This will come in handy when trying to navigate the track on race day! See you on the track! Download (PDF, 724KB) Back Home Map of the original Watkins Glen Grand Prix Circuit, 1948 - 1952 White House S, Collier Monument, Schoolhouse Corner, Cornett Stone Bridge, Archie Smith Straight Railroad Corner, Monk's Corner, Big Bend, Milliken Corner, Start/Finish Line Original Circuit: 1948 - 1952 Self Guided Tour American Highway Race was revived in Watkins Glen, New Jersey on October 2, 1948, the first road race run since World War II. The 6.6-mile chain ran through the streets of the village, starting and ending in front of Schuyler County Court House. Permits from six government agencies are required for the closure of public roads for this event; State, County, Village, Reading, Dix and the New York State Parks Commission. It was also necessary to have permission from the New York Central Railroad to stop the trains during the race as the course crossed the tracks. The track was used for races from 1948 to 1952. Unchanged, it could be toured today as a public road. For those who were here in the early days, it is a sentimental journey. For those who have never been here, this is a lesson in the history of motorsport. The attractions listed below are also on our map of the original circuit. 1988: The Watkins-Montour Rotary Club set the yellow brick post at the start/finish line of the original circuit in the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the first race of the Watkins Glen Grand Prix. 1989: The Watkins Glen Grand Prix Historical Committee, working with the village, the New York State Parks Commission and Watkins Glen International, develops three historical racing information panels on the Start/Finish line. 1990: Courtesy of the Glen Region Sports Automobile Club of America and in collaboration with the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Historical Committee, eight historical signs are placed on the original 6.6 mile circuit. Signs closely duplicate the original signs placed there in the 1950s by the New York State Highway Department's Watkins Glen Grand Prix Historical Committee is to preserve the history of road racing at Watkins Glen, in particular the history of the 6.6 mile circuit and its connection to the village of Watkins Glen. Starting from the start/finish line on Franklin Street, drive 1/4 mile to Old Cornyn Hill Road, turn right, continue the steep hill and carry right on Townsend Road across the White House S to the school house corner, take a sharp right down to cross the Cornet Stone Bridge, and continue to follow Serpentine Road into the corner of Archie Smith, turn right down the rail line, along the rail line leads to a mile long descent into the village, and turn right onto Franklin Street, back to the Start/Finish Line. 1.3 km from the start/finish line. It marks a series of mountain curves near where the White House stood in 1948. The house no longer exists. The name takes a poetic license from the White House corner on the LeMans track in France. 2.3 km from the start/finish line. It is a huge native granite boulder on which the bronze plaque bears legend: Samuel Carner Collier 1912-1950 crashed here, leading the Grand Prix 1950 Miles Collier 1914 -1954 Grand Prix winner 1949 is 2.7 miles from the start/finish line at the beginning of the dramatic, dramatic descent into state park. On a hill on the southwest corner is a structure that was once one room of the school in 1948. Reconstructed, is now a private residence. 3 km from the start/finish line. In the 1948 Junior Prize, Denver Cornett flipped his MG into a creek. He turned it over, borrowed the details from his fellow competitors and was ready to race at the Grand Prix, finishing 7th. 3.7 km from the start/finish line. The mould house on the corner belonged to a dairy farmer named Archie Smith. 4 miles from the start/finish line. It was a dirt road in 1948. Behind the trees that lined the road on the south side is a sheer cliff directly to the bottom of the Glen. The cars were travelling at top speed in this area, braking the impact on the railway tracks, often leading to an airborne vehicle. 5 miles from the start/finish line, starting the descent into the village. It gets its romantic name because it borders on land owned by franciscan brothers. 5.4 km from the start/finish line. It offers spectacular views of Lake Seneca Harbour. It offered an exciting experience for the driver with speeds exceeding the maximum on the descent. 6.2 km from the start/finish line. It was here, in 1948, that William Milliken of Buffalo flipped his Bugatti. He crawled out, unscathed, to the applause of the spectators across the street. - On Franklin Street across the street from the courthouse is a marker showing the actual location of those who first start at 48 - 52.

    VARAC’s FORMULA CLASSIC CLASSIFICATIONS It is VARAC’s goal to develop an open wheel, Formula Classic, division which is strong enough to support its own grid at any VARAC attended racing event. Formula Classic grid at VARAC’s 40th Anniversary races at Shannonville, 2019 VARAC has three basic open wheel classifications which are aligned to reflect the Club’s sports car classes. They are: Formula Historic, Formula 70 and Formula 90. FORMULA HISTORIC: All Formula cars built before January 1, 1973. These are generally cars built before the evolution of slick tires and aerodynamic appendages. They include everything from Vintage Formula Juniors and 500cc Formula Threes to Formula 5000 cars. The most likely cars of this era (besides those described below) are Formula Bs, the most popular of these being the Brabham BT29. FORMULA 70: All Formula cars built from 1973 to 1989. FORMULA 90: All Formula cars built from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. Many F70 and F90 cars are frequently referred to as “wings and slicks” cars, for obvious reasons. During the ‘70s and ‘80s, treadless tires and aerodynamic devises appeared on many Formula cars. Not all Formula car classes were permitted to use slick tires and/or wings, however, for example, Formula Vee and Formula Ford. Usually cost saving was the motive for restricting slicks and/or wings. In VARAC, for now at least, Formula cars are separated into the three general classifications. There are five exceptions to this rule, which are outlined below. Obviously, there are a myriad of Formula car classes and amateur and professional series which raced prior to 2000.

  • A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes
    A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes This is meant as a general guide only. For specific requirements refer to the ICSCC Competition Regulations. Sports car racing has the most variety of cars of any type of racing. The cars can be broken down into four basic types: Production cars, GT cars, Formula cars, and Sports Racers. Within each of these types, there are numerous classifications: 53 in all. These classifications are divided into six race groups, and all cars assigned to a particular group will run all practice, qualifying, and races together. Any race has several classes of cars running, so there will be races within the race. This can lead to some confusion as to what is happening on track! This guide will help you sort it out... Production Cars The Production cars are the closest to street vehicles, and many are driven to and from the track. There are very limited modifications permitted. The drive train is for all practical purposes stock. The interior can be stripped to reduce fire hazard, and basic safety equipment is added, such as a roll cage and fire suppression systems. Production cars are divided into ten classes designated ‘A’ through ‘J’. Markings on the car will tell you which class they are in: AP, BP, CP, and so on. The cars are placed into a class by using the ratio of horsepower to curb weight as a guide. Other factors will affect the classification of a particular car such as type of tires being used. As you watch the Production cars you will notice that certain models of cars domi- nate in a given class.
