I think those guys typically meet at the thruway Warners Service Plaza between exits 39 & 40. Then meet up with the Buffalo group at the Mobil off Exit 42 Geneva. Someone should get on here by tomorrow with times and places. I'm coming from Ithaca area so I'm likely solo. We need to be at Gate 2 by 11:15 at the latest.

We're down for noon to go around the track. My car was broke in after the 260 mile marker.

Sooo, needless to say,...I'm out. Luckily I had track insurance, so we'll see what the insurance adjuster says in the next couple days.

Costs 180-200 for 3 days.
So to make it worth your wild you have to go big and totally wreck the car.
I know the spot on the track, it's narrow. Did you hurt the Armco?
This is my worst nightmare. Cars broke and I have to deal with my wife! LOL

I have exercised track insurance and everything worked out well for me. $10,000 in damage after another car spun in Turn 1 at Watkins Glen and gathered me up in the process as I was exiting the pits. That was with my 13 1LE. The deductibles are high but it doesn't take a lot of damage to use up the deductible and get into the insurance coverage. My 1LE was driven home and the insurance appraiser still came up with $10,000. FYI, it actually cost less to fix. PM me an I will give you my cell number and I can give you more info on how this worked for me. The appraiser was very generous with his write-up.
If you fired the airbags your going to have a pretty good bill. If you took a solid hit on the wheel you also need to ensure that nothing in the front suspension has been tweaked or cracked.

Ok, I'm getting the insurance. I was just discussing it with my wife lol.

Thank you, The appraiser is supposed to look at the car today. I'll let you guys know how it goes. The only real concern the shop had was that the insurance company may try and just have the rims repaired other than replaced.. I'm hoping they will replace, so I can buy the damaged ones back and be half way to having a track set. Lol
Thats me trying to find the sunny side of a crappy situation.
