The U.S. Vintage Grand Prix was held September 10-13th, 2009 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York.<\/p>\n
Sanctioned by SVRA, the U.S. Vintage Grand Prix is perennially one of the largest vintage car races in the country and this year was no exception, with more than 400 entrants taking to the 3.4 mile road circuit.<\/p>\n
In addition to the featured marque Morgan, there was a special tribute to the racing career of Lyn St. James.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that we are yet again one the largest vintage racing events in the country, is a testament to the drawing power our historic road course,\u201d said Michael Printup, president of Watkins Glen International. \u201cThere is no better place to celebrate the history of racing and the career of Lyn St. James than in this great town of Watkins Glen, and no better time of year than to honor these cars than in the fall in Upstate New York.\u201d<\/p>\n
The weekend also included the Grand Prix Festival presented by the Chemung Canal Trust Co. in the village of Watkins Glen on Friday, September 11th where Lyn St. James was inducted into the \u201cWalk of Fame\u201d by the Village of Watkins Glen and served as the Grand Marshal for the reenactment.<\/p>\n
