We went on a little road trip to Watkins Glen this week and the above video is of the old 6.6 mile racing circuit of 1948. Danny Chin did the driving in his Mazdaspeed 3 and I rigged a Sony Bloggie video camera tethered to a stand from a GPS unit. At normal speeds, the lap can be completed in approximately 9 minutes on public roads. We decided to speed up the video to convey a better sense of speed.
Here's some brief history of the Glen:
We've been having tons of fun the past couple days and we've got more awesome posts coming up as well.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Its a shame IndyCar canned that race.
ReplyDeleteI was there for one of them and it was incredible!
ReplyDeleteU guys prolly drove past my neck of the woods while on your way to the Glen. If your ever in the Middletown area u should swing in for some dirt big block modified races. I race almost every Saturday night during the summer
