Looks like a great time!! Thanks for the pictures John. I'm glad your Z made the run without incident and your write up makes me almost feel like I was there.

Here are two videos from the Motorfest 2018 Watkins Glen event that I think you will enjoy. I suggest you turn the volume way up to get the full effect. This was a LOT OF FUN!!!

Thanks again to the Rochester Z club for inviting us!

Nice video John makes me wish I had been able to go even more.
Were you the only CT guy there ?

Yep, I was the only one from CTZCC to make it this year. Turns out I get the trophy for longest trip to the car show!

Hopefully we get more to come next year.

So glad you had a good time John!! Trust me, we all did! Thanks for taking the trip, it was great spending time with you.

As for the rest of you.....

Plan on joining us next year! The Watkins Glen experience alone is worth the trip. Throw in an awesome kickoff party and a massive car show with all the trimmings and you have a weekend to remember!

TENTATIVE dates for 2019 are July 12-14, they will be firmed up later in the year. Hope to see you there.

Excellent video, John! I love the sound of your Z thru those ANSAs.
I sped it up to 1.5x and made you sound like a 1960s Maserati

On that final lap you guys actually caught up to the tail end of the pack and the safety truck refused to lap them. So you had 3.4 "race miles" of cars strung out around WGI. I think you may have reached your limit.

I've always been SO tempted to drive straight past the chicane and lead you guys out the other side if nobody was looking.

Zee you next year with a new engine.

Thats some great footage John! Your Z seems to be running terrific too BTW!

I have got to do this next year, so much fun! Unbelievable. I'll have to drag my Dad out too, he'll love it.

Thanks John, I sorta feel like I finally got a ride in your awesome Z!
