Ly St. James, the featured guest during the U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International September 11-13, is scheduled to make several appearances throughout the weekend, including autograph sessions and fan forums. The weekend will serve as a tribute to her and her racing career and as a celebration of the featured marque, Morgan.

All four of St. James’ autograph sessions will be held at The Pyramid Souvenir Center in the infield of the track throughout the weekend and will give fans the chance to have their racing collectables and merchandise signed by the legendary driver. She will sign autographs on Saturday, September 12, from 10:00 am – 11:00 am and again from 2:20 pm – 3:00 pm and on Sunday, September 13, from 10:00 am – 11:15 am and again from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm.
