What Are All Those Stones in Watkins Glen?

What are all those stones in Watkins Glen?  Find out Saturday at a free presentation about the historic Walk of Fame at Watkins Glen presented by Bill Green, Jim Scaptura, and Rick Hughey.

Racing Research Center Historian Bill Green will lead a discussion about the Watkins Glen Drivers Walk of Fame to kick off the 2016 Center Conversations speaker series on Saturday.

The talk begins at 1pm and is free and open to all.  The Racing Research Center is at 610 S. Decatur St. in Watkins Glen. The Watkins Glen Drivers Walk of Fame was established in 1993 to honor the great drivers who have competed on the Glen's world famous circuit since 1948.

Each year, the committee adds several new markers to the Walk of Fame. Green, Scaptura and Hughey will discuss the origins of the Walk of Fame and highlight some of the drivers honored with a granite block in the Walk.

To be considered for induction into the Walk of Fame, a driver must have driven in competition at one of the four race courses used at the Glen since 1948. Today,116 men and women are honored in the Walk of Fame.

Most honorees are inducted at the annual Grand Prix Festival, the first Friday after Labor Day in September. To find out more about the talk and the Racing Research Center, go here.
