Summit Point’s “Chute-Hairpin-Carousel” Complex

Summit Point’s main circuit was repaved last fall, which enhances an already wonderful track. The Chute through the Carousel is arguably the most challenging—and misunderstood—segment of Bill Scott’s original (there are now three) racetrack.

At Skip Barber, one of our primary goals is to use data from our computer cars to dispel myths. We experiment at every track to test conventional wisdom against the “tricks of the week” that we sometimes hear about. Data lets us be more informed and helps our drivers at tracks all over the country; physics and the stopwatch always win.
