Howard Cohen Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I went to The Glen yesterday for the Historics. It's only a four hour drive each way, so it's close THere were hundreds of vintage race cars and hundreds more for the infield car show. During the lunch break, the cars did two laps behind the pace car. If you have never been to this event, GO! There are always some very interesting and important cars to see plus celebrities plus thousands of fans to talk to. It was a great day in perfect weather. https://public.fotki.com/HowardCohen/watkins-glen-histor/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Agree 100%. I went last year and it was actually chilly but seeing the cars drive through town and on the track and in the pits was great.

espo Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Always enjoy your photography of all the automotive events you attend. Great subjects and lots of model building ideas. The little black '50 Ford reminds me of a '51 I had many many years ago. Same type of engine setup, just never got a paint job any where close to this.

Old Nasty Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) This coming weekend is the fall vintage classic at Road America. I'm looking forward to it. Only 50 miles away. Edited September 9, 2019 by Old Nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Wow, I haven't been to the Glen since '67 when I went to see the Grand Prix of the United States. That was an awesome time and a long drive as I lived in Chicago at the time. Thanks for the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks for sharing. That was before my time, and back east, so I never enjoyed the history. The closest I've come to such an event, is the Monterey Historics, had a headache from sensory overload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 On my bucket list is a trip to "The Glen" and especially to Lime Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nells250 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (INSERT DROOL HERE) I SO miss going to shows and events with just those types of cars... (sigh)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Nemanic Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 When I was a college student in the 1970s I lived about a quarter mile from the McCoy race shop. They always kept the doors closes- no easy feat in the Modesto summer temps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Finally got a chance to look through all those excellent photos. Found a couple in there I have been wanting to build, so I saved the photos to my "Want to Build File", thanks for sharing these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
