U.S. Vintage Grand Prix Wakins Glen 2011 – Results and Photos

September 12, 2011 by Michael DiPleco 7 Comments

The U.S. Vintage Grand Prix 2011 was held September 8-11 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York.

Sanctioned by SVRA, the U.S. Vintage Grand Prix is historically one of the largest vintage car races in the States. While the 2011 edition was plagued by wet weather, a field of more than 300 entrants took to the 3.4 mile, 11-turn Watkins Glen International road circuit. In addition to the featured marque Nissan / Datsun, the historic race weekend included the downtown festival and re-enactment on the original 1948 race course, Collier Cup Race and special tribute to MGs.

Similar to the 2010 races, photographer Michael DiPleco also documented the racing action from the U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen with the following 225+ images that show the strong field at the Glen.
