'Watkins Glen International' by Michael Argetsinger and Bill Green

This 127-page book contains hundreds of historic photographs of the Watkins Glen racetrack over its evolution from a road course through the village in 1948 to the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide series season.

The book was released in early May, 2013 and will have its official launch at the International Motor Racing Research Center at 610 South Decatur Street in Watkins Glen on Saturday, May 18.  The launch will feature a talk by the authors that includes a slideshow of photos they used in the book, many of which come from their own private collections. 

Mr. Argetsinger and Mr. Green are uniquely qualified to write the history of the track.  Argetsinger's father, Cameron, is credited with initiating the 1948 road race, and Green attended that race as a boy and has since served as race historian, now working at the International Motor Racing Research Center.
