Anyone planing on going to opening day at Watkins Glen? The weather looks like it should be good… Last good day before possible snow next week. I plan on maping some streets for the cruise to the Grand Prix in July. You can pace-lap the track for $20 too. Nothing is set in stone, I just wanted to see who was interested. ---

I’m not sure, but I was thinking 10am. It’s a 2.5 hour drive but I want to hit some backroads on the way. ---

^ true. depending on what roads you decide on, it might be better to just rip down the thruway to avoid issues like that. ---

> [@cky89](#): > > I think that’d defeat the purpose of what Josh is trying to map out. i’m just sayin that the cruise is all good. but if you end up going through a shitload of little 30mph towns it sucks balls. which trying to avoid them, may turn out to be a 3.5 hour trip or more… EDIT - I’d take the thruway, then maybe get off at the Canandaigua exit and go the scenic route from there. ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > so much for waiting to post this Shouldn’t you be sleeping? lol But yeah, basic idea was to map out a route beforehand and see if it was any good. Maybe make a sceanic stop. Some of the roads down there are awesome. We’d obviously avoid small towns as much as possible. ---
