In 1956, the races were moved to one of the first purpose-built road racing circuits in America. Over the years, Watkins Glen International has been transformed into a smooth, 11-turn, 3.4-mile high-speed road course, with intriguing corners, multiple elevation changes and a long, fast front straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please join SVRA for a fun, fast and exciting race weekend.
