I wondering if there is any interest in taking some of the wagons for a drag racing session here in upstate NY. Empire Dragway is located near Geneseo NY on rt 36, south of rt 20.

Friday nights feature a test and tune night, no official racing card, but plenty of time to make runs down the strip. You may recall there will be many people going to Watkins glen on Friday afternoon. Friday evening could be drag racing as part of the automotive adventure. (weather dependent)

Here's the link..

In case anyone is wondering, the drag strip is 75 miles or 1hr 40 minutes away from the race track.

The hotel is almost due north from watkinf glen. You could travel straight north on Rt 14 and be in Geneva, the motel is a few miles east from Geneva.

The drag race track unfortunately is about 40 miles west, near Geneseo NY

If you google up Empire dragw3ay, or it's old name, NYIRP, ( New York International Raceway Park) you'll be able to see it.
The route I would take is west from Watkins Glen track, pick up Rt 226 to I86west to I390 north near Geneseo. The track is just north of the village of Leicester NY, off Rt 36 on New Rd , north of rt 20A.
It os not what I would call close to the motel. As mentioned, it's bit of a drive .

Due to a lack of positive responses for drag racing on Friday night, I'll decided to cancel this portion of activities.


Please sign up for the dinner at Mac's Diner as an alternative.
