Any track rentals planned?

[AbsolutHank]

I'm itching to get my car to the track, especially before the heat/humidity kicks in...anyone have any track rentals planned?

Had any contact with Summit Point? Last I was there was ten+ years ago and I had a 4banger MR2.. I understand they don't alow gen 1s anymore (no rollbar).. Too bad for me but they may make allowances if we can buy a day... ??

I was out there for some bike races two weeks ago when nobody wanted to go drivin'...

Good times

Go to MIR, or are you talking about road racing?

I assume drag strip, been trying to set something up at 75/80.

John...that would be awesome!

I'm not sure its gonna fly at that event at Capitol. Our Verts need rollbars etc...from what I've heard, they only really let you slide on the track rentals

So im guessing he is talking about drag strip. Im down for road racing or the 1/4.

Srt Vert guys are limited to 13.50 I think, I can put my hard top and run as low as 11.50 without needing a cage. Lines of communication were reopened as far as the track rental. I will keep everyone posted.

Technically, the club only has one event this weekend, but I like to keep everyone informed of all the options available.

+1 for SummitPoint.

Has the VCA ever done a trackday there?

If we do plan a track day at Summitt Point and it's just us will they let an RT/10 run since we don't have a roll bar? Maybe someone could loan me a hard top that day if a Gen 1 with a hardtop shows up. Would love to run the course. Would also be in on a karting event at SP. I hear these are fast karts and not for the meek and mild.

Im down for a viper track day at Summit.
BTW i heard to karts are slow.

Ultimately, we would have to pair up with another club to do a track rental. We do not have enough cars/members interested to warrant the expense. The main track is the only one worth running our cars on and it is booked far in advance. I am not sure they offer rain insurance either. So if it rains on the day you rent the track, you still have to pay.

These are the primary reasons we have never done a track rental. Ferrari of Washington has invited us to several of their track days, we only get 1 Viper at most to these events.
