Hello everyone! It's that time again. Redline Time Attack will be visiting Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia for the 2nd year in a row. We are looking forward to this event with a lot of anticipation. Our inaugural event last year was a success and we expect this year's event to be nothing short of outstanding.

More and more top tuner companies and racers are expressing interest in coming out and being involved. We will be expanding our High Performance Driving Event on the Saturday of the event with formal instruction available to everyone (and mandatory for first timers). We're working on a much larger vendor midway and manufacturer presence this year, including representation from tire manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers.

For those of you interested in taking your car out on the track, we have kept our entry fees very reasonable for this year. The entry fee for Saturday's High Performance Driving Event is only $175 and you can expect to receive 2.5 hours of On Track time. There is no racing on Saturday, simply hot lapping and practice.

The entry fee for the Redline Time Attack on Sunday is only $200. If you want to attend both days of the event, the entry fee is only $350.

Here is a link to our registration page for the event:

We are working on a couple of ideas for a pre-event promotional date. Please visit our website for updates on what you can expect to see at the event (drivers, teams, vendors, entertainment, etc). Spectator entry fee for the event will only be $15 (good for both days)... and if you get your hands on one of our event promotional fliers, those are good for $5 off (you will also be able to download the coupon from our website).

If you have any questions for me, please post them here. You can also call us if you have a question that you need answered quickly. We hope to see some of you out at the track!

What config are you running...

 

We will be using the same configuration we used last year, as depicted on the track map displayed on the website (to include the Karussel).

 

^^ excellent question

^ Rumor had it that the configuration had changed and there would be no karussel. But that's the best part of the track!!

 

What time do the gates open so racers can get setup in the paddock on saturday?

 

The gates will open no later than 7am... but we will more than likely try to talk the track into opening the gates at 6:30am for you early birds. :-)

Here is the configuration of the Shenandoah Circuit we will be using, as visible on the website:

Is the $175 HPDE with an instructor or no? What is included as part of the $50 High Performance Driving School?

 

I'm guessing you guys mean "carousel," or is there some new German feature named a Karussel?

 

It's a replica of the "karussel" from the Ring. I'm not much of a fan of it since it tends to be unfriendly to low hanging parts of cars. Not sure if AMS could run their front splitter in there, for example.

BTW, I just signed up for this event today. My first time trial...

 

Yeah, I think the German name for the corner is "Karussell"

 

I know that both AMS and JIC ran their cars through the corner last year. They may have experienced some issues, but they both soldiered on and ran some damn fast lap times.

 

The $175 is the driver registration fee and the High Performance Driving School will actually be a formal driving school. Dedicated instructors, class room instruction, etc. We are hiring the professionals over at Get Fast to run our school for us at this event. the driving school is mandatory for all first timers and recommended for Novices or anyone else looking to get up to speed safely or wring that extra bit of time out of their car. It's worth every penny as far as I'm concerned.

 

Ok, let me get this straight. As a first timer I'd have to pay $175 for the HPDE and then register for the School for an extra $50?
