Track Days 2 2007
Went to Summit Point last weekend. Capitol Area R32 Club has a 2 day HPDE event under NASA Mid-Atlantic management. Terrific event on the Shenandoah circuit. Really challenging circuit, two miles, 17 turns. Here is a track map
One of the 180 hairpins, called the Karrusel features something I've never seen before, a steep banked portion of the track that is like some sort of chute. Some pictures. The entry.
 
Had a really good couple of days. Harry (NewSVX) came around to visit. He has driven both the main track and the Shenandoah track multiple times. It was good to see him, since I missed Reading this year. Here are some shots of my car on the track.
About to be eaten by an Evo:
Long view of the track entrance from the pit;
Got back, and car was running poorly. Took it to the shop, with the following news, fried main cat, dying power steering pump, and maybe dead pre-cats. Had to cancel my track day at Pocono this Sunday, but have a double track day, mid-June. Car should be back in form by then. Hope to get in 10 days by the time the season is over. Have to get to Watkins Glen, and main circuit at Summit Point. Shooting for HPDE3 for start of next year.
