Just got back from an early Fall weekend at Watkins Glen International Raceway – right at the lower end of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes – of course in Watkins Glen, NY.<\/p>\n

I was the guest of Donovan Motorsports, racing their three E-Type roadsters, numbers 61, 62, and 63.\u00a0 If you recall, we completely rebuilt the special aluminum bonnet for their #61 racer – twice – about 5 years ago.\u00a0 It was good to finally see our work in paint and back out on the track!<\/p>\n

If you have never gone to the September race, which is an historic reenactment\/tribute to\u00a0 the old races that took place right downtown, I must tell you that I HIGHLY recommend it!\u00a0 Not only are the cars themselves historic, but the entire feel of the weekend is like a little trip back in time, and I had an absolute BLAST!<\/p>\n

There are 90 photos included below – but there is MUCH MORE than just E-Type racing photos, so sit back and enjoy!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
