North America is fortunate to have a road course like Watkins Glen International. The facility is the continuation of a road racing tradition dating back to 1948, when sports cars raced on the 6.6-mile course through the village of Watkins Glen. The permanent road course was built in 1956 and has been continually upgraded since that time, now hosting NASCAR, GrandAm, HSR, SVRA and PCA events. The Zone 1 48 Hours at Watkins Glen is not only a driving event, one of the longest running Driver Ed. events in PCA. It is also a social event, bringing together members from the Zone and beyond.

The driver education event will consist of at least 90 minutes per day at speed for each entrant on Saturday and Sunday. Being the 30^th Anniversary event, all entrants will receive a commemorative shirt. The annual Saturday night dinner will be held at the Glen Club at the foot of the “esses.” This year’s event will include instructor training on Friday using the new national instructor-training program. The cost of the event is $200 per entrant (plus $25 per person for the Saturday dinner). To register for the event, download an event application from the Zone 1 website ( http://zone1.pca.org ). Registration opens on April 15 (postmarked) and closes May 15. It is sure to be a sell-out again this year being the 30^th Anniversary event!
