    pics from the October Fest at Watkins Glen - Rain paradise

    I was there for 3 days and the freaking rain ruined it, miserable weather and horrible conditions at the track. Never the less, few brave souls made it to the race track and even raced during the rain/fog (which is insanity at the Glen). Met few members, saw bunch of other members... Hope the weather will be better next year.

    Enjoy the pics

    Fri afternoon, few members from s14.net trying to stay dry



    their cars are getting wet





    prototype ACS C/F mirrors that will be available for sale soon





    Warsteiner replica (not mine)



    TC Klein cars:















    vendors inside the garage area





    Turner Motorsport's car





    another warsteiner replica (not mine)





    2002 Turbo





    few pics from the parking lot









    beautiful view



    more to come

    love the valve covers





    nice license plate



    yet another Warsteiner replica (there were 3 in total), also not mine











    Kish's car broke down





    very cool pace car

                  Vlad: Were you in your mini cooper?

                  Because I saw you driving around taking pictures in the rain. You snapped a photo of me I think, next to the beat up green 2002 and the blue E34 M5..

                      Watkins Glen view from the above (very cool poster)





                      this waterfall is located on a private property, imagine a view like this from your backyard?



                      cool poster at the hotel lobby



                      Glenora Winery





                      fresh grapes

                        That E30M3 poster was from last years Oktoberfest, since it was the anniversary of the E30M3. It was a theme poster.

                        A guy from my chapter won the original in the raffle for it last year...

                          #28 was originally 002, but who really cares.

                              that's so funny, I could not see anything thru the lens because of the rain and didn't want the camera to get wet and then I thought, why is this dude blocking the cars ...LOL



                              yeah, drove the Cooper to WG, after I saw the forcast I didn't want to drive 700 miles round trip in the rain in the vert or the DTM replica and listen to the complaints of my passenger about how loud the cars are





                              just spent 2.5 hours cleaning it after the roadtrip
