Just out of curiosity, do you all think that there will be a strong presense of Alfas at this event for a long time?
We had a great time at the 2005 event, and now have a car that could run there someday. I want to make sure we make it....

Do the Friday festivities include driving the track, as your pictures showed last year? I'm afraid that I can only make Sat & Sun.
I went on to the Glen website, are there going to be F1 cars from the 60's & 70's running at all?

Thank you LM, I knew if anyone here would have his finger on the pulse of this event, it would be you. Thanks again.

Well, my name is Derek Bell, but folks just call me Jim. I'll trade you my picture for a weekend's worth of free draft microbrews at the Seneca Lodge.

Hi Derek,
I remember you there from last year. Didn't take a picture of you though, not really a big fan. But I remember what YOU look like so if you remember, you said this year the beers are on you

Oh, sure --- I clearly remember ALL my non-fans because there aren't many of them. Don't remember the part about me paying for the beers though. Best find a cool beverage and think about this some more.
