Friday at the Track - 11/6/2016

Summit Point Raceway - Main

About this event

Friday at the Track (FATT) is an introduction to high speed driving.  It is an instructional event where you can bring your street car out for a day at the track.  You receive classroom instruction, skid pad instruction in our cars (including front and rear skid management), and four sessions of in-car instruction in your own car.  It is a chance to go fast and have fun in a controlled environment.

This event is held on the Summit Point Circuit.

The Summit Point Circuit is a 10-turn, 2.0-mile road course that features a 2,900-foot main straight and 400 feet of elevation change.  This original circuit opened in 1969.

The Summit Point Circuit provides challenging high speed turns with ample run-off areas and gravel traps along with a challenging and technical carousel section.  The track’s features truly make it a must destination for recreational drivers.
