So just found out about the event and signed up for the laps.. Cannot wait, first time on the track.
I cannot make it for lunch since I have to work. Was wondering if there are any groups meeting and driving down mid afternoon. would love to drive down with a group. I will be leaving from Rochester (near the airport) around 1:30.. would be willing to meet somewhere if there were groups leaving later..
Thanks,
TommyD

Sorry but just got word from Rob at Watkins Glen that due to a policy change effective immediately, we will not be allowed a 2nd set of laps. Rob did all he could to try to let our group get them but could not. We really appreciate his efforts. Will keep you posted as I hear more.
On a good note, it is supposed to be a beautiful day, we have about 75 for lunch and 56 cars signed up for laps.

Yes, I assume so. Have not heard anything from Rally committee. This is very last minute.
Trying to keep my head up. Been crazy since I drove out here yesterday. Rough ride in the heat, scuffed the Mustang on some road debris, got sunburn in the car, locked my keys in the car today and had to call AAA. Then this happens. I hope everything else goes good. I may need to bail on the boat ride, I'm just physically exhausted from the heat, driving and stress.

The Rally was a great event! I want to thank everyone that came out and to Mike and Dave for helping out. We really do need a committee for this event. I always enjoy coming to this event, everyone I meet is so friendly and its like I've known you guys forever. I know there was some disappointment in losing the 2nd set of laps. It seems maybe other clubs are ruining it for the rest of us. It could also be why we were paced slower. Don't really know. We will have to see what happens. I got a lot of feed back from the change in lunch, some good and some bad. I am glad people were honest because we want people to have a good time. Dave and I and whoever else will be the 2016 committee will be looking into some other options for Friday, possibly a picnic. We welcome any ideas. We know it can get boring waiting around to do laps but at the same time, want to keep cost low so we really need to figure out the best way to handle the afternoon.
Congrats to Chris (Captain Chris) on the trophy. Looking forward to seeing everyone's pics. It was great seeing everyone again and great to meet so many people. There are so many people that never post on this site that I met and it was really nice. Also nice to put some faces to the regulars I've never met. Thanks again everyone for a great weekend!

My apologies to anyone upset about the Laps. It was beyond our control. From a car turnout this was the best year yet. What I've always thought was great about Watkins. Turn the TV on this weekend you can see the same track and know that you drove it last week! More info to follow in the coming weeks. Thanks to those staying on top of it!
Send your name an address to info@ironhorseautosport.com We had some checks leftover. We will get you and anyone else that didn't receive one a check... Thanks!
Hey everyone. We have formed a committee for next years Rally that will include myself, Dave, Tracy and Mike. We are beginning to discuss some details for Friday. If you have any ideas for lunch, things to do before track, etc. please post here. We are running through some ideas and may post up a poll soon. Would like to get your feed back as well. For example, did you like the Glen for lunch? Is the day too long, boring, etc.
Also, some of us have started booking our rooms. We are booking at the Ramada. The dates are August 5th - 7th for the Rally. We are not blocking any rooms, but you can go and book them at www.genevaramada.com There are lots of rooms available right now and if you don't mind pre-paying (no cancellation), there are some good rates. I always go with AAA which is a little cheaper but flexible for changes/cancellation. There are other hotels in the area but Geneva hotels do sell out very fast for that weekend so don't wait!
