Not only was the weather hot, the competition at the Sahlen’s 6 Hours of the Glen was just as hot, or hotter. It was an outstanding race, in all classes for the entire 6 hours.
The overall winning “Red Dragon” ORECA was a fan favorite. Ford once again won a very tight GTLM contest, and BMW took victory in the GTD class.
The following photo album captures some of the color and excitement of the IMSA race at Watkins Glen.
