If you listen closely to the first video, you can hear the Shelby GT500 (stroked 427FE) that was running right behind me as he downshifts for the first turn (the crowd was yelling "Cobra" as we went by). You can then hear his front tires protesting as he tried to match our speed in the second corner
I was (pleasantly) suprised at the speeds we ran on some parts of the old course!
Beautiful scenery, awesome cars and owners, and TWO race courses (old street course and new course on the hill)!!! Watkins Glen is truely (and historicly) the "home" of American Road Racing. I believe that the original street course is now listed in the Historic Registry.
