Watkins Glen Friday Notebook

Driving into Watkins Glen this morning had us thinking of the good old days of F1 in the '60s and '70s where the likes of McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus, Wolf, BRM, Williams, Hesketh, Shadow and the like screamed around this upstate NY track with drivers like Mario Andretti, Niki Lauda, James Hunt, Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Alan Jones, Gilles Villeneuve and the like……….The day dawned foggy but the sun has burnt most of that off and although the skies are a bit overcast, today should be mostly dry with a high of 77 degrees……Today is just practice for the IndyCars but the Firestone Indy Lights cars will qualify at 5 PM today…..We will have more for you throughout the day.
