Watkins Glen July 28th-30th

[Phokaioglaukos]

Very glad to see a Riesentöter forum. This should be a more efficient way to exchange information about our events than Rennlist can be, especially as word of this forum becomes more widely known.

The weather forecast for the Glen, as much as that means, is improving with ever less rain forecast. Vince and I were there in the pouring rain on the 12th, and that was NO fun. I went out on RA1s but it was pointless. Once the rain diminished, though, the adhesion on the asphalt was very good very quickly--MUCH more quickly than the cement. Keep two wheels on the asphalt in the wet as best you can. And bring Rain-X.  The better prepared we all are for rain the less likely it will rain, I believe.

For those many of you driving up the NE extension and across on 81 and 17, pay particular attention to the stretch of 17 around Johnson City where the speed limit drops to 55 mph. That spot can attract law enforcement with laser speed detection just as you crest a rise. Don't ask me how I know.
