Watkins Glen

Home > Watkins Glen

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 this page are some of those images of a bygone racing era.

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.
