So where is that? Is that just on the other side of the fence by the bathroom at the edge of the garages? I think it gravel out there or it was two years ago.
When are you guys arriving? I am hoping to arrive around dinner if I can get out of work when I am planning. Its always easy to look for Andrews trailer.
Yes, outside the fence. and yes it is gravel - but has power and room…
We’re arriving Thursday around 5:00pm
Does anyone know what the deal is with the garages? Can we rent them out? Or are they first come, first serve?
I won’t be arriving till Friday evening, so I can kiss a garage good bye! 
Any E30 peeps trying to get a garage?
I did not think I registered early but I guess I did and got a garage. Since its WGI and highly likely to have gusty 50 degree rain I think I am going to use it and swing by and visit you guys on the other side of he fence to keep from getting bored between runs.
I will be in 18b. If the weather sucks we can just take over the garage and make that SE30 central.
Man, this weather looks awful. Sub-50 highs both days, and infinite sogginess. Hope everyone has a fresh set of rains!
Definitely an interesting weekend! This was my first time at Watkins Glen and I had a blast. It’s always been very high on my list of tracks to drive and now it is very high on my list of favorite tracks! The weather was 100% miserable, low 40’s, raining, windy, foggy, just horrible. Luckily, I enjoy such weather once I’m on track. Practice was very educational. Qualifying was equally rainy with low visibility; I was able to put the 74 on Pole in the shortened session. The race conditions were nearly identical; I got a good start and led the entire race. The double yellows came out once the fog got too bad and we ended under caution. Set the fastest lap and got the W.

When I woke up Sunday morning I could hear the wind and rain and knew it was going to be more of the same. Sunday quali brought the same conditions we saw on Saturday. I was able to put the car on Pole again and was looking forward to a good race. Around lunch time the fog lifted, the rain stopped and things actually began to dry out. I was excited to drive Watkins Glen in the dry but at the same time I knew that I had never had a single dry lap on the track and knew that it would be quite an adjustment in the early laps of the race. Sure enough, it was. I led the first lap but Sean Curran and Matt Russell got by and began to pull away slightly. As we clicked off the laps and I got more and more comfortable with the track and my dry marks, my laps started to come together. I was able to catch and pass Sean and Matt. A late caution came out so that the EV guys could push matt out of the wet/muddy grass, after the caution there was only a lap or so of green flag racing. I held on to the lead and was able to win the race again with the fastest lap.

All in all, an awesome weekend at the Glen. I have not been that cold in quite some time but the on track excitement made up for the weather. Big thanks to my Dad, DriveGear, and everyone else for helping out. Great racing with the NE guys……it’s not too late to sign up for VIR this weekend, temps supposed to be in the 70’s!
Big shout out to Andrew & Jon of Drivegear for comming to my rescue with borrowed rains at the Glen.
Just another example of why Spec E30 is the greatest race group out there!!!
I think my feet and arse are finally dry:P
We had a really good group in the paddock and the racing was clean and fun…
Next year I’m definitely going to reserve a garage in case of monsoon…
Miserable weather, but still a fun weekend nonetheless. We had our biggest field yet and it was good having Grace and Gagliardo come up from MA.

Truer words never spoken…
Should = operative word but the forward camera failed. Rear cam should be fine but haven’t pulled it down yet.
