June 30, 1999 the MGCarClub went to Watkins Glenn Racetrack for the Trackmasters sponsored "KIDS DAY AT THE GLENN". The children from a local camp - 'Camp Good Days and Special Times' brought to the track and members from Trackmasters and the MGCARCLUB bring their sports and race cars and give the kids rides around the track.

Everyone enjoys the day. There is no passing allowed and speeds are kept reasonable - more than 55 mph, less than 155mph (joking).  Of course there was no rule on how fast you could get to cruising speed. There were about 50-60 cars and 4 busloads of kids. You picked up a rider, pulled onto the track and did 2-3 laps, pulled in and picked up another one. This went on for over an hour so you get a chance to see how well you car performs getting up to speed, slowing down, back up, etc., really pushing much differently than street driving for over an hour. I had no problems we the car except for  the start of a brake fad on the last couple laps.

When I pulled in to the pit to pick up a rider, the temp would rise up to my high mark, but as soon as I got moving again, it would drop right down to just above half again. Other than that, I'm very pleased. The Nokia tires are excellent, felt like glue on the track.

Here's a couple picks one of the members took - Coming out of the pit to the track feeder - 

It a real thrill to run across the same line the worlds best drivers have crossed -
