Summit point

[Chris410]

Cones?  Seriously? 

Reading over some input from different forums they have not changed anything, and honestly I expect the same if not worse conditions as last time.

With NJ running I hope at some point we visit CMP (8 hour drive for me) and NJ more often next year.  While I raced Summit I am disappointed that they have not released any statements with the intent of improving it.  There's a WERA weekend coming up so I will be curious to see how people react and how the weekend goes.

Either way...with the challenging conditions, as usual everyone did a great job and I look forward to racing with everyone again, at least I know that the people racing against me will do their job right so hats off.

If I hear anything I will post up...as of this post, I have not heard any updates on whether anything is going to be done.

CCS please drop a few of the Mid-Atlantic Summit Point weekends for 09.  Just add 1 more CMP weekend  and add two NJMP weekends and we'll be golden. I live 35 minutes from Summit but after the July 4th weekend track conditions I think it's time we take some of our money and play elsewhere.

I totally agree (except the NJMP thing....I think there should be more CMP).....the whole reason I ride on the race track is so that I can go balls out and not have to worry about the poor surface conditions, walls, and other hazards that are on the street.....shoot, maybe we should just have an event at the Dragon one time next season....

Well, a friend of mine who is an instructor for Ferrari was out there this week and said that the surface is similar to how it has been.  No changes have been made to the track.

Would be nice to have fewer Summit dates with more NJ dates and maybe one more CMP.

I hope Summit fixes up the track because while racing one weekend on such a poor surface was doable...and many of us did it...to ride it like that for the next round is BS.   I can understand one race weekend in poor conditions but where is the quality/pride of the owners of that track?

Im real close to Summit, and go pretty well there, but the surface is ridiculous.  Shenny is way too dangerous, and Main is ruined.

How about this for 2009?

Daytona
CMP
Summit
VIR
NJMP
Beave
CMP
VIR
Daytona ROC

And can we add in a "throwaway" round, so we dont get penalized for not making the trek to Daytona?

That looks good to me
Throw in the Barber twin-sprint round and we're good

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't mind the run to AL

[LongDogRacing]

Totally agree w/ the proposed schedule!  Think the powers that be are listening?

Re: Barber--  yeah, but does it really need to be AUGUST in Alabama!?

[bel-biv]

I hear you there
But its hot as all get-out in MD in August, so whats another few degrees?

[Chris410]

I wish Barber were removed from the schedule...a CMP or NJ round in its place would be a lot better.

Sadly, I can't justify the time/cost to do Barber...

[gixster]

I agree barber is to far for mid atlantic

BeaveRun has been discussed many times...and as it is now...isn't going to happen....

Not under the current restrictions which prohibit even stock exhaust machines from competition.

Due to sound limitations applicable to operations at BeaveRun, no vehicle will be permitted to operate with a sound level in excess of 95 dbA as measured at a distance of 50 feet from the vehicle under full throttle.

The chance of a race event being stopped mid-event or riders fined for a regulation that our competitors cannot meet is not worth the risk of adding it to the schedule regardless of past history. If or when the noise ordinance is lifted/amended then we look at it as a viable race facility.
