Eric Davison Tribute

September 12, 2022 By pete

We have learned from his old friend Dale Powers that Eric Davison passed away on August 25th, 2022. Eric wrote many things for VeloceToday, but none so poignant as his first hand reports of the early years of Watkins Glen. I cannot think of a better tribute to him than to re-publish the first in a seven part series of his memoirs his father and Watkins Glen from the VeloceToday Archives, October 2011. —Editor, Pete Vack

By Eric Davison

The street years at Watkins Glen were magic to me. In our house the trip to “the Glen” was a yearly pilgrimage. The excitement, the fun and the life experiences that I enjoyed with my father are never to be forgotten.
