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.

Registration for this event is open here and SpeedWaiver is here. 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!
Photos: Randy from ClutchFoto has kept the photo package pre-order at the same price as prior years (maybe the only thing without a rising price lately?). As a reminder, pre-order customers get all of their photos from the event at a $25 discount over ordering later, faster turnaround time, and more in-depth coverage. Members can pre-order here: https://secure.zenfolio.com/clutchfoto/Preorder682510868/shop.
Also, all photos from previous years are still hosted on Randy’s site on NER’s page here: https://clutchfoto.zenfolio.com/f783943527. He is happy to make any of those available to you guys for club use free of charge. You can simply make a favorites folder and he’ll get them over to you.
