2026 PCA-NER Watkins Glen International

Watkins Glen International

About this event

Event Documents:

Our fourth DE event of the season is at “The Glen” – Watkins Glen International. This is one of the most renowned tracks in the country and a real privilege for us to enjoy. Information on accommodations can be found on the Watkins Glen website.

We will be welcoming our friends from outside the NER/NCR regions to join us so we will have a paddock full of amazing cars and amazing drivers.

Camping: No on-site camping is available at The Glen for this event. See NER event page for camping details 

Registration for this event will open January 16th. This year we will have full access to the garages and surrounding paddock. Demand for the garages always greatly exceeds supply so register, reserve a garage, and pay early so you don’t end up in garage-wait-list hell. If you reserve a garage that includes the adjacent parking space outside the stall. If you did not reserve a garage please DO NOT park in one of those spaces!

Dinner: The dinner is being catered by Dinosaur Barbecue who will be barbecuing on-site for us at the municipal park in downtown Watkins Glen. This is a different site than previous years.  Beer/wine etc start at 5:15 ish followed by dinner at 6.

ADX: At this event, we are offering the Advanced Driver Experience for white, black, and red run group drivers.  Space is limited.  The ADX program provides a unique learning environment where drivers work with coaches in small groups who put an emphasis on practicing and learning skills to help you achieve your goals quickly.  

Event requirements

Driver Education Requirements

  • Minimum age 18 with a valid driver’s license in hand at the event.
  • If a car on the track has a passenger, at least one (1) occupant must be an NER-approved instructor and the other must be a registered participant.
  • While we have professional corner workers at most events, most participants will have a work assignment. In fairness to fellow workers, any participant who is tardy or who fails to show up at his/her assigned station will forfeit time on the track.
  • No illegal or drowsiness-inducing drugs or alcohol consumption prior to or during the hours of the event; by any person attending the event, driver or guest.
  • The Technical Inspection area of this site explains many very important requirements to note prior to coming to the track. Of particular note are harnesses and brake fluid.
