So whats the deal with summit point?The track is coming up in turns 1,5,6,and 10.Its like a gravel pit.Lots of crashes this past weekend.Seems like a saftey issue to me.Hope its fixed by the 4th of july!

they sent a sweeper out twice on monday....it didnt really do much.. i would not race on that, unless they fix it. how? who knows. concrete again? maybe. but i wouldnt race with gravel all over the track and hole in 7

Have been advised by Summit Point personal that they have the track closed today and are using a type of epoxy ashalt repair material. I do not have any further details.

I hope that its not just sealer like they did last year.

Why in these modern times can't someone come up with a track surface material that can stand up to the punishment of racing a lttle better than what they are using? It seems foolish to spend all that money to repave and have it come apart in such a short period of time. Or at least let the surface cure for a longer period of time before throwing vehicles back out on it.

The modern times can come up with a track surface that stands up.

Just don't expect Summit Point to use anyone with skills outside of paving driveways. It appears to me that they are not seeking the professional road race paving expertise and paving that they should be.

Its a damn shame. Resurface the entire track, dig it back up a couple of weeks later to take out the old concrete patches, resurface it again. Close it 6-7 months later to fix the "new" surface. One of these days they'll get it right...Maybe.

what 1 day isnt enough time for the track to cure (insert eye rolling emoticon here)

[Russell2566]

I roll my eyes when someone is surprised that their new paint job won't cure in one day.... These guys thought it was a good idea to run cars on who knows how think pavement within 24-36 hours?

I think their greediness to just use the track is causing some serious quality control issues.

There should not have been crashes due to gravel.  I know there were no crashes in my turn 5 on Sunday.  Several times throughout the day I had to sweep off gravel.

This is what it looked like at the end of the day.





Sealant isn't a solution for the crappy loose gravel asphalt they used here.  This is what happened with sealant on the track.   Imagine what cars would do to it.
