Content: The report just in from Greg Harrison of WGH Excavation =
Inc. at Summit Point Raceway with the Move the Mountain Safety Project.
Rock in the Turn 4 embankment was blasted today. A small piece of =
red,blue, and white body plastic with a 1985 AMACCS sticker was found in =
the chute area. The piece is believed to be from Bart Peterson's Yamaha =
FJ 600 when he lost control and put him and the bike into the embankment =
after turn 4! Bart did take a ride to the hospital on that one! More =
rock will be drilled and blasted tomorrow along with excavation of more =
dirt and rock. Greg said you will not recognize the old turn four when =
you come back to Summit. The track has not changed but the run-off area =
is being expanded tremendously. Hopefully Greg will take some digital =
shots and have them here for you soon. The project should be finished by =
this Thursday, May 23 when Formula USA rolls into Summit Point for the =
big Cycle Fest through Sunday the 26.=20
We are nearing our goal of raising money for the project. The =
Woodbridge Kart Club,WKC Board of Directors has pledged $5,000 along =
with the Washington DC Region SCCA kicking in $5,000. This MTM site and =
the donations from motorcycle racers and enthusiasts have raised almost =
$7,000. Thanks to everyone who has helped out in any way to make this =
project a reality. More run-off room should save many racers from =
serious injuries. We are also looking at other hazardous areas; the exit =
of turn 3, the exit of turn 9, the tirestacks at the edge of turn 8. =
With a little more time and money these areas will be addressed. Check =
out the supporters list at www.mtm.nbinteractive.com . You can donate =
