Every Thanksgiving weekend, there are vintage races at the Summit Point, WV, Raceway. BRRTA usually promotes a group attendance on the Saturday sessions, depending on the weather. This year the wx was good and 5 of us showed up. Four made a caravan drive down from Rouzerville, PA and I came over from Baltimore, MD. One of the fun parts of the drive is when you go from MD to VA to WV in about 2 miles, crossing the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers just outside Harper’s Ferry.
The track is extremely accommodating; no entrance fee for vintage cars and we’re allowed to park in the paddock. The crowning perk was when my BCF friend Nial McCabe (Aeronca65t) arranged for the 5 of us to make 3 parade laps around the track during the lunch break. WOW, that was fun!!! A video was shot by one of the wives and it, along with her comments, are available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nyWDAMNz_U .
A great day with great people. All arrived home safe and unsound and ready for our next driving opportunity. We also saw BCF’r Michael Oritt and his son racing the Elvas. The pictures are Michael driving the Sportsracer.
