The trick is the early registration ends april the 15th and the cost is $435 , after that is $485 .There are still a few garage bays available . I've been there last year and I had a blast . Great track, longer than Mosport International ( 5 kms)and in my opinion better suited for low hp cars such as mine . The track goes up and down and you can get alot of momentum down hill .
So if anyone who hasn't been there wants to join me , please pm me before thursday night so we can send in the application forms in the same envelope . There are instructors provided for novices . For more info , please check out this http://phoenixcmr.com/default.html
I was there 2 years ago with the NY BMW Club and I can confirm that not only is this one of the most historic tracks in North America, it is definitely one of the best ... and although I prefer Mosport because I know it better, I'll do Watkins Glen anytime I can.
If I can get the supercharged engine that came from the red car into the silver car in time, I will be going ... trying to do 5 or 6 track weekends this year.
I'll let you know Gabe if I'm doing this one and perhaps we can caravan down - it may be a last-minute decision though. It would be good to compare the SVT to a SC ZX5.
