Some friends and I are planning on going to Watkins Glen for a weekend. I know theres a wine festival going on in the next few weeks.

What else is good to do in Watkins?

If it was me I would go see a race at either Black Rock Speedway, Chemung Speedrome, Shangri-La II Speedway or maybe make the drive to Five Mile Point speedway. Then again it seems most people on here have the “they only turn left” stigma so it might not be something you would enjoy.
