Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Uh-oh. Fire at Watkins Glen International

Well folks, no pun intended... the Glen Club is toast.  See

I copied the two photos:

What a blaze.  My guess is no one was aware of the fire until it had gotten
out of control.  The Glen Club was the building next to the essses.  You
could watch the track from indoors or from the roof.  Doubt this will have
any effect upon events beyond the loss of a restaurant/meeting area.  I know
that the Glen region of the SCCA was planning their 50th anniversary
celebration there on March 31 - we'll obviously have to find an alternative
location.

Hmmm... Hope it doesn't affect track operations or the garage!


Fire at Watkins Glen 
3/6/07

In Schyler County, a major fire has broken out at Watkins Glen raceway. The
fire broke around 8:45 Tuesday night. 

An eyewitness says the fire could be seen from miles away and that one of
the clubhouses at the track was fully involved. Six fire companies were
called to the scene. The famed road course at Watkins Glenn held its first
race in 1948. It also hosted the U.S. Grand Prix Formula One races from
1961-1980. 

Nextel Cup racing is set to return to the Glen this August.
