Potomac Region PCA
Summit Point 2014 at Summit Point Motorsports Park - Summit Point, WV (Club Race)


Jack and Derrick Ford of EuroPros Collision Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland are sponsoring a dinner on Friday night. This dinner will be catered and all volunteers and drivers are invited.
The caterer will arrive at noon to begin the bbq of beef, chicken and brats. The dinner will begin between 5:00 and 5:30. Therefore the happy hour will be combined with the dinner.
This is the first year for such a generous sponsorship! In the past the Friday night dinner was limited to volunteers. Please be sure to thank Jack and Derrick.

Going to be a long pull but will be fun to go back to where I started 40 years ago.

This Northern aggressor is coming down to kick some Southern E stock *** and eat some peach cobbler - not necessarily in that order

Sxxit! The mud & snows won't work on pavement.

Just an FYI. I got booted off Summit Point today during a SCCA track day doing some practice in preparation for the race in two weeks. The track manager claimed I was emitting 130 decibels down the front straight and the limit is 103 now. No exceptions.

No way in hell my car will do 130 decibels 50 feet off centerline at WOT. Need to figure something out or I'm not racing. Getting to 103 will be tough. Putting the muffler and some curved pipes I guess.

I don't think their meter is operating properly but they refuse to see if it is. PIA!!!!! We had a handheld meter two months ago and I was 100-102.

This is not welcomed news. Same thing applies to Monticello, but at least they were up front about it. Now with less than 2 weeks to go, I've got to find a reliable way to check my dBs, maybe quickly source some curved pipes. Do you know where they positioned the meter?

smf32s

You need to have them curve towards the passenger side of the car. They read from the outside of the track.

Hope that makes sense.

The meter is just before the brake zone of T1 on the outside of the track.

I hear from reliable sources that this has been worked out for the club race and should not be an issue.

I'll try to get more specifics.


The rule has always been 103 btw.

Hunt, the track manager said a lot of people will be in trouble. I hope we're ok and get it worked out.

Fingers crossed.

Good news!!! Turns out the track manager at Summit did not know how to operate his sound measuring equipment. The head SCCA sound guy came out after I left and all the cars were in good range or very close.

We need to make sure that this manager works with us and not against us at the race.

Phew!!

Thanks for the update, Stu. That makes more sense.
