Default went to the irl qualifier today

it was watkins glen. first of all, my friend's dad drove and it was probably one of the scariest rides ive ever taken. its like a 2 hour drive, he decided to try to take a shortcut, which was curve after curve after curve, after hill, after hill after hill.. hes goin like 80 in a tahoe the whole way, we easily passed 30 cars there and back.

anyways, we get there. pay a nice $55 dollars to get in (its the price for the whole weekend). we get there late and get to see the last 3 qualifiers for the irl, then they did the top 6 qualifiers in a 10 minute race, which was cool. there was a gt race that went on for like 2 hours, then we left.

the big question. should i drive 2 hours tommorow and watch the actual race? alone.

ill post pics like tuesday

I've driven watkins in my POS accord several times h: I know a guy in the porsche club of america and they have an open track day down there...I need to buddy up with him when I get my S2K.

I hate the IRL/NASCAR races at the glen, too many people. you need to go to the porsche races with me and my buddies next year.
