Not Ranked
Driving the original road course is a real thrill not so much for the speed as about 50 mph is fast enough on those old well worn roads. The real thrill is imagining the skills and courage it took to drive that course so many years ago. Narrow stone bridges as well as crossing over RR tracks and the road is barely two lane wide.
We do the old course almost every trip to the Glen and for anybody who wants to give the course a test drive it is clearly marked and since it is all public roads it is open all the time.
Stop off at the Seneca Lodge Bar for a beer during one of your laps as it is as famous for it's many racers having tipped a few as the track itself.
The Watkins Glen Vintage GP is said to be the largest gathering of vintage racecars in the USA.
