Expo1, Hank, look forward to seeing you there. Looks like Paul is also there.
Four 8's is a good start. Either of you been here before? I am making brake pad decisions. Given how technical it is, I assume it is going to be hard on brakes so I probably need to bring a fresh set of fronts with me... |
bringing a backup set of brake pads never hurt :)

Extra pads (Carbotech XP8s) are on their way...Phil @ Driven Performance Equipment is fantastic...
Related questions My wife wants to know... How are the facilities at SP? Meaning, is there a place sit under cover like a cafeteria a'la VIR or is it more hard core - sit on pavement under your own awning? Is there food & drink available at the track? I want to know... Closest Gas Station - you know we have 8's and this is an important question... BTW - Reservations at Shoney's but am skeptical about it... I am looking to stay in a Charles Town B&B, anyone have a suggestion? TIA |
Not much cover at Summit Point Take a look at this video from my trip last year. Near the end of it you can see two buildings there. I am not sure if they added anymore this year. There is a very large lot there so if you can bring a small awning do so. The food is about a 10 minute walk at the main track at summit point I think Dave said that it would be open. Gas is a short drive from the track in Charles Town, but you should bring a little with you anyway should you get caught under 1/4 tank. I will be staying at a motel in Charles Twon the Northgate Inn, it has hot water and a bed. That's about all I care to say.

I gotta go to the UK in a couple of weeks, but would love to hit S.P. before cold weather grounds us for the season. Thanks, Mike |

I'll be there in my 8 too. Looking forward to it. Going to have to see if I can pick up some gas cans before this weekend. As I remember, nearest outside gas station (besides the one at the track) is about 15min trip in Charlestown.
