The historic building known as "The Glen Club" located on the inside of the esses was burnt down in a fire the other day. Is it worth adding this to the article, and if so, feel free to do it. Here's a source should you need it.

Should the Formula 1 racetrack infobox used here be replaced by the Nascar racetrack infobox used elsewhere? This track isn't used for F1 racing anymore, so it might make sense to convert it into the Nascar infobox style. Most of the info stays the same, but it should probably be done. Anyone disagree? -- Mtjaws 21:49, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Everywhere else outside of wikipedia I see the turn numbering ending in 11, with the "bus stop" (added in 1990) not counted as a turn (for historical reasons). eg http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Watkins_Glen#Track_Map. Also see http://www.theglen.com/documents/wgi_1_introduction.pdf the final two turns are named "Turn 10" and "Turn 11".
does anyone have a reason why the picture assigns number 5 to the bus stop?
Watkins Glen was used for motorcycle racing, run by the America Association o Motorcycle Road Racing (AAMRR) at least once in the mid 60s. Why is this not mentioned? Jpg1954 ( talk) 00:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
In the US Grand Prix section there is a reference to "Tex" Hopkins
waving the national flag to start the race.
Should be, in the US, the green flag, no? Kcrossle ( talk) 18:49, 6 October 2012 (UTC)kcrossle
