Happy Independence Day
From all of us at International GT, best wishes for a HAPPY and SAFE 4th of July. Be safe with travels and in celebrating our great country!
Porsche Featured Marque at Watkins Glen
For those of you who own older Porsche race cars and prep shops that support them, Watkins will be a return to the historic race car parade and the event will feature Porsche. Here is more info (yes, we cut and paste from the SVRA site, but they said it so well!) We will add that the downtown reenactment is fantastic and if you can schedule to get downtown after our session you should!
“One of the largest vintage events on the SVRA’s calendar, this weekend brings together hundreds of vintage race cars of all ages, makes and models. Air-cooled Porsches, are being featured. Brian Redman will be the Grand Marshal.
The annual Grand Prix Festival, held on Friday in downtown Watkins Glen, commemorates the early sports car races that took place on a 6.6-mile course laid out on village streets. A high point of the Festival is the Grand Prix reenactment, with SVRA race cars driving the original Watkins Glen street course to the cheers of 20,000 enthusiastic spectators.
Memorable track action and a unique downtown festival combine for a great weekend in the scenic Finger Lakes region of New York. It doesn’t get any better!”
