If someone has any AiM data from there, they can do it themselves. With GPS Lap Insert, you can set a start finish by clicking on the map and it will also give you the coordinates. This will fix the data you have and give you the info for GPS Manager.
Then go into GPS Manager and create a new track with the coordinates from above. Click the button for loading the track shape and pick the GPS file from above (C:\AIM_SPORT\RaceStudio2\DATA is default). Set up the other few parameters and you're all set.
I'm happy to walk you through it or do it for you as well.
Edit: Here is the video for GPS lap insert https://vimeo.com/104157434 and here is how to make the track in GPS Manager https://vimeo.com/45278158

Note that they don't have an official start stripe painted down yet, I usually pick a spot near the clubhouse. I'll try to get this posted Monday evening.

If you can wait till Monday (tracking at Summit Point this weekend) I think I can help you out. I'll look at my data (Race Render) and pull out the start/stop coordinates.

Cobetto's lap.
There's some possibility you could double the first left instead of an extremely late single... But will have to try it!

I did not even know about this project. Certainly nice that it is so close to those of us in Northern Virginia. As to its current safety layout, it looks like the video should be in black in white, there should be some hay bails, and the cars should be auto unions and silver arrows.

IMO, the problem is that, based on the recent videos, this track has too high of a chance of hitting things that can damage vehicles and people, coupled with drivers tending to not be very aware of the specifics of runoff areas until they actually venture into the runoff areas (due to their understandable focus on the geometry of the track and curbing, and how to reduce their lap time based on that).

Fair. I am looking forward to watching the progress. In truth, I have been away from the track now almost 10 years, which is sad. I will probably end up buying something complete for next DE season, which should be around when this thing is done, and I can easily rent or borrow a trailer to tow from Alexandria, which offers a good second close option to Summit Point from Northern Virginia.

It isn't, it's a brand new track and I imagine it will take a year or two with experience to get all the bugs worked out. I watched the Shanadoah circuit at Summit Point go from birth to what it now, this looks to be very similar.

I'll try to post the coordinates tonight when I get some time on the home computer.
