Summit point

Not under the current restrictions which prohibt 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 ordinace is lifted/amended then we look at it as a viable race facilty.

You keep citing this as a reason for ccs not racing at Beaver, but the reality of the situation is that loud motorcycles race and ride there all the time, and no one is ever kicked off of the track for being too loud.  WERA has been racing there since 2004 without any incidents of someone being kicked off of the track for being too loud.  I have seen cars autocrossing there that are louder than any bike I have ever heard.  Even louder than the ULGP bikes at Homestead.

This was all summit pavement on monday. I think 10-12 people went down monday alone. I know sunday had a number of people go down also. The heat coupled with the track conditions were terrible.





Got a small vid of somebody going down between 6 and 7 on sunday.

Will the race weekend still be held?  Has Summit made an official statement on this?  I checked the site and there is no mention of this. 

I plan on running the weekend however, at this point I am hoping it is not cancelled.

Hopefully we will get some official word soon from someone we can trust.

I wish I was 8 hours away.

There is no discussion of canceling event.

Was unable to look at actual track surface today as the track was in use. Track is working on repairs and is looking at methods that will work within the time constraints that will minimize downtime and be the best long term solution. Concrete is an option but not preferred.

Thank you for the update Eric

Hey! Heres a novel idea, how about letting the blacktop cure before putting heavy cars out on it! I haven't been to the track since last year, but it sound to me that there was no cure time for the new surface. Just my 2 cents.

I heard some people got a letter that the event may be cancled...I didn't get anything. Is that true?

I did which is why the news of someone getting a letter really surprised me. I'm assuming from your response you didn't get a letter either.

[Eric Kelcher]

The event is not canceled, or even been discussed as canceled.


edit there is no letter regarding this event that has gone out as there is/was no reason for a letter to go out discussing status of event.

Information on CCS website is the proper place for full facts regarding events

Ok, great, thanks, I appreciate that!
