[DeeAnn Hopings]

Major motorsports fan since about 1956-57. Name a significant series that runs here in the US and I’ve probably seen it somewhere. I’m primarily an open wheel fan, but I also follow sports cars, drag racing and stock cars. I have a collection of car and motorsports books; many of which have been autographed by authors, drivers and team principals. Before I retired 5 years ago, I lived in Corning, NY. I would tell people with great delight that my kitchen was 17 miles from The Glen. I lived there for 23 years and visited the track for many events. If you ever get to the Village of Watkins Glen I strongly suggest that you visit the International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC). In effect it is a research library with books, newspaper clippings, race programs, memorabilia, videos, etc. Usually they will have a vintage race car on display in the building. GREAT Place!
