when his family came to dinner! It was amazing

Now his 288GTO......its hard for me not to drool on that...

 

That was a sweet ride, sounded great

 

So I hear this event was amazing. Where can we see photos from the national meet?

 

Its probably the only GTB/C that has had 3 people in it. The owner, me and my friend. It was very cramped but very fun. We drove it about a mile on the roads from a show to his trailer. So much fun. He drives it around here every now and then. He gave a ride to a neighbour for about half an hour when it was her birthday

I was up there last week, and it was a great gathering. I have some pics that I took as well, and will post them when I get a chance to go through them. Some absolutely wonderful cars, and the weather for the track days could not have been better.

Thanks to all of you from this region. We drove up from Charlotte, NC and enjoyed 5 days of perfect weather, great hospitality, and three terrific days at the Glen. Wow, what a track. more pics when I get some sleep.

Hey, any of you run with the young lady with the yellow 355 Challenge? I met her at the Trackmasters event the other day - we were bleeding our brakes together (don't tell my wife). She told me she had instructed at the FCA event and I have to say she was not very complimentary!

 

umm picutres please...of both the car and the girl

 

There were several women instructors at the event, a couple of them being very attractive, and great drivers. The problem with the event was that it was just too crowded. They ended up combining the blue and red groups (the two fastest groups), putting over 60 cars on the track at the same time. I usually run in the blue group there in my Corvette with FCA, but since I was driving my 308, I moved myself down to the white group, which turned out to be the right move, as there were less than 30 cars in that group. They usually run green (novice) and white together, blue and red separately, but changed for this event, and ran a separate session for instructors since they had so many of them there for this event.

I have attended a lot of FCA track events, and they are always well run. Because this was in conjunction with the National Meet, there were a lot more cars and drivers than usual, so things got a little uncoordinated, and some folks were not very happy. I had no problems and had an absolutely great time on the track with the 308 (which was never intended to be a track car for me, but since this was a Ferrari-only event....).

 

Complimentary of what? The FCA event? Bleeding brakes? The weather?

 

That's one expensive traffic jam! Sounds like a great time, though. Sorry I missed it.

 

I finally got all of my pictures up! So, for those of you asking...here's something to look at! There are many pics of F-chat member cars who were there. If you are looking for a car you don't see, drop me a line

I met her after she had been in an OTE (off track excursion) with someone in a 360. She was a little shaken up.

a little photo preview...
