Drive your Nissan at Summit Point Raceway

[Bubba1]

Ok, The Audi club just opened registration for their 2 day HPDE at Summit Point Raceway Sat/Sun 10/14-15. Drivers with any make car are welcome, no special requirements. If you ever wanted to try your car out on a real road race track, this is one of the safest and least expensive ways to do it. It;s not a racing school, so there's no trading paint. You go at your own pace. It's about improving your driving skills in a friendly environment with a hundred fellow enthusiasts.

For those unfamiliar with Summit Point I added the link to the track's website. It's very reachable from MD, VA, PA, NJ, NY, WV, WashDC. Audi is renting the 1.68 mile Shenandoah circuit, the 1.1 mile Jefferson Circuit ( regularly featured on Motorweek), and the skid pad. (for drifting without killing your tires)

Here's the link to the event:http://www.audiclubna.org/chap...id=55

1st timers would spend a day on Jefferson and skid pad, the a day on the Shenandoah course. It;s a lot of track time for not a lot of money. Another amazing perk are the instructor rides. Students are encouraged to ride with instructors. There are some amazing instructor cars, including a Porsche Carrera GT, to ex Busch series car, to several M3's, S4's, even a stock 350Z (ahem). Audi occasionally has celebrity instructors. Randy Pobst, for example, has attended several of these schools

There is an astonishing variety of cars that come to these schools. from bone stock civics to Cup Challenge Ferrari's. As far as Nissan's, at VIR there was an honest to goodness Skyline, and a lightly modded 240sx, in addition to my Z.

If you have a free weekend in October, for a the price of a few tires, you can get some serious track time on 2 different tracks in your own car with instruction, an event shirt, a banquet dinner, plus instructor car rides. Hope to see some of you there.
