Would anyone be up for renting one of the tracks at summit point next year for a weekend? (im sure you gotta do this way ahead of time). We could do like a F-Body weekend. Or maybe even a F-Body vs Mustang day. No contact running. Don't know about you guys but I am killing to get these cars out on a road course with no speed limits :P

 

Sorry for those who don't know what summit point is:

Its about a hour and a half outside baltimore.

 

Im down, id love to push my car in some turns...though it dangerous and risky, id take it easy for awhile before id go all out *****. I remember seeing people bringing there cars...nice new cars and stuff and flipping them and stuff.

 

Well no bodies saying you gotta push it....just doing 115MPH is pretty safe and you have no worries of getting a ticket...and hey what we get a thrill out of doing drag racing why not do it for 2 hours straight?...


But anyways the car I am gonna bring wont matter if I flip 10 times hehe. So I might just push it As long as I don't mess up the ls1 hehe.

 

I'd be interested, but looks like admission $$ will break my Broke Dude Budget.

 

Well if we can get a good 50 cars should be like 20-40$ for each of us. More cars the better.

 

If that is how much it costs then I'm in.

 

Ok I e-mailed them I will post there responce with general information as soon as I hear something from them.

 

I really doubt it only costs $2K to rent the track. You're going to need EV crews (who's going to tow you out when you're in a sand trap? who's going to treat you when you ball your car up into a tire wall?), workers at all the corners (who's going to tell you somebody has balled their car up and is sitting in the middle of the track), insurance so somebody doesn't sue you because they hurt themselves willingly going 120 mph down the front straight, etc. etc. It's not just a case of getting a few people together and renting the track.

Your best bet IMO would be to run the same weekend as NASA, Car Guys or do a Friday At The Track with BSR.

But if you can set up a track day that only costs $40 I'd sure like to hear about it!

Good point well I e-mailed them can't hurt to see what they have to say. Was hoping 2000 a day would be enough but if not I just that just means more cars or we pay more. Now me personaly I would pay 500$ for the whole weekend....but thats me.

 

NASA is around $250-$275 for the whole weekend. Car Guys is a little more expensive. NASA also has some racing like Camaro-Mustang Challenge and American Iron so at least you have something to watch when you're not on track.

$250 may seem like a lot if you're used to paying $20 for a night of drag racing, but there's a huge difference when comparing the amount of seat-time-per-dollar. You aren't going to spend 2+ hours actually on track at a drag strip even if you have a Geo Metro with 2 spark plug wires pulled.

Hurm... too far
