I know a lot of you have been following the VIR thread and I know that Dave has already committed to Summit Point, but I thought I'd pass along info on that too.  

Weekend is Nov. 2-3.
Cost is $289 for both days.  
Location is Summit Point, WV - near Charles Town (not Charleston).  On the main track.
It is a NASA event, so membership is required. &nbsp;I'm too lazy to link to the website, but there aren't any cool pics either <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
While not as glamorous as VIR, SUmmit is a solid track that is excellent for beginners. &nbsp;It has an easy to follow line. &nbsp;Run off room where you need it (mostly). &nbsp;Decent facilities. &nbsp;And PLENTY of room to improve your driving.

As with VIR, NASA is running the show so you get classroom and track time. &nbsp;PLUS, you get to watch some really exciting racing when you are not doing school or track. &nbsp;

Summit is about 1-1.5 hrs. from DC and can easily be reached from MD, PA, VA, DC, NJ, OH, and WV. &nbsp;Those travelling farther will be travelling farther. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

If you didn't go to VIR b/c it was a bad time or too far away, this is your chance to see how good of a driver you really are. &nbsp;(you'll be surprised! &nbsp;). &nbsp;

Hope to see some of you there! &nbsp;Mark

Hmmmmmmmm...

Ah, screw it, I only get to be young and rich once, I'm signing up for this one too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;Hey, I won't even have to stay overnight for Summit Point - it's less than an hour for me, provided 270 North isn't tied up (and it shouldn't be at 0dark:00 on weekends).

Anyone willing to donate their driveway for a weekend afternoon so I can change pads and rotors? &nbsp;I decided to keep my old ones for VIR, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> they're almost brand new, might as well burn them off the fun way.

WV is a little far for me right now.. &nbsp; so I'm gonna have to skip this one. &nbsp;VIR will probably be the last track event of the year for me.. &nbsp;I need to save my money to get back in school, and finish all the things I want to do to the 240 before next years racing starts. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Ryan, if you want to drive to NoVA you are welcome to use my driveway tools ect.

Excellent. &nbsp;Didn't think we'd see you Charles. &nbsp;But that's cool - most of us didn't make LMS either. &nbsp;

That's the spirit Ryan. &nbsp;That's exactly what I thought... there probably won't be another event until at least Feb. &nbsp;Might as well. &nbsp;Summit will likely be the last track the 240 sees, too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

And I'd offer my driveway - but I don't have one. &nbsp;I'll be changing my front pads at the InnKeeper parking lot <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
