Learned a lot about the fantastic racing history in the Glen, thanks!

I raced there in SCCA & IMSA Camel GT series. We also raced one year in the Trans Am. Could be a very challenging track. It made you earn your victory.

its moving to hear sir Jackie speak about the Glen never knowing that F. Cevert, RIP, would lose his life there, ending Sir Jackie's career prematurely. watching any historic racing video you know those tragic moments are lurking within the content, but love of motor racing inevitably overcomes the apprehension. 'Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.'

1972. You saw these films at your quarterly sports car club meetings.

Great video honoring this historic track. I raced there in its 50th anniversary with the SCCA.

Fantastic video! Thanks very much for the upload. I attended many races at the Glen, beginning with the 1961 Formula One race. We parked on an approach road. As we walked, I heard what I thought were nearby angry bees. It was the sound of those 1.5 liter race engines, a mile away. Many fond memories of weekends at the Glen!

If I were to live back east, I'd definately live in Watkins Glen

And in 1973 we lost the great Francois Cevert during a practice session for the Grand Prix.

Brocks sideburns are mint!

@lantz66.. Lol, Brocks sideburns are truly mint! In 1972 I was 3 years old. I kept telling my dad I want to grow long sideburns too.. please, please. My dad would always say, In due time son, in due time..

@90daysinvegas53 Год назад

Back then Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi had a private competition going to see who could grow the longest sideburns..lol I think Brock Yates got'em both beat! And they all are taking confidence in the fact that they all got Elvis beat!.. Lol

Interesting, tragically so, to see David Hobbs driving and talking as he did so at the left hand 'esses' bend just after which Cevert would die so horribly the following year.

@8-bitsteve500 5 лет назад

Watkins Glen broke my heart...I loved the place now I hate it and just the mention of the name makes me upset.
