Watkins Glen, New York
Recorded September 7, 2016
Watkins Glen, New York is a small town located on the southern tip of Seneca Lake, one of western New York's glacial Finger Lakes. The town is noted for its role in auto racing, being the home of a street course used in road racing, a famous racetrack, Watkins Glen International, which has hosted the NASCAR Cup Series Cheez-It 355 at The Glen, IndyCar Series Grand Prix at The Glen, and the IMSA SportsCar Championship 6 Hours of Watkins Glen.
This video focuses on the area in and around the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel where I spent the night. I walk around the harbor of beautiful Seneca Lake and take a short drive through town.

Senator O'Mara pays tribute to Watkins Glen International and motorsports in New York State
Albany, N.Y., April 21— Both houses of the Legislature will act this week on a joint Legislative Resolution sponsored by State Senator Tom O’Mara (R,C,I-Big Flats) and Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C,I-Corning) calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to proclaim April 19-25, 2015, as “Motorsports Appreciation Week” in New York State.
O’Mara, Palmesano and Assemblyman Chris Friend (R,C,I-Big Flats), who co-sponsors the Resolution in the Assembly, are being joined in Albany today by Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup and professional driver Colin Braun to help celebrate the contributions of motorsports to New York State’s economy and culture. Braun’s stellar, 22-year career in racing has spanned open wheel cars and sports cars to the NASCAR Truck and Nationwide Series.
At the Capitol, the local legislators singled out “The Glen” for its unique contributions to American motorsports. WGI events annually generate over $200 million in economic activity across the region, as well as accounting for more than 2,000 local jobs. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekend in August is one of New York’s largest sporting events and attracts fans from all 50 states as well as 16 different countries.
WGI celebrated its 65th Anniversary in 2014.

Watkins Glen Grand Prix | Path Through History | WSKG
WATKINS GLEN GRAND PRIX | Schuyler County
It was here, after World War II, in the village of Watkins Glen, that Cornell University Law student and auto-racing enthusiast Cameron Argetsinger envisioned an extravagant European style car race in the heart of Schuyler County. During the war, the rationing of gas and rubber had virtually put a stop to car racing in America, but with the end of the war, Argetsinger saw the opportunity to turn his vision into a reality.
On October 2nd 1948, the very first Watkins Glen Grand Prix ran through these very streets and over the next five years the race drew crowds as large as 200 thousand spectators. In 1952, a tragic accident prompted the race to move from the village streets to a permanent raceway that eventually opened in 1956. In 1961, Formula 1 racing came to the Glen and continued here until 1980.
Today, more than 60 years since that first race, Watkins Glen International remains an important stop along the NASCAR racing circuit and also an essential stop along New York's Path Through History.
