Watkins Glen Fire

[Brian Minkin]

I just read on Rennlist that the club house at Watkins Glen was on fire and was a total loss. Confirmed it on goggle news that it was the Glen Club and it is a total loss. Reports say it did not damage the race track.

Now that buffet fish they serve will be extra well done.  I hope they rebuild soon since the rooftop is a great place to get pictures of turn 2 and the esses.

That's too bad.  Here's the story...

they'll probably have something rebuilt by IRL (7/8) or Nascar (8/12).

at least it doesn't appear that anyone was hurt, including the track.  The Club can always be rebuilt - and that's a good thing.  The old club was getting a little "dated"

I hope the kitties that live under it are ok :X
