On August 19-20, seven Merkur owners from Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, Connecticut, Georgia and New Jersey joined the Shelby Mustang Club of Rochester for their Driving School at Watkins Glen International in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.  Everybody enjoyed the experience and had a safe and adrenalin-enriched few days.

This year we were lucky enough to have Craig Madsen's friend Mark Dutkevitch who is a professional photographer.  Mark's photography skills are evident in some of the pictures below.  All pictures are resized for display over the Internet.  This is a compromise between download time, varying resolutions of computer monitors and display quality.  If anyone wants the original high quality images for reprints, my son Andrew is making CDs which will be mailed out this week.  All of the images are on the CD (below is only a subset of the best ones).  With this CD you can go to a lot of photo shops and get high quality prints, mugs, shirts etc.

Enjoy the pictures and stay tuned for the next track event.  Discussions and planning for this are being conducted on the Merkur Forum.  Let us hear what you want!

This is the 'real' Glen.  A deep ravine, easily walked from the hotel, which has been a tourist attraction since the 1800s.
