Default Watkins Glen, simply awesome.

Briefly, I had an excellent time at the Glen. It was great putting some more faces with screen names (Bruce M, Galvatron, Not a Benz). Bravo to the NEQ club for putting on an awesome event. The track was perfect, the weather held out, and my instructor could not have been better (thanks Paul!!!). Hopefully I'll get the chance to do a full write up sometime soon.

Great track. Long and fast. What did you hit on the back straight?

Default Off topic, but question for the track junkie:

If you had to choose one track event to attend by the end of the year, would you attend the upcoming Summit Point driver training or the VIR training in December?

I've been told VIR is a much nicer track, and this will be my first track event with the S4. Then again, I'm concerned about weather at that time of year. We're supposed to receive another rough winter. Thanks

Default Definitely, I still don't know how you're hitting 140 before the braking zone for the bus stop. I

got close to 130 on my last few laps. Oh well, I guess I just need to get on the gas harder after 1. ;-) Are you going to make it to Summit in Oct. or VIR in Dec.?
