I have been to Summit Point and its a nice track to run the 8's on. Here is a short 10 meg .AVI of me on the Summit point track taken from the bridge that goes over the main straight

LINK (will need DIVX )
It's not a great video but you can see what most of the track looks like.

I would like to add that Dave and the whole MDA crew do a great job of running a weekend at the track. Family obligations keep me from the labor day weekend but I would be there if i could. I am already planning a June 06 trip to VIR. Hint hint Dave...

if only i wasn't going to Vegas for a bachelor party(!!!) over Labor Day weekend.... :(

but then again, i'm probably gonna be, um, 'preoccupied' with 'activities' generally related to bachelor parties ;) ;)

so yeah, i'll just patiently wait for next year's MDA driving events!!!! top notch operation these guys run!!! :D

Here is a copy of the track layout I plan on running, yes the banked turn is included. I had to cut down the resolution.

Bang for the track buck, it cannot be beat!!

Thanks to all who participated in a fast and safe event. The Shenandoah Circuit is a drivers track that is a hoot to drive at speed. Use of the Skid Pad was also a great learning tool.

Summit Point continues to improve the facility, track and services, so next year should be even better. Dave

I beg to differ. The track was not a hoot. It was a freakin' blast! :D
