Rolex at the Glen!
Permalink Closed

Last Sunday Tim, Matt, My Dad, Brother in law, Myself and 2 of Matt's friends went to Watkins Glen for
the Sahlen's "Six Hours at the Glen" Rolex Series Race. After being there last ear, I couldn't wait till this year.
More cars were entered and they had even better side by side racing! I took over 170 pics! Here are the best of them, Enjoy!

 

Heading to the track, the scenery is just beautiful!


Before the race, we wandered around pretty much everywhere.












Great Guys to talk to, plus they let me take home a tire!











Pre Race talks with another Team owner

Tim found the new wheels for his SS

The 51 APR car getting it's stripes



The truck of my dreams!!!!

FXDD being towed to the pits.

Then we got out onto pit row for the Fan Walk.





Had to have a quick talk with Boris Said.




Couldn't even get near Patrick Dempsey, He's some sort of an actor on the side I guess.



Of Course we rooted for Team Sahlen, they footed the bill for us to see the race!




Micahel Shank Racings #60, the winner of the 2012 24 hours of Daytona. And I got their
left front tire hanging in my garage!

This one is for Joe!!



Halfway on pit road!








Here is where we went wrong in April! We didn't have a map of the track in our cars!




The Start of the race was Awesome! They had a C-130 fly over the start finish line as the first GT car crossed it as well.
Wish the Pic came out.






We decided it was time to wander some.
Richard Petty Enterprises had a great display.






The Nissan LeManz Car





First Round of Pit stops!!!!





Ok, Nothing was funnier than walking around the corner and finding Tim making motor noises!

Took some other pics of the race, then my batteries went dead.








Managed to get some of the wining cars at the very end.

Well, I tried to get the #9 Action Express Corvette, But it got mobbed fast!!!

Second Place went to the #99 Gainsco Corvette

The Winning GT cars were the #57 Stevenson Camaro

And second place went to #94 Turner Motorsports BMW

Jon, anywhere but in the pits and on the track during the race, Before and after the place is all open. Sort of like Petite LeManz, and there are 2 classes currenty. Daytone Prototypes and GT. Next year there are supposed to add a 3rd class to the entire season.

Thanks Joe, it really is amazing there. I know I'll be making plenty of trips back over the next 40 years or so, LOL!

Bob, yes they were! LOL! But they were not even the best looking ones! the Continential Tire girls were a lot better, But since Tim and I kind of didn't want to have to do any explaining in divorce court, we stayed away.

Tim, I think thats when you farted, LMAO!!! I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. Blame Matt for that pic!
