"The Glen" course was opened in 1956 to host auto races previously held on public roads in and around the village of Dix. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971.
The first races in Watkins Glen took place in 1948 on a 6.6-mile course over local public roads. For the first few years, the races passed through the heart of the town with spectators lining the sidewalks. However, after a car left the road in the 1952 race, killing one and injuring several others, the race was moved to a new location on a wooded hilltop southwest of town. The original 6.6-mile course is listed in the New York State Register and National Register of Historic Places as the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Course.
Pick your favorite five.
