Has anyone takin their Mini to summit point raceway, Winchester VA. If you have....did you get a chance to get on the new track, i never actually raced on it, just a tour lap...it was still being built.

In July with PDA. The new track is very tight and twisty, except for the rather long straight (when you consider the left hand sweeper as part of it). The Nurburgring clone curve is quite unique. Tough on brakes. Convinced me to go for the adjustable rear sway bar to help the car rotate through the twisty bits.

I'm glad I went and definitly recommend it.

I've been to Summit, on the 2 mile course, just some hot laps at lunch.

How'd your day go? Any unofficial lap times?
