Opening weekend at Watkins Glen International Raceway
Sunday, April 21st.
Come join the Upstate NYMCC members and drive the track that Grand Am and NASCAR Drivers made famous!
Meeting place will be the same as last year, the Gas station right across from the Exit 42 Tolls.
Plan of attack will be meet at the Meeting place for 9:00, once everyone has arrived, the caravan will head to the track. Once everyone has made their laps we will park and wander around checking out the other rides. Then head for Lunch at the Burger King in the town. If time permits [weather too] we'll stop and get some group pictures along the lake side.
Post up who plans on going, so I have a car count.
Matt and I will be there with two Montes. Two of his friends, Jack and Cam, will be joining us with their cars
Remember, this is a rain or shine event!

I am going, I plan on driving up Saturday, staying at a hotel and then hanging out with you guys on Sunday for all the wild and wacky adventures. I am still deciding if I want to return home on Sunday or stay the extra day and return Monday.
I need to make reservations, I plan on staying here, most expensive hotel, but it's the closest and nicest looking: http://www.watkinsglenharborhotel.com/
I plan on taking the GTO cause it's tires are better....is there a form I need to fill out for the actual event or is it pay at the gate?
Matt, I will try, but I'm not making any promises, LOL!
Jen, It's really something you need to do atleast once, especially since you have the Dale Jr. Edition. Hope to see you next year, we'll be there.
Joe, no Pre reg forms. It's a pay at the paddock deal. And search for hotels in Geneva as well, it's about 45 minutes from the track, but we have to drive right through there anyways and can meet you along the way. Might be a little less expensive.
Last year it cost $25. for 3 laps, $20 for the track and $5 for the NASCAR day Charity.

Yep my reservations are in at the hotel above, it's on 15 minutes away so that made it easy for me, I'm going up Saturday and coming home Monday, I guess start texting/calling me sunday morning when your on your way down so we can meet up.
Devin, if your buddy is staying at a hotel in Watkins glen let us know, or if people are coming from the South, we can find a second meeting place in Watkins Glen to meet up. WE are already planning on meeting Joe someplace in Watkins Glen (right now the hotel). I just want to make sure we get everyone and they all know the plans. Let us know if there are questions!!

Cool! That hotel is right near the turn to the track. We will make that the 2nd meeting spot.
Joe I will Text you when were leaving the 1st meeting spot. It's a little over a half hour drive to the hotel depending on traffic.

Looks like we have a good mix of cars going, that's ok though! Still a bunch of monte's going :D One of the member on the montearloforum might be coming up from NC! He's really big into nascar so he wants to see the Glen. He might be bringing his 68 Torino instead of his monte though

One of my friends will be be coming along with his MR2. Meeting him up around the pendalton area. but we should be there right around 9 at the first meeting place.
So it looks like from Buffalo we'll have 5 vehicles this year.
