honestly i heard watkins glen is really really unsafe, ie... armco around the whole track. if you want to go to the track Pocono, is honestly the closest track to nyc. about 1.5 hours depending on how you drive. Check out http://www.teampromotion.com

Look at divein6 sig pics. The one on the left has Armco barriers (what the VIR sign is attached to). It's is that nasty metal barrier you see on the side of the road. OK on the inside of a turn, but you wouldn't want to slide into it! graemlins/crying.gif

That armco at VIR is a ways off the track and I think there is a tire wall before it too, but that's about all for armco there. VIR is one of the better places for bikes to ride on.

As for Watkins Glen there is armco everywhere, not a friendly place to ride.
