Watkins Glen is ON!!!

Post by deimos » Fri Apr 20, 2007 11:22 am

Watkins Glen is a GO!!!

The track confirms that we'll be all set for Monday. The off-track areas will be muddy. If you go off track, prepare for mud, mud, and some more mud. Also prepare to sit and wait for the wrecker to pull you out.

Did you get that Raj?

I hope you understand the consequences of an "off-track"!!

Raj has all-wheel drive, I'm sure he can just idle out. The rest of us should bring a good book to read.

Sounds like Shenandoah circa April '05.

Wow, mud central! Looks like lots of fun in my new 4x4 Off-Road tow vehicle :)


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GUYS... a note for my own self-preservation. If you go off track please be kind to us open wheel folks, as kicking mud in our face is not sportsman-like.

Bruce, if you need some standard helmet visor tear-offs i have some.
Enjoy the Track,

Steve, after seeing the F-car off more than once, make sure you extend the same courtesy to us tintops ;)

Yes sir Private Ryan :)

Am already set to basically take things slow and easy for Saturday and learn the car. ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to rush anything, so odds are may actually be slower in the open wheeler than the 308 and am very much happy to be in that mode. Am leaving the down force on the slightly highish for WGI as a precaution.

Hmm... perhaps the 2008 Ford F-250 Superduty with off-road tires would be a better bet for WGI excursions? That truck would make Miatas nearly imperceptable speed bumps on the way to the start/finish line ;)
Enjoy the Track,

Yeah, as the saying goes (maybe I just created it):
"If think you're going to be a mudder stay off the racing line"
