That will change the view coming through 4. Chris White said they were going to be doing some serious work this off season.

Pretty sure they increased the deer fencing a couple seasons ago along with removing much of the brush where they would hide/sleep/etc inside the perimeter. It isn't perfect and it never will be given the surrounding terrain and woodlands but from my talks with Chris and Greg I got the sense that the rate of animal strikes has been reduced.

Though we (PCA) had a deer strike last season, last event of the year. The driver is an instructor, hit the deer in her session and went out with her student on his next session as if nothing happened - great person.

Summit has made a whole lot of improvements over the last few years. Chris has really made safety a focus.
