The Watkins Glen International Driving Experience

Watkins Glen, located at the southern tip of Lake Seneca in Watkins Glen, New York is one of the premier permanent road courses in North America. This first class 3.4 mile facility hosted the United States Grand Prix for many years, and now the track is one of two road courses that NASCAR Sprint Cup races on. This is the same track that drivers from Jeff Gordon to Jackie Stewart have driven on!

Event requirements

The Sports Car Driving Association welcomes all driving enthusiasts to attend our events. In the interest of clarification, we would like to outline the basic criteria that should be met, in order to place you in the appropriate run group. We make every effort to ensure that drivers are placed in run groups with other drivers of comparable experience levels. This will ensure that run groups are balanced, safe and fun. This guideline is meant to serve as a tool to help you decide where you would fit in best within SCDA.

 

Run Group Classification:

NOVICE is also known as the Green Run Group. ( Newer track drivers with no experience to limited experience, Instructor provided)

INTERMEDIATE  is also known as the Blue Run Group. When there is only one run group, it is a combined INT 1 and INT 2 group. (Must have prior experience driving solo without an instructor)

ADVANCED is also known as the Red Run Group. (Highest level- years of track experience)

*Please note that the above is a rough guideline, more info on the SCDA website.  Please contact elivan@scda1.com if you are not sure of which group or make a comment during the registration form.

 

Sound Limit at this event:  UNMUFFLED!

 

Helmets:

SNELL SA-2010 or newer

 

Convertibles:

For safety reasons, all convertibles (Boxster, Miata, Corvette, BMW Z4, Honda S2000, Pontiac Solstice etc.) are required to have a roll bar that meets the following two criteria in order to be eligible to run during any event. 1) The roll bar must be in the fixed position and visible at all times. This means that roll bars which are designed to automatically deploy are not acceptable unless they are in the full upright and locked position at all times. 2) The roll bar must allow the driver to pass the “broomstick” test which means that the top of the drivers helmet must be below the line from the top of the roll bar to the top of the windshield. There are aftermarket roll bars and/or seats which can be used to help meet these requirements. If your convertible meets these standards, then you are welcome to participate! Factory hard tops are acceptable, as well.
