<p>OK, full disclosure: the luckiest I got at Watkins Glen was after
the '68 USGP. I was hanging out by the gate to the Kendall Tech
Center where the cars were kept.</p>
<p>A nicely dressed couple came out and asked me if I'd like to see
the cars. They handed my their pass and in I went. On the way in I
helped a couple guys, crewmen, carry in some equipment. They were
crew for Jackie Stewart, who had just won! They were British and
friendly and we chatted for a bit. Then in walked three guys with
a huge champagne bottle. It was Stewart, Ken Terrell, and Denny
Hulme. I was impressed! Stewart passed the bubbly to the crewman,
who in turn asked me if I'd like a sip. Of course I took a sip.
Wow! Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Didn't
have a camera with me, but got all their autographs. Great
memories.</p>
<p>The next summer, I met Oscar Koveleski, and it got more
interesting from there. I met a whole bunch of other people after
that.<br clear="none">

<p>What, you think I can make this stuff up? Watkins Glen is Mecca
to me. Enjoy it.</p>
<p>At the '68 USGP, I swore that someday I'd race there. It took 39
years, but in 2007 I did just that, at the Vintage GP. How's that
for hanging in there?<br clear="none">

<div>The camping crowd at Watkins Glen is legendary.
They've been known to have a drink or twenty. One year
their bonfire included somebody's car. As racers, we
were treated like celebrities when we would visit them
at night. But quite frankly we could not keep up with
them. I still have one of their 'Horny Heathen' decals
somewhere.</div>

<div>I'm not surprised you had good luck there. Was she
conscious?</div>

<div>If some of you are camping at the track, the
showers and rest room facilities are very good.
As opposed to the first time I went there in
1968.........</div>
<div>I disagree with Bill about the Rent-A Wife. I
had good luck there........!!!</div>
