Agreed! My first (and only) Summit Point race was in 2017 with Vintage and had a blast. Bummed I couldnt make last year (money going to the business and not fun stuff), but made sure this year (and hopefully all future years if we can sell enough stuff to fund it) I'm there. Fun group, fun track!!
That said...yesterday we learned there is a problem with our truck/tow vehicle. Can't figure out what the problem is so HOPEFULLY the mechanic can today (it randomly suddenly feels like we're driving over the warning gators on the sides of the road...then just mysteriously goes away...no rhyme or reason). Was hoping to be loading the car on the trailer today...looks like if they figure it out its going to be a late night (par for the course right?). Plan on doing the test day to do some set up with Trevor Dawe....we'll see....

That doesn't sound good Bob. I hope to see you there Thursday.

mechanic can't figure out what's wrong. Local Porsche guys across the parking lot from our store said check ball joints. Waiting to hear if they did.
Oh...we'll be there...somehow...(he says with no plan B).
We went years with our car not working and causing us to miss events...now its the truck's turn to cause me stress....gotta love this sport!.

Long time Spec Miata racer at Summit wanting to switch to a Boxster. Is this event open to the public so I may take a look at the Spec Boxster class? Also looking for a street Boxster, 1999-2004.

I came out on Friday. Great day to be outside and around cars.
I witnessed the totaled Boxster crash in Turn 5. Felt really bad for the guy.
I have no idea why they put metal barriers there and took out the tires!!! I even asked that to myself before the crash! Worst place to not have protection!

Congrats to Scott B for his 1st SPB win! When interviewed he was asked about his win over Hunt, to which he replied "it was particularly satisfying since this is Hunt's home track". A savage beatdown over the loud speaker system!
