This article says that the track opens April 29. I assume that's in error, since we run April 23&24.

Dry wood, and a remote location, sure make for an eye-catching set of photos!

My one and only experinece at the Glen was when I joined the club in 2000. Fred Sanford was my instructors (I used to call him "why are you using the break for Fred") :? . Dean Clark was chief instructor (I think) and I had a blast. Note Mark and Scott Swinehart were also there and did not make it do the race day ... some mementos for you COM members... :roll: :roll: :roll: they have since become class champions and earned several recognition trophies :P :P :P
Anyway we had the reception at the club. Is that the one that got burned down? Is that club the one that you can get a view by the Esses?
