J.C. Argetsinger is the oldest son of Cameron Argetsinger and experienced first-hand, starting as a young boy, the interactions between his father and numerous world renowned and important individuals from the motorsport world. J.C. has publically shared his personal remembrances of both his father and France at a recent conversation series event held at the International Motor Racing Research Center in Watkins Glen. J.C., a retired Schuyler County (NY), judge and attorney, served as president of the IMRRC from 2007 until retiring from that post in 2015. Immediately following the talk, the special 75 Motor Racing video will be premiered. The video was made possible through the partnership with the Academy for Media Production in Pennsylvania, CRL Historic Photography, and the IMRRC. This 15 minute video will also be integrated into the special exhibition gallery at the Brick Tavern Museum, where the “Watkins Glen: 75 Year of Road Racing” opened on March 1. The exhibition will remain open to the public through October 31.
