Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival

At the Grand Prix Festival of Watkins Glen, there is something for everyone! Parked along the main streets of the village you will find over 600 classic sports cars of all ages and marques for your enjoyment. In addition to live music, wine tasting, food courts, and assorted other family activities, a variety of vendors of racing items and related Merchandise are provided for your entertainment and pleasure.

 If you own a qualifying automobile and would also like to participate in the festival, you are not alone. Nearly twelve hundred festival attendees will choose to participate in the Festival by registering, as driver/navigator teams, in one of seven Stone Bridge Driver events. Each of the participants in these events share two things in common: a passion for driving classic sports cars and a desire to relive some of the excitement of driving on the original 6.6 mile circuit during the festival

 A number of RCC members stay the weekend and attend the SVRA (Sportscar Vintage Racing Association) Races on Saturday and Sunday at Watkins Glen International. These races require a separate ticket from the festival.

 Some members stay in the Watkins Glen area Thursday to Sunday. I have a block of rooms for Thursday 4^th thru Sunday 7^nd.  If you would like info on the rooms you can contact me, Doug Rigerman. My info is in the Membership Roster or see me at a club meeting..
