Make sure your brake pads are well above half-thickness--the Glen eats brake pads like nobody's business, especially on heavy cars like ours.

Another vote for the Harbor Hotel. Nicest hotel in the area, fairly new, decent restaurant, good/safe parking lot, and they offer a room rate discount for trackday events. It's the place to stay if your family is coming along--your wife would kill you if you took her to the roughing-it-in-the-woods Seneca Lodge.

For other activities, you can drive up along Seneca Lake and have a nice dinner at Belhurst Castle (about 30min away), or check out the Finger Lakes wineries. If your kids are into it, the Corning Museum of Glass is a very cool spot. It's about 30min away to the Southwest, and has a lot of interesting, interactive exhibits, as well as amazing displays of beautiful decorative glass. And if your kids are teenagers, you can always run one lake over to check out the Cornell campus, in case they don't want to do Northwestern or U of Chicago.
Once again, your hospitality and insight is greatly appreciated. All your vids and experience definitely promoted me to get out there, amongst the fact that it looks absolutely AWESOME! Thanks again for the insights, my girls are little, 3-6, don't even want to think about school or the $1/2 mill it will probably cost by then
