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.
