Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Id like to hear more details about this show if anyone has info. I'm an east coast enthusiast and hopeful I'll get to see some great roadsters here...

Welcome, There are plenty of Roadster attendees that will gladly provide details. In short, it's a premier Roadster event for the East Coasters.

The Glen is a lot of fun! Wineries to visit, beautiful Roadsters and other collector cars, vintage races, and parade laps on the old road course. I hope to make it back sometime.

Here is a link to last year's thread including embedded links to photos on page 5:

I attended last year from the West Coast, sans Roadster, and had a fun weekend.

I see this is your 1st post. Welcome. Perhaps post more about yourself and your car in the "Introductions" section.

I'm in for more info on Watkins Glen for this year.
Wasn't able to make it last year because it was only a week after i moved to NJ.

What are the dates?

Hi all. I'll put up the official info next week. The Grand Prix festival is Friday September 5, but we start Thursday night at Two Goat's Brewery. Everyone does their own thing Friday and we meet up in town late afternoon. Our show is Saturday morning and then dinner and awards that night. Its a fun weekend, you can go to the track, meet up with a group go touring around or just hang out.
Most people arrive Thursday or Friday. Rooms fill up fast so reserve now. A group stays at the Golden Knight inn, may be openings. Anyone who wants to be on the list for email just contact me via pm or email.

Matt, you live about 10 miles from me, you need to stop by some weekend.

Official info is here

Kathy and I just signed up! We will start going around to the local businesses for donations to the raffle. Free wine tasting slips, posters, any thing else we can get. John, the guy who owns 2 goats brewery is signed up for a sandwich/beer deal, Thursday 5pm to closing. Great roast beef with a craft beer. Great time last year! We just ordered shirts and a hat, and of course tickets to the awards dinner! Getting excited, see you all there!

It's looking like I won't be making it this year. Still don't have a top on the car and have to work over the weekend.

Timing doesn't work for me this year. I hope someone posts lots of pics.

The Glen is close. To all heading this way, we are just outside Watkins and would invite all to call us for any needs. My cell 607-379-4131.
Billy from Long Island, vntgesrl and MattGabe you going to make it?

Just finished prepping the car so we plan on being at the Glen racing the 2000. We have a race on Saturday afternoon (2:25 pm) and a race on Sunday morning (8:15 am, yikes...). Cars will be on track Thursday-Sunday. Please stop by the paddock and say hi if you attend the races.

To all, the Glen is almost here! I just got tickets in to the track and am in the car show again. We gathered free tasting tickets, for Finger Lakes Distilling and a Winery so far. Anyone coming early, e-mail me for tasting slips, or, see you at 2 Goats thurs. Mike Unger, see you at the track and at 2 Goats if you get the chance. Watkins, Watkins
