About this event
2014 NEQ Watkins Glen One Meet, Greet , and Eat
The cost of this event is $35 per person.
Are you interested in learning more about the NEQ high performance driver education program?
Do you like going to the track but don’t really want to drive on it?
Would you like to meet some fellow club members and check out some cars?
Do you like to eat?
If you said “yes” to any of those questions, the NEQ Club has an event for you:
Come join us for a social event at Watkins Glen followed by a banquet dinner at a local winery.
Here’s how it works:
July 14 and 15, the NEQ will be hosting its annual Watkins Glen One High Performance driving school. The event is Monday and Tuesday. It is two days of classroom and on-track instruction with a banquet on Monday night for the students, instructors and volunteers. This year we are expanding the banquet and inviting all Audi Club members to meet us at the track on Monday afternoon and join us for the banquet afterward. So stop by the event anytime Monday afternoon to spectate and hang out at the driving event, then just us for some great food afterward. This is a rare opportunity, as this banquet is usually closed to anyone not attending the school.
**If you are interested in participating in the driver school, or even just learning more about it, please use this link for more information: Watkins Glen One 2014**
**If you are participating in the driver school, please sign up for the banquet as part of you registration there, rather than here (same banquet)**
Here’s what you need to do:
- Sign up here and pay the fee
- Show up at Watkins Glen Gate Two on Monday afternoon (optional)
- Join us for the banquet at a TBD winery
Event requirements
What else do you need to know?
You will need to sign two waivers, one for Watkins Glen at the gate, and another when you check in at the NEQ registration tent.
You must be on the NEQ guest list or Watkins Glen will not let you in to the facility (their rule, not ours). When you sign up here you will be placed on the guest list.
If you want to come by the track but skip the banquet, please contact the eventmasters directly to be placed on the Watkins Glen guest list.
The NEQ will be “on track” until 4:30, and drivers will be packing up until around 5:30, so if you are interesting in seeing some of the track, please allow sufficient time. It may also be possible for a limited number of people to take a track ride with one of our instructors - no guarantees, but arriving early in the day will increase your chances.
If you are hoping to get a track ride, you will need to have long pants, a long sleeve shirt, and closed toed shoes with you.
The driving event at the track is very structured and tightly run, but the social aspect is not. Feel free to wander the paddock and chat with the drivers.
The paddock is a busy place. Please leave small childern or pets at home.
If you want to come by the track but skip the banquet, please contact the eventmasters directly to be placed on the guest list.
This isn't NASCAR; we will run rain or shine...most of the cars are *Quattros* after all...
