After the excitement of Friday's Grand Prix Festival, you are invited to a very
special Center Conversation event at the International Motor Racing Research
Center on Saturday, September 7 from 1-3PM. Glen Moore is a noted MG
Historian, Enthusiast, Restorer, Writer, Racer and Owner of the Bob Fergus
MGTD that competed in the 1952 Queen Catherine Cup race here at The Glen.
Glen will offer a fascinating commentary on both the manufacturing and racing
heritage of the car we honor as our featured marque at the Festival.
Noted local artist and race enthusiast, Bob Gillespie will share the dais as he
introduces his new book "One Track Mind" to the public during Festival weekend.
The book will feature 95 paintings, 25 drawings, and 4 murals that will chronicle
more than 50 years of Bob's amazing and evocative racing artwork.
Attendees should first check in at the International Motor Racing Research Center at 610 S. Decatur Street, Watkins Glen. The program will be held at the Elementary School Auditorium which is a short walk across the parking lot. After the formal program, both gentlemen will return to the Research Center.
Glen to speak more about MG history and the Fergus car which will be on display,
and Bob to sell and autograph copies of "One Track Mind".
Make your Festival weekend more complete by joining us for this great program.
Admission is free. For more information, call the IMRRC at (607) 535-9044.
