 Organized Activity Options

 FRIDAY

  • Watkins Glen Track Experience – Early Bird Bonus - Meet at the Watkins Glen track at 11:00 for 3 laps of the famous 3.4 miles course for $25.00 purchased at the gate. Everyone lines up behind the escort pace car to be led around the track at a pretty good clip but at your own speed, no passing allowed.  Afterward we can grab lunch and drive the original Grand Prix course on public roads.
  • Friday Night Meet & Greet – 6:30-7:30 PM – selection of hot/cold appetizers included; cash bar.

 SATURDAY

  • Road Trip - For those of us who crave a good drive here is a 130 mile tour of the surrounding countryside including views of a couple of the Finger Lakes. The local roads keep up a good pace, but we slow periodically to get a good view of scenic villages in the area. (approximately 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM)
  • Drive to Seneca Lake - This is a short run north to the Finger Lakes with lunch at a winery. The roads will offer great driving with good views of the countryside and the lakes. When we return to Corning there will be time to relax, stroll and shop the historic commercial district. (approximately 10 AM to 3 PM)
  • Culture Tour - Departing at about 9 AM drive directly to the Glenn Curtiss Museum (http://www.glennhcurtissmuseum.org/)  and tour this fascinating collection for about 1.5 hours then depart for lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch depart for Finger Lakes Boating Museum (http://www.flbm.org/) for about 1 hour visit. After the boating museum make the roughly half hour drive on back roads to the Radisson with perhaps a stop at Keuka Creamery for ice cream. (approximately 9 AM to 2 PM).

 SUNDAY

  • Homeward Bound South – Enjoy your return home with a run that leads more toward Philly, a route that will lead toward Bloomsburg for a lunch stop. You can jump off after lunch to pick up I 80 if you need to. The main theme will be country cruising.

MiataFest II is limited to the first 80 registrants. No refunds of registration fees after July 10.
