Fred,

Since you make up your own lines anyway without regard to curbing or anything else, no need for you to get there early. It will just be a waste of your equipment.

Sean can show you the line that bypasses the carousel and where the best traction is in the dirt to the left of T1...

?? It's 5.5 from here IIRC, so 7.5-8 for you, no?

It's not a great track, but it depends. Would driving Summit prevent you from doing an event at another track later this year? If so, then you need to decide which track and/or event you would rather attend. If you budget doesn't limit you in that way, then racing is racing, and racing is ALWAYS worth a 9 hour drive.

OK Gary, an hour less distant might make difference.....

Bryan......how can anyone argue that racing is racing and racing is always worth 8-9 hrs drive?

I just need to find out which of "Usual Suspects" is going down there to race......

Barring something unusual, I will be there. Besides, you've been at that track Paolo - you should be able to judge if it is worth it to you.
