Proceeds of Watkins Glen F1 book to benefit IMRRC
Award-winning historian Michael Argetsinger’s latest book, “Formula One at Watkins Glen: 20 Years of the United States Grand Prix, 1961-1980”, is a special limited edition book and advance orders are now being taken at only $49.95 each. It’s a great price for this book with over 250 color and B&W images. But even more important, Michael and his publisher, David Bull, are donating ALL the proceeds from the sale of the book to the International Motor Racing and Research Center in Watkins Glen.
Orders can be telephoned to the Center at (607) 535-9044 and ask for Jon McKnight.

To help kick this off, the first VeloceToday reader to purchase four raffle tickets will win a copy of Matt Stone’s book McQueen’s Machines: The Cars and Bikes of a Hollywood Icon.
