Thanks for posting this. As a Summit Point racer it's great to see classic footage of the track.

It's awesome to see what the track looked back in its young days and it's still going ever so strong today amazing. I go there for the races and drift nirvana and it never gets old. I hope to race there one day.

n1f1sniper it's an awesome track and you couldnt ask for better people to be the SCCA workers. I actually just raced there over the weekend in the American Sedan class (we run with gt1,2 and 3 cars). I had no clue these old videos existed until my Buddy put them up on the side of his trailer with a projector haha. it's extremely neat to see the track in it's old and prime days. If you've ever been to VIR, you definitely have to search for the video of them driving the track before rebuilding and reopening the track. was the exact same layout as now, but dirt tracks, and no building with trees all around. incredibly neat to see

Nice to see Don Meluzzio. Super nice guy, and excellent driver! As for Cruise, this video was another PR piece. Tom was never as good as the media and his handlers wanted the public to believe. As for his interactions with other drivers, there were none. He had his entourage shield him from other competitors!

How does the GT2 and GT3 classes work in relation to SCCA and Trans-Am? I love this style of sillhouette racing its the ultimate in saloon cars. Light weight, massive power mean looks....can't beat it!
