Deluke et all;

While I have not talked to anyone in person here is info I got from websites about driving your own car on the tracks.

Lime Rock:

Q: Can I drive my own car on the track?

A: That’d be awesome! But unfortunately, it’s just not possible unless you join a car club or if you have a certified racing license you can participate in a test and tune day at the track.

However Watkins Glen offers the following:

Thunder Road Tours

Give yourself a taste of what road racing is all about through our tour program, Thunder Road Tours. What is a lap around New York's Thunder Road really like? How about this:

Follow the pace car down the frontstretch into the Ninety, twist, climb and claw your way up through the Esses and onto the backstretch, braking as you hit the Inner Loop and navigate the Carousel turn, then drop off the face of the earth into the depths of the turn-heavy Boot, climb your way out into Turn Ten, regain your senses and make a run for the finish line.

If you are up for the challenge, then make your way to Watkins Glen International and take a tour in your own vehicle. From May through October, The Glen will be offering tours that include three paced laps beginning at noon each day for just $25. Tour dates are subject to track availability and schedule and motorcycles are prohibited.

To get your tour pass, stop by "The Shop", the official retail store of Watkins Glen International, located at 2 North Franklin St. in the village of Watkins Glen. Or, for more information, give them a call at 607-535-2338.
