It's not an easy group to keep engaged but Bob did a great job! Brookwood Secure Center, Claverack, NY The “Survive the Drive” program was outstanding! I can’t express my appreciation enough. Bob Green is a skilled and knowledgeable speaker who was able to engage our often resistive students and provide them with information that had a powerful impact on their outlook towards driving. “Survive the Drive’ warns teens against distractions” Green’s rapid-fire presentation combines basic anatomy and personal anecdotes… Students may have learned something from Green. After the presentation… a student who got her driver’s license in December, said, "I won’t text while driving anymore." Amherst Regional High School, MA I would like to THANK YOU for all of your hard work and dedication to the safety of Massachusetts youth… the work you do is very inspiring. RHAM High School, CT Your dynamic, high energy talk had a positive effect on the students. They talked about it throughout the day.

He had a ton of energy, was wonderful with the students and I was very excited that he included information about texting while driving and drunk driving this year.

This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Racing World Mourns Passing of Peter
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Dan DeRusha, Executive Director International Motor Racing Research Center (607)535-9044 [email protected] racingarchives.org Racing World Mourns Passing of Peter Argetsinger, IMRRC Leader, Champion Racer, Driving Coach WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (Feb. 11, 2020) – Peter O. Argetsinger, a member of the International Motor Racing Research Center’s Governing Council and an international racing champion and respected driving coach, is being remembered across the industry for his talents and joy in the sport. Argetsinger died Thursday, Feb. 6, at his home in Watkins Glen after a fight against cancer. He was 69. As the son of Jean and Cameron Argetsinger, who were the founders and organizers of the first races in Watkins Glen, motorsport was an important part of his life from early on. Maintaining a home in Watkins Glen, as well as Sebring, Fla., Argetsinger was involved with the IMRRC since it opened. He joined the Governing Council in 2018. "Peter was an incredible racer and beloved racing instructor, but most importantly he was a good friend,” John Saunders, senior advisor at NASCAR and chairman of the IMRRC Governing Council, said. “The world of motorsports is richer for his dedication to developing young talent and growing the sport’s future. Pete will always be considered family to the International Motor Racing Research Center, an organization to which he devoted much wisdom and guidance.” Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup, also a member of the IMRRC’s Governing Council, noted Argetsinger’s dedication to the sport and Watkins Glen. “Peter was an important part in carrying on the legacy and tradition that his father, Cameron, and family started here in Watkins Glen,” Printup said.

  • Gene Mason Racing 74 Maple Street for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Stoneham, Mass
    CONTACT: Rick Foltz Gene Mason Racing 74 Maple Street FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Stoneham, Mass. Skip Barber is the biggest threat to the Hogan Racing domina• tion of the L&M Continental Series. Skip is the number-one driver for the Gene Mason Racing Team. He will be piloting the radically changed March 711. The new car has been completely re-engineered from chassis design to cooling system by the capable engineers at the Gene Mason shop located in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Skip is the type of driver everyone respects, and is consid• ered by many to be one of the best single-seat drivers in North America. He has a determined and confident attitude about himself and the people he works with. It is this strong character, coupled with a keen mental awareness, that first excelled Skip through Har• vard University, and then, to many individual achievements in amateur racing. In 196 7 Skip placed higher than any other independent in the Can-Am series standings. He won the National Championship for Formula Ford in 1969. The Formula B championship was added to his credit in 1970 as well as successfully defending his Formula Ford title. Starting at the back of the field in the Formula Ford race, he outdrove the eighteen best drivers in the country to become the only National Champion in two classes that year. In 1971 Skip cam• paigned Gene Mason's March in the Grand Prix Circuit. This year the L&M Continental Championship is their goal. GENE MASON^ OWNER The tall handsome fellow you see in the pits holding Skip Barber's lap board is Gene Mason, the formidable Philadelphia attorney.
