Hey 'goat, what is the name of the track with whom you're in contact, & where is it?

Inquiring minds need to know.

Summit Point, it's in West by God Virgina. Just outside Winchester, Va.. I am trying to contact them. I am betting they are closed for the Holidays. It is a very nice road course. It was the favorite track of all the Formula D Drift Drivers last year. They have several driving schools they teach as well. It is owned by BSR Racing, different BSR, used to be Bob Sharp Racing.

I'd have thought "The House of Drift" aka Irwindale.. would be the favorite...
Maybe it's sentimental anymore.

Summit Point was No. 1 because it is a very difficult course, but it sucks for spectators so they won't be back. The drivers loved it, they wrecked a lot of cars. Evergreen is No. 2.

Thanks. I've heard a lot of good things about Summit Point over the years. Very interested in what you find out from them.

I have talked to Max from RMR, they sold several of them. Just no one is speking up, I just ordered one should have it fairly soon. I got the seat belt bar too, I am installing Sparco seats and 5 point harness's hopefully by spring.

Either the Siena or the Torino would be my choices, RMR sells them and I was going to ask for advice from them before I order. My sons new GTO has the Milano Prestige in it, both seats. They came with the car.

torino's will fit will a small rub on the door panel. also you wont be able to slide the seat as much as the oem seat. as for the siena. I don't know. might fit better up top on the door panels, but im not sure how the bottom would fit. Seats are a hard thing for this car.

I just wanted to compliment you on what looks like a very cool addition for our cars. I like the fact that it's a full bar instead of two seat roll bars. I'll be watching the evolution of this product. Before I purchase, would love to see one live. That being said, anybody in Central FL that gets one, let us know where we can run into you. Look'in Good!

The Siena looks to be a bit smaller so maybe a better fit. I am glad to know the Torino's fit.

I'm liking this more and more... good looking product, decent enough price. I'm still wondering about the screw shown in the flip up flap though....

We need pictures of this with the top up and top down still, I think that will answer a lot of questions for folks and drive some sales.

Did you ever find out if this style bar would be ok to use at Gingerman? My husband and I drove over there today just to look at the track, dream and drool...I SOOOO want to get out on that track!

I was laughing and told my husband that my goal would be to get a sponsor by the time I am 50 - he said maybe the Red Hat Society Ladies would be interested!
