I am in White Plains, NY heading to Summit Point this weekend for the first time. Can anyone suggest the "best" route to the track. I prefer less traffic, since I am towing my enclosed trailer. I am considering I-78 to Harrisburg, then Route 15 (PA)south.
Also, any suggestions for paddock location?
Sorry, I know this was discussed some time ago, but I could not find the topic when I did a search of the site.
Thanks for your assistance.

Bill--Considering the distance you are going, why not use 81 instead of 15?
Bill, 15 South will allow to avoid tractor tailers on 81. Watch for 340 to charlestown to head for summit. As far as paddock it will be very interesting as there is usually a line up that ends up being the "land rush" of the old west days http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/biggrin.gif .

Stick to 81.
Shortest way from 81 to the track: Get off at the Inwood exit, turn left, then in about 3/4 mile go right at the "Tee" (Luweegies Pizza...yes...that's how it's spelled...will be right in front of you at the "Tee"). In about 300 yds., turn left at the Sheetz gas station onto 51.
Go about 4-5 miles into Middleway. Turn right onto Leetown Rd., and you'll start to see signs directing you to the track. Just follow the Leetown Rd - it twists and bends but it knows where it's going.
As you enter the hamlet of Summit Point, there will be a raised railroad crossing. If you cross it at an angle, you shouldn't have a problem with trailer clearance (I have an enclosed 24', and I don't scrape...but you have been warned). Take an immediate right after the railroad tracks. Summit Point entrace will be about a mile down, on the left.
If you arrive on Friday evening, you will be paddocking in Kansas. Forget 'site selection', just find the first available level spot. Mr. Scott is building more race tracks, but he REALLY needs to build MORE PADDOCK for the big track.

Thanks all for your help.
It will be an interesting trip, especially if the rain continues.
See you sometime.

Hey ! "Luweegee's Pizza" (sic) either burned down or fell over, sometime after Thanksgiving 2003. Now the directions above should read " turn right at the big empty paved lot where Luweegee's used to be".
Kinda suprised to see it gone when I drove thru Inwood on Thursday afternoon.
John- That must be some good Pizza!Quote:

John,
Great directions to Summit
I just read your follow up post this morning. We wondered about the Luweegee's pizza shop. We thought the Fireworks store was the old pizza parlor.
Again, many thanks for the directions.

Bill - you're welcome. Nice weekend, huh ? Rain, cold, mud, snow. This Nat'l needs to be about 2 weeks later in April.
My race lasted from S/F to T1. Got drilled from behind at the apex and it demo'ed the right rear. Some guys gots no brains...
