You know the old adage, never put anything in an email that you don't want the whole world to see.
So I am forwarding this to the group without permission because it was so well written.
And because it was written by one who definitely knows how to keep up with the car ahead of him.
Casey,
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know how else to describe it. My wife and I have been doing this for 13 years (we live in Breesport, just outside of Horseheads) and this one was perhaps the sweetest one so far. Glenora Run (Route A, created by Terrie Sauter) was awesome. The sponsorship of our run by Glenora Wine Cellars and Welliver is awesome. They are a class act, from breakfast buffet to a parade lap at the Schuyler Hospital to lunch at Hidden Valley! The coordination between city, village, county and state is incredible. The fact that they have the guts to shut down Franklin Street and surrounding territory is to be highly commended. The crowd was huge, respectful, responsive and encouraging. I talked to a man who comes down from Montreal, who had left there at 5 am. He brings his whole family, including his Dad who raced in the 60’s) and they were camping at the track, they’d started coming 10 years ago, and he said, “Do you realize, this is the only thing like it on the east coast?”. Yeah! The only thing like it on the east coast and it’s happening in Watkins Glen.
So, thank you Casey and all the workers. Words simply fall short of trying to express my gratitude and thanks for being able to participate in a very, very special event.
Thank you to all the elected and non-elected officials, the police, sheriffs, troopers, first responders, EMT’s and hundreds of volunteers who put on such a unique event. And thanks to WGI, the SVRA, the drivers, teams and cars that really put the cherry on top!!!
Sincerely,
