Watkins Glen Laps & Lunch
April 26 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Watkins Glen Laps & Lunch
Ever wanted to take your car around one of America’s most legendary road courses? Here’s your chance. Join your fellow Finger Lakes Region members for three laps behind the Pace Car at Watkins Glen International — and then stick around for a relaxed group lunch afterward. Come for the laps, come for the lunch, or come for both. Either way, we’d love to see you there.
The Laps
You’ll need to purchase your own track tickets — available at the gate day-of ($40), or grab them online now with a 10% discount for our group ($35). (You’ll be prompted to create an account with Ticketmaster to complete your purchase.)
Here’s what to know:
- Arrive at Gate 2 no later than 11:15 AM. You’ll need time to sign waiver forms before we roll. Track time begins promptly at noon — no exceptions.
- Once through Gate 2, take the first right into the staging area. If you’re first on-site, park at the top of the road. Everyone else lines up directly behind. We’ll stage here until staff lead us onto the track.
- Drivers must be 18+ with a valid driver’s license. Your vehicle must be currently registered and insured.
- We’ll drive three laps behind the Pace Car.
The Lunch
After the laps, we’ll head over to Kookalarocs Restaurant (107 11th Street, Watkins Glen) for a group lunch. Members pay their own tab — just show up hungry and ready to swap stories about your laps.
Please RSVP by April 20th 23rd so we can get an accurate head count.
For planning purposes –
Laps start at 11:15 arrival
Lunch starts at 1:15 at Kookalrocks
