Default Summit Point club race open

Who's in ?
3 Sprints and 1 hour enduro.
That's a lot of racing for the money.
Dixie bones Barbecue Saturday night, all the ribs you care to eat.

Definitely in

Also got an email stating deer fencing, trees coming down, walls reworked, possible deer hunt, etc...so seems like Jens has heard to call for track adjustments/ improvements


And the ribs are pork not venison...I think

Registration is really slow. Are people really staying away?

Mid Ohio 2 weeks before and Monticello 2 weeks after is definitely part of the equation. But they can't match the chicks that show up at Summit.... Here is an email from the race chair.



Potomac, the Founder's Region is ready to put on a fine Club Race September 26-28th. As a past entrant we would like you to join us again this year. It is our 23rd race and Summit Point's 45th Anniverary.
Starting August 18th Summit Point is improving track run off areas that they feel need addressed. Turn 9 tire walls will be reshaped. Trees beyond those walls are to be removed. Turn 10 and the main straight get changes as well. Deer fencing will be installed between turn 3 and turn 4. The track also has a conservation permit to remove the deer. Big changes are coming. Come see them.
Thanks for considering PCA Potomac Club Racing.

I have a thermal optic scoped .223 bolt action that was used as part of the Rock Creek Park contract removal and have been in touch with Jens about assisting in the removal of furry friends.

That's fine but what's the track doing about the front straight? No deer fencing there? I haven't even been to SP Main all that many times but I've personally seen 2 deer incidents on the front straight and an almost-groundhog incident between T9 and T10 (I was in the passenger seat for that one). And we've all seen youtube videos of multiple deer excursions onto the front straight...

I hope the owner/mgmt of SP is really getting on top of it. Based on their past performance I'm not so sure..

In, but the registration shows only a 60 minute enduro. I hope they really are 90 mins..
