Rolex Sahlen's Six at the Glenn
Permalink Closed

Last Week Matt and I went to Watkins Glenn for the Rolex Series Sahlen's Six at the Glenn.
I have never been to a major race like this and all I can say it WOW!!! The smell of high
octane fuel, burning rubber and the scream of the engines in the straight a ways. There is
nothing like it! Hope you all Enjoy the pics!

Pulled into the Glen about 10AM



And the sites just got more intesting from there!The Paddock amongst the Team Trailers





Damage from Friday's race



We got to see Patrick Dempsey being tested by Grand-Am Officials






And Ofcourse, we had to stop and check out our hosts








The Pace Cars.

First up were the F2000's, Sort of like Mini Indy Cars running with 2000CC motors



Short break and we wandered around the Royal Club parking lot

V12 baby!!

 

My Next Truck??

Police car show?

Then Pit Row opened up for the Fan walk and we got to get really close to the cars, Drivers and the crews


Sweet Tool Box!


now thats Exhaust!

The Main Event!!! In the rain!
The Front Straight.












Out of Turn 9.

Turn 10.


into Turn 11

And out..





Pit Road action.



The Finish Line

Victory Lane

The First Place car in DP

The Second Place car

First Place car in GT?

LMAO!!! Thanks guys, Yeah it was a blast!!

Tim, Matt didn't eat anything while we were there, he waited until we stopped for Dinner in Town. That was a cool place and really good food too! No parts, Not even broken parts to hang in the garage. And I'll let him explain about taking pics with the girls, even better I'll let him show you!

Joe, I'm not sure if we had back stage passes or not, we just wandered around everywhere we could that was locked, LOL! Trust me, I'm really surprised the truck didn't get towed from the lot we parked in.

Matt, Not sure. The weather, the fact that it's not a very publisized series, I'm really not sure. But it was a lot of fun.

Thanks Bob and Jay! I really can't wait until next year!

KOOL Dave.....Now that you are "hooked", you will be going down to Poconos, or Dover, or maybe even Indy or god willing "Daytona" !

My youngest daughter went to Darlington and Daytona, Dover twice, and got rained out at the Poconos. Racing is an addiction!

Thanks for sharing the Pics!

Dave, I have been hooked on racing since I could walk! Spent many years working in the pits of the local tracks for my old boss and a few friends. But never had the actual chance to get to any nationally televised races. I want to go to Indy one of these years, I already have a place to stay anytime I want. I'm working on taking a trip to Mid Ohio race track in the fall to see some NASA racing, But yeah Pocono is on the list, Tim and I talked about that a while back
