This is the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival. It happens on the friday of the vintage race weekend. These cars are selected by lottery to come down off the WGI track & participate in the re-enactment in the Village of Watkins Glen. The cars are parked for a few hours on Frankin St. (formerly the front straight of the original 6.6 mile road course on public roads in Watkins Glen). They are then taken on 2-3 pace laps, controlled(?) by WGI pace cars. The area that these pictures were taken are on the uphill section leading out of the town. Some of the drivers lag behind the pace car & BLAST up that hill. It is a great time. Google Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival & you will come up with alot of pictures & info, probably some video as well.

Great pics. That has to be quite a sight - seeing a Porsche 917 coming down the road (probably in 1s gear......).

It is, sometimes they are out of first & moving up through several gears. Some of these cars get up into the 60-70 mph range. Granted, not fast, but pretty impressive on public roads with us taking pictures just a few feet away!

I will be headed in that direction tomorrow. A cool German restaurant in Canandaigua "Rheinblick" is having their Oktoberfest this weekend & I am hoping to drive the 1600 to it. Weather & thermostat permitting!
