      I was hoping there would be a race at Watkins Glen International that weekend.

        I'm originally from Buffalo and I noticed right away that the home opener is that Thursday and only an hour away. Not sure if I can swing it but it would be hard to miss that game being only an hour away.

          Not very likely. The F1 isn't there any longer.

            As far as packing for weather around here in September. https://weatherspark.com/averages/31494/9/Rochester-New-York-United-States

            Good...very much still shorts weather!

            Oh yes, should still be quite warm in Upstate NY.

                This is so why I will not use Amtrak anywhere outside the east coast.

                There is a single train available out of Chicago going to Rochester. This was the ONLY choice.

                  Only four days, not bad.

                    That is overnight trains. so only sort of 4 days.

                    I can drive in under 10. It will cost more, but at least I have more choice on departure times.

                    Cost would be 6 (likely 5 in reality) tanks (9 gallons) of gas for $151 assuming $2.80 per gallon.

                      I've done Rochester to the Chicago city limit in 10 hours straight in the car. It's long, but not horrible.

                        If Google maps says 9:42, then I will probably come in a bit faster than that.

                            I did it in a van so there had to be faster ways. And it was winter (not snowy, just winter.)

                              I did St Louis to Rochester and back again with only the overnight in Rochester back when I was 18 with a friend.

                              Took the kids to Niagara Falls a few years ago, but we stopped overnight someplace between Cleveland and Buffalo.

                                My buddy and I did it in a beat up old box van that overheated if we went over 55 unless we drafted really close to a semi. it was fucking crazy.

                                  Trying to see if I can come. @scottalanmiller knows I'm from Batavia, NY which sits smack in the middle of Buffalo and Rochester and this would be a PERFECT reason to stop by my home town. Unfortunately, there are two other HPE events that same week, both of which have requested my presence. Me sad. 😢 Maybe I should see if the Bills are playing - that could push me over the edge to skip the HPE events!

                                      I'll be coming in from Pavilion (Batavia "suburb" basically) for the event myself! I was in Batavia this week 🙂
