Watkins Glen Race Photos
From 1973 through 1981 I attended a number of races at the historic Watkins Glen Race Course in the beautiful Fingers Lakes region of New York State. I was lucky enough to attend a couple of Formula One races when they were still being run at the Glen and saw races featuring legendary drivers...Mario Andretti, Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittpaldi, James Hunt, Al Unser, Jody Scheckter, Clay Regazzoni, and others. I was also present for a couple of the Can Am series races and SCCA F5000 races. I shot many rolls of film at these races at the Glen and what follows on these pages are some of those images of a bygone racing era. 
Most photos seen on these pages are offered for sale on my e-commerce web site, Vintage Rock and Roll Photos.com on this page link..

Americo Teixeira Jr., a Brazilian Motorsport Journalist and editor of the Website Diario Motorsport requested the use of some of my photos of the 1975 U.S. Grand Prix for an article and I consented. His informative article is at this link, my thanks to Americo.

I just successfully completed a one day Formula 2000 Day Course at the beautiful Circuit Mont Tremblant in Quebec. I'm by no means a natural talent who missed his calling but it sure was a rush motoring around the course in those cars. If you want to treat yourself to a opportunity to drive a Formula 1 style car around a world class race course, sign up for a one day course. The instructors and crew are patient and helpful and make the experience a pleasant and rewarding one.

  



I'm proud to announce that 31 photos I took of races at Watkins Glen Race Course from 1973 to 1981 were on display at The Saratoga Automobile Museum in the Seth Rosner Gallery from November 2009 through May 2010 as part of their racing in New York Series.


My deepest thanks to Brendan Salls, Museum Art Director who encouraged me when I approached him out of the blue in June with some of my photos of racing at the Glen.
