Drive The Thunder Road – Watkins Glen International

If you've always dreamed of driving on the same track as the likes of Jackie Stewart, Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser and Mark Donohue, NASA Northeast has the event you have been waiting for. On September 19 and 20, NASA Northeast, along with Driving Impressions, Partsquest.com and Raceshopper.com will be hosting a two-day High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) at world-famous Watkins Glen International Raceway in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York. Come up on Saturday and make a weekend of it. Tour the local vineyards or visit one of the many waterfalls in the area, besides driving fast, there are plenty of other things to do in the area.

If you have never been on a track before, classroom and in-car instruction are provided. NASA’s HPDE program gives you and your car a safe and affordable way to get on the track. No speed limits, no pedestrians, but best of all, no tickets. You are provided with an experienced instructor to help guide you through the event, one on one, as you learn how to handle your car at the limit. Set your own goals and go as fast as you feel comfortable. Starting with HPDE, you can progress as far as you want, even up to wheel-to-wheel racing.

Watkins Glen is the ultimate track experience in the northeast. There will be a prize raffle on Sunday with many valuable prizes provided by Driving Impressions (teamdi.com), RacerPartsWholesale.com, Partsquest.com, Raceshopper.com and others. NASA Northeast will also be raffling off a free track day to Lime Rock Park. Raffle tickets are free with your entry!
