There is no such sim who has it.  The only chance would be a user created
track for either GP2 or C:PR, but I've seen almost all the tracks for GP2
and never I've seen the Glen with the boot.  But it's a great idea to
anybody who has spare time ;)

        I don't think there is a Sim that has the Boot :(  Believe me, if there
was, I'd be the first to do all I could to convert it at any cost!!

        I've had the pleasure of driving the boot (slowly at about 35 mph) in
my Geo Storm to drop off a corner worker at station and love the way the
"Toe" is setup.

I've driven the Glen with the boot layout at a track event. It was a blast. I
find it hard to believe that it hasn't been done in a sim.

There is one for GP2.  I have it and drive it alot.  Go to
http://www.alphaf1.com/gp2/ and look in the North American tracks section.  Get
the one marked Watkins Glen '80.  It has the chicane in the Esses but it has
the boot.  It fairly well done too.

The boot is a portion of the track that is mostly unused these days.  Well
not by the NASCAR series racing there.  It was used as a portion of the
track back in the days of Formula 1 racing (after the big modifications to
the track) from 1971 to 1980.  It is a very interesting track section, that
I would love to see Winston Cups cars race there, since IIRC it goes
downhill at a tremendous rate and has a weird off-camber corner I think.

Here is maps of the track :

        hehe, I used to watch from the roof of the Glen Club as the SCCA cars
jump the chacane!  It was always a highlight of every weekend :)

Go to : http://grandprix2.ga-sports.com

They have a track section that has the Glen with the boot. Or you can
mail me and I'll send one to you. It's only 40kb.

Happy driving
