International GT Caution-Free Record
You’ve heard the old saying “knock on wood” when something is on a positive streak but we say GOOD JOB to all the 2025 International GT competitors for marking 6 event weekends without any cautions for car-to-car contact!! Even with large fields and tight starts (like the one in the photo from March at Road Atlanta) everyone has raced clean and safe!
Click on the photo of Tom Kirk’s 22A to link to a video from Mid Ohio’s enduro showing exactly what we mean. Fast, fun, competitive, safe racing!
Admittedly, there have been a few off-course adventures taken by single cars but no car-to-car contact resulting in caution per
iods. We say big KUDOS!!
We’re well past the half-way mark in the season with just four races remaining and we look forward to more of the same super fa
st, safe and conscientious racing throughout the final events of the year.
Summer Racing Reset Heading into WGI
The conclusion of the International Mid Ohio race traditionally marks the start of the summer break for the series. We wish everyone happy summer days of vacations, graduations, weddings, reset or whatever your summer break includes.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in beautiful upstate New York for our return to racing at Watkins Glen International in September (see below for registration).
Enjoy your summer!!
A New York State of Mind
The best part of summer is returning to racing in early September at Watkins Glen. If you have never been to Watkins Glen to race, there is a reason why so many drivers love the place!! Not to mention, the area surrounding the circuit is spectacular! From the NY Finger Lakes to the sprawling vineyards and wineries, there is great scenery. Additionally, the quaint village of Watkins Glen is full of shopping and restaurants and a fun hike up the WG Gorge and State Park (photo left) has to be included in your plans.
Even if your family or significant other is not as much into racing as you, there is plenty to do around Watkins Glen. Don’t forget to save time for the Corning Glass Museum too (photo right)!
