About this event

Join us for a weekend on the big track at Summit Point. At this high-performance driver’s education event, the only speed limit is your own talent. Novice and intermediate drivers will have a volunteer in-car instructor to help you develop your car-handling skills – making you a better, safer driver on- and off-track.

About this track
Summit Main features the longest – and therefore fastest – straight in our DE rotation, along with some highly technical corners. The track is located in a beautiful part of West Virginia, and October is a particularly spectacular time to enjoy the rolling hills and fall foliage. Summit Point is easy to reach from DC and Baltimore and only about 3 hours from Philly.

Event basics:

  • Run groups:
    • Green: An instructed run group for drivers with little or no track experience. If you have not done at least 3 weekends at 3 different tracks, this is the run group for you.

    • White: For drivers with several seasons of experience. An instructor will be assigned to you; participation is optional but highly recommended for those who wish to work on continued improvement and advancement.
