Tonight the wife & I visited the Corning Museum of Glass, an icon of the area. After all my years coming to Watkins Glen I've never visited this place until now.
As they say, "The Corning Museum of Glass cares for and displays the world’s best collection of art and historical glass. When you visit, you’ll see more than 3,500 years of history displayed in the Glass Collection Galleries, from the glass portrait of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh to contemporary sculpture made in glass."
Guess where I'm going to be this week? That's right! At Watkins Glen International for the Grand-Am Rolex Sportscar Series famed Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen! I'll be joining Mike Hedlund and Johannes van Overbeek in the Extreme Speed Motorsports Tequila Patrón Ferrari 458 Italia Grand-Am.
Last year the three of us had a great run at the 6 hour, battling it out with Grand-Am's best in GT where we finished 4th. This year we will be strong again, but definitely looking to improve on that 4th place finish and bring home some BACON - or is that Hot Dogs...?
Extreme Speed Motorsports and I just wrapped up a very successful two-day test at one of North America's greatest race tracks - VIRginia International Raceway. It was a much-needed test that helped us gain a much better understanding of exactly what these Honda Racing HPD P2 machines really need to go FAST - and FAST is an understatement...
A few weeks ago I made it to my first NHRA drag race - ever! The Extreme Speed Motorsports Tequila Patrón drivers made a field trip up to Raceway Park in New Jersey to see how the other side of the Tequila Patrón racing family did things, and that was with Alexis DeJoria and Team Kalitta.
