Welcome to our
CARS & COFFEE #3
driving experience for Fall 2024
featuring
GET ON TRACK LAPS!
We start the day with a FREE traditional Cars & Coffee gathering outside the carousel of the classic 2-mile, 10-turn Summit Point Circuit. Come and show your car while checking out all the other cool cars and meeting like-minded enthusiasts! Coffee and other provisions will be available and affordable. Track time is optional but encouraged for all Cars & Coffee participants and will take place on the nearby 2-mile, 10-turn Summit Point Circuit...
We always hear that people can't drive their car on track with us because it's too complicated, time-consuming, and/or expensive. Well now we have made it as easy and affordable as possible: GET ON TRACK is just 50 bucks and can take as little as 90 minutes. There is literally no cheaper or more simple way than this to GET ON TRACK at Summit Point!
The morning and early afternoon will consist of introductory segments during which participants will receive out-of-car instruction and one session on track (approx 30 minutes of lapping at a spirited pace.) Drivers are welcome to sign up for more than one session and enjoy as much track time as possible.
These events are great for beginners to get a taste of road course driving and start learning the line at good safe speeds before moving on to trackcross competition or FATT/HPDE/track days. Just sign up online for a particular time slot, show up a little early, have a quick meeting, then get on track and have fun. It actually IS this easy!

Eligibility: All drivers and passengers must be at least 18 years old with a valid drivers license. Passengers are ok as long as they are age 18+ with a seat belt and have signed the waiver. Each entry is for one driver + one guest/passenger. Additional guests are $10 each online via this registration page or at the track that day (cashless.) NEW: pace car rides for a full Get On Track session (may also include skidpad drifting and/or J-turns) are $10 each online via this registration page or at the track that day (cashless.)
Vehicles: It is the driver's responsibility to confirm legality and assure safe mechanical condition of their vehicle at all times. It is strongly recommended that vehicles be thoroughly and routinely inspected by a reputable technician beforehand. Summit Point does not currently allow electric or hybrid-electric vehicles to participate but this may change for the future, please check back.
