Default Watkins Glen Driving School Schedule Updated

See the 2013 schedule for Instructional events in the attached PDF file. Most of the groups will accept non members. Typical busy year. Could almost rent a house and spend the whole summer there.

Update:
Hooked on Driving is scheduled for 10/9 and 10/10 Wed/Thur.

1/21/2013
Here is a link that will take you to the schedule along with contact information for several of the organizations running the schools. Also includes NASA-NE and Hooked on Driving Northeast Region Schedules.

The Canadians will be there at least for a couple events. The traditional kick off event Apr 29-30 and a fall event, either with Nasa or CMR.. or another?? We have 10 confirmed already for the April event.

Steve,

How 'bout breaking with tradition and doing the Trackmasters event 4/26->4/28 Friday is just plain open track, no students. Then 4.5 hrs (or more) of open track the next two days.

Hey Keith, none of us have run with TM before, is that an issue? I'll have to check with the group as I think we all have our hotel rooms booked as well. Is there a different TM date you are going to? I love coming to the Glen.

I'd love to get back to The Glen this year. Coming in for the Vintage races and then doing the COM event would be perfect if I can swing it with the family.

I went to spectate at their Sept 2011 event after my engine blew and spent a lot of time drooling all over a Ferrari Red 458. What a beautiful car.

I'm looking forward to running more at the Watkins Glen circuit more now that I moved from Northern VA to Northern Maryland (Havre de Grace)!

I work at APG - supporting I2WD.
