2024 Classic Motorsports Empire State Tour: Day 3 recap

Photography by Chris Tropea

Get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and explore New York’s unique Finger Lakes region from behind the wheel of your favorite car? That’s the idea behind our inaugural Classic Motorsports Empire State Tour, taking place this week July 14-19.

The third day of our tour, July 17, started off by first stopping at Ithaca Falls before heading into the town of Corning for the world-famous Corning Museum of Glass.

Here, participants got to experience the history and science of glassmaking with exhibits and live demonstrations. (Of course, the gift shop full of works by the museum’s in-house artisans, was a must-visit before leaving.)

Today’s lunch took place at the museum, which offered just about everything: pizza, soup, and salad, plus a coffee bar and a noodle bar.

Following lunch, tour guests were free to enjoy the rest of their day as they saw fit–whether that meant spending more time at the Corning Museum of Glass or going out to explore the local area.

Likewise, participants were also free to choose their own dinner option before heading back to the Hotel Ithaca for the night.

This brings back a lot of memories for me. I spent some time in the Southern Tier visiting family. My first on-track experience  was at Watkins Glen, in a base Neon that shouldn't have been going that fast. It looks like everyone is having a blast.
