Title: Summit Point Shenandoah Pics
Post by: dwilson on December 02, 2003, 07:23:35 AM
Since Summit Point is the only track with in 6 hours of me, I'm kind of excited about the Shenandoah Circuit.  During a recent search I found these pics.  I just thought I'd share.  If anyone has seen it or has any word on how it's doing, please join in...

NOW THAT IS DIFFERENT! Don't know if it's good or not. Looks like a skinny Daytona. Running off will be REAL exciting.

looks like a lot of places for crashing bikes to cross the track....  or walls are coming.   :'(

Yea, I'm hoping it's just the one spot inside that hook where the track surfaces are that close together.  Being a novice here, I don't really understand the "stepped" appearance of the banked area.  There is asphalt top and bottom with the banked concrete in between, why?  I'll assume the concrete area is the intended track area, but what's the asphalt for? ???  I'm also assuming that this track will be used for car racing as well, the banked area looks way too small for cars, or am I missing something?

That turn is a replica of the most famous turn at the Nuremburg(sp) ring. Could be interesting

Dang, that is wierd lookin.  I can't wait to get up there and take a look at it in person. That stepped asphalt/concrete/asphalt stuff looks wacky.

well right now it is not a replica because the ring does not have the step and is banked all around.

And walls are coming.

look at the diagram, every runnoff/impact area is "protected" by "track barrier" which is going to be the stupid 3 feet tall concrete walls I bet

That's just the first layer of asphalt, They did one layer of asphalt then the concrete corners then they do the whole track again with asphalt usually a different type of asphalt.

 :oDo you know what it says in the dictionary next to the word Dafan?  Someone or thing that does the act of bagging or the bagger of sand!  Example:  Man, that guy is a Dafan!  Sandbagger,  HaHa no more SBing for you.

hey now, I got my petition ready to go! Or as suggested I will go race WERA novice hahaha

I am scared of sandbagging, all it got me are a few broken bones and nothing real good to show for. A wall full of 2nd place plaques? but since CCS don't but the word "Amatuer" on wood, its all good, I will use them next year too  :D

I am changing my number, I got a great one for WERA  ;D ;D ;D the best # a chinese guy can want
