It is a fun track, and easy to learn. Not as forgiving as njmp but just don't use the curb too much. They have done a lot recently to give more run off room.

They have kart track there also, which I have credits to use for instructing for FATT.

Chu said the same thing and decided not to come to Summit Point Saturday. He sat at home with nothing to do while me and Thai had a blast. You wanna be in the same position he was?

WOW! this has to be one of the worst POV crash videos I've seen.

SpecE30 racer at Road Atlanta this past weekend...

driver was ok thanks to safety equipment, but this really makes you think it could happen at anytime while on track even if the closest car is 100' in front of you.

Showing crash videos doesn't help get people on-track Marc!

videos and stories like this are part of the reason why I bought a disposable car in the first place. RA is a very fast track. Just imagine if this guy was in a 400whp EVO with NO safety equipment other than stock.

I bought it because Aaron was selling it super cheap, and I figure it will happen one day. But I have been thinking about it more and more lately though. It may sound foolish since I'm only doing HPDE, and some people may laugh, but it has its value.

Racing or not, **** happens as you said. My first track day, a Mustang and a GT3 collided. I've witnessed something at every event I've been to this year.
