Team DI Pro IT at Summit Point

[benspeed]

Looks like a great event coming up at Summit Point. I was hoping somebody could provide directions to the track from NJ that ensures my big rig will make it to the track without getting high sided on railroad tracks etc...It's been a year since I've been there but I recall a couple of crossings I wouldn't want to go over in my motorhome.

I'm also curious where I should be parking at the track. I recall that classes paddock together but there isn't much room for big rigs.

Any help is most appreciated. Thanks

I would take I-287 south to I-78. I-78 to I-81 south.Take I-81 south to Virginia exit 315. At the end of the exit ramp turn left onto VA Rt. 7. Go east on Rt. 7 to the fifth traffic light and turn left onto Crum's Church Road Rt. 632. Follow Crum's Church Road to the stop sign (about 5 miles). At the stop sign turn right onto Old Charles Town Road. Follow Old Charles Town road about three miles to the stop sign and turn right onto Summit Point Pike. Go up the hill, the first driveway on the right is the back gate for the track. The second driveway on the right is the main gate.

Read the supps, you will see that you are allotted a 40' x 20' space in the paddock for your rig and racecar. Or you could paddock by the registration building and avoid the space limitations.

If you have more questions you can call me at our shop 304.728.8222.

Thanks Dave - which driveway should I take into the track? I'm about 58 feet long...12 tons. Rolling into the track around 9PM.

For all MARRS events its the main gate, there is no gaurentee that the Shanandoa gate will be open for us. And it can handle your rig, many pass through there. As for paddock space, might want to e-mail some people see if they can add you to the corral if you want pavement space which goes fast.

I need to reserve a paddock spot too. Who do I contact?

[Gregg]

Contact the drivers rep for your class (ITS?). All reps' contact info is listed in the supps. It should be Marshall Lytle.

Please be aware that I corrected the mistake in the directions that I gave. I originally had exit 317 off of I-81 when it is actually exit 315 (Rt. 7) off of I-81.
That is what I get for driving the route in my head.

Why so few entries? 1 Miata?

[Gregg]

And it looks like I'm going ot have to withdraw the one ITA entry you have.

[Steven McWilliams Jr]

You really dont need to worry about paddock space for your trailer, there is plenty of room for a big rig like yours. But reserving a spot is a good since you'll be rolling in kind of late.

Gregg, I was going to sign up so I could beat you!(or say I got second in a pro race)

See you there, with my old calipers that might fail(but I did put new rotors on)

Good Luck,
Steven

Hey Rob - I may park down on the grass across from registration. Great view of the carousel and may be cooler. It'll be HOT this weekend.

This is one weekend where the back paddock woods is a good place to be.

[M5rokit]

Rob D did you get a garage? That field area near reg might be the right choice. Close to garages too.

[JamesB]

Gasoline alley garages are long term rentals, not per event spots.

Dropping out - got a bad cold - sucks. All the equipment is good to go - the driver is shot.

Sorry to hear that Ben - was looking forward to getting an up close of that 968 this weekend. Hope you feel better soon.

Looks like the Pro-IT portion of the event has been canceled - no Ben No Race!
