EVENT SUMMARY:
If You’ve been to One of our Track Experiences, Then You already Know what we’re talking about.
Grip’s Track experiences will give you the adrenaline rush you crave, without losing focus on every driver’s safety. We put together a fully-serviced, all-inclusive packaged, private “Track Experience” for fellow supercar enthusiasts, who share similar “gripes”— too many cars; no food options available; no access to convenient accommodations; lack of on-site service offered; etc.
Now it’s all included in our Track Experiences
NOTE: This event was exclusively designed for intermediate- and advanced-level drivers. New drivers or drivers with less experience are welcome & They will receive private instruction till they meet criteria to be SOLO CERTIFIED.

ABOUT THE FACILITY
Summit Point Raceway is only 1 hour and 15 min from the Metro DC area.
SUMMIT POINT RACEWAY 201 Motorsports Park Circle. Summit Point, WV. 25446
Grip has rented the entire facility, exclusively available to our limited number of attendees. Summit Point Circuit is a 10-turn, 2.0-mile (3.2 km) road course that features a 2,900-foot (880 m) main straight. This original circuit opened in 1969 and did not include the "Carousel", presently denoted Turns 6 and 7. In the original layout, turn 5 was a ~90-degree left-hander leading to a 90 degree right-hander at the entry to what is now denoted Turn 8. Therefore, the original layout had 8 turns (or 9 depending on how you counted them). The "Carousel" was added in the early 1970's.
