A preview of the Sahlen's Six Hours of Watkins Glen

This weekend, we are headed for another one of the classic sports car races.  It's round three of the Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup for the Tudor United Sports Car Championship at the legendary, and glorious Watkins Glen International Raceway located in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York.

Watch the video, but also, read the story on IMSA.com about the significance of this race track.  We cannot forget the person who designed the original course, either.  Attorney, Cameron Argetsinger is that individual, who brought road racing, to the streets of the town of Watkins Glen.  In doing so, Argetsinger created a racing spectacle, that is still witnessed today, over six decades later.
