Summit Point Experience
 
First of all it was not me who got to do this.:( This was a birthday present for my girlfriend. On top of that, I was not even able to attend the event as I was up in Boston that weekend. So, she went with her sister (who took the pictures). That is her driving the yellow Gallardo LP560-4

That's awesome. I'm going in June to drive the Jefferson circuit at Hyperfest. My brother does the HPDE's there almost once a month on whatever track the host club is running. I've got to use the big skidpad there already and got to sneak a few laps around Jefferson :eek:.
I'm sure the Lambo was much more fun than a beat up SVX will be.

Both are AWD, both are heavy, both understeer... After that the similarities end unfortunately...

I'm almost afraid to ask how much this present must have cost you...:eek:

p.s. not going to be interested in the Hoosiers, as I already have a set in storage ;)

By the f430 maybe?


I've been looking for a good dedicated track car too. Mostly looking at Miatas or E30/E36. Either of those seem to be the most economical and reliable way to get on the track.

I will drive that track before I die!

Bucket list!

I would vote for VIR before Summit Point I think...

Agreed - VIR is a grand track and a superb facility! What is it, 3.27 miles with 16 - 17 turns and a mile straight? And smooth as glass too. Love that track. But that said, the Shenandoah Circuit at Summit is pretty good too - very technical with 2 mile length with 17 turns. My '92 SVX (with Konis) actually does quite well there - I just wish I had 100 more HP :D

BTW, my son instructs there for TrackDaze ....
