Please come join us for the Fourth Annual Geoff Atkinson Memorial Driver School and Club Race. We are planning a special celebration of our friend Geoff Atkinson – please come out and make this an event to remember. Our annual combined Driver School and Club race at Summit Point Raceway has become the NJ Chapter’s second tradition (behind our June race/school). Summit Point Raceway is in the rolling hills of the northeast corner of West Virginia near Harper’s Ferry. While West Virginia sounds like a long drive, for many NJ members it is, in fact, not any further driving time than to Palmer or Watkins Glen. The School and the Club Race divide track time between student run groups in the School and Race run groups. So, when you?re not on the track or in the classroom, you can take time to watch the racing. Our Saturday night barbeque at the track features great food and the chance to relax, compare what you learned on the track and swap stories.
We have rented extra track time on Saturday so we will again be running 3 student run groups – plenty of open track for all.
Please note also that we will allow open face helmets (Snell2010 or newer) for this event for driver school participants.
Club Racers: You know this is always a terrific racing event. Don’t miss it. Register here on Motorsportreg for Club Racing.
$500 Registration Fee for the Driver School
$525 Registration fee for Club Racers
