Nah - I was the only one not passed; however, the session was over, so Wojo couldn't pass. I'm pretty sure I had passed everyone except Wojo - after Turn 10 - he would have passed me Super nice guy

Summit is in west virginia about 10 miles from winchester, VA.

If you go to the website www.summitpoint-raceway.com and get the schedule there are varioius "FATT" ("Friday at the track") events. They usually fill up pretty fast for the noob classes.

after you have been there a couple of times they bump you up to group 2 which fills up much slower....... after signed off you can then sign up for "seat time" or "open track".

We allready went to RA in the spring so no visit with Petit Le Mans this year .
I did race it in Denver a few weeks ago though with mixed results, I might add...

Back on topic (sorta') I did a test at Summit in the spring and ran a full race distance and indeed the car was clicking off consistant 1:15s in race trim. You guys have a big time at Summit, I am truely jealous
