Watkins Glen International is one of America's best known and well-loved tracks, what with its F1 history, the NASCAR races and a sports car heritage that's the envy of circuits the world over. The Eastern/Midwestern combo race weekend was unofficially dedicated to Cameron Argetsinger, the track founder who recently passed.
First race: Luca Orlandi edged Kim Kristian by just a couple of tenths, with Al Carter third. Brian Skinner set fastest race lap chasing Carter. Fifth was Robert Ecklin, followed by Ron Yarab and seventh-place Gary Visioli, up from 12th on the grid. Paul Subject, John Giddens and Gerry Foster rounded out the top 10.
Second race: Orlandi and Kristian were again the class of the field, finishing one-two, but this time Skinner edged Carter for third after a great battle. Subject snatched another P5, Yarab was sixth, followed by Ecklin, Giddens, Bill Oliver and Bob Gogerty. Orlandi set fastest race lap, too..<
