DUFFUS Race #3 Summit Point August 1 & 2
Hi,
DUFFUS race #3 will be held at Summit Point Raceway on August 1 & 2 as part of the Washington DC Region Formula Fest Restricted Regional. We will be running three (3) formula car groups with single class racing. We will have FF/CF DUFFUS race 3; the FV's will have their own race group and we are trying to recruit another formula car group to make three.
The race is combination weekend with a Performance Driving eXperience PDX event being held in conjunction with the formula car racing.
Each of the formula car race groups will be getting five on track sessions. The FF/CF DUFFUS entrants will have one practice session, one qualifying session and three races.
The entry fee will be $500 and we will be opening registration on or about July 1. DUFFUS entrants will get our driver suit patches, two series posters and series stickers. We will be awarding kill stickers for the podium finishers in each class in each race. DUFFUS horse's hindquarter trophies will be awarded to the podium finishers in each class in the final race of the weekend.
Since the weekend is for the PDX cars and the three formula car groups; there will be plenty of space in the Summit Point paddock. We can easily accommodate and would love to have a class for the vintage car FF/CF drivers and we are hoping that they will join us. We will provide kill stickers and trophies for the vintage drivers if they should decide to join us.
It would be really helpful if drivers who intend to come would chime in here so we can begin to get a count, so please let us know if you are coming.
Thanks,
Joe Marcinski

Updated Test Day information - please read
Hi guys:
I've just been informed that the test day will be a different flavor than usual.
For this event, the test day will be a Summit Point "Seat Time" program. However, one of the three run groups has been reserved for open wheel cars. A maximum of 34 cars will be allowed in that group. (The other groups are for Street Cars and Competition Cars other than open wheel.)
The track will NOT be open on Thursday night. Participants in the Seat Time day can enter Friday morning. Non-participants will not be allowed to enter until Friday at 6pm.
The price is still $225 and you must present your competition license, but with only three run groups, I suspect you will have more track time available than you will want.
One other note: many of you may not be aware that the bridge to the paddock was inspected recently and found to be no longer safe for heavy traffic. Only cars and light trucks are allowed over the bridge. Race trailers and 18 wheelers must get to the paddock by using the track. The track personnel will direct you to where to enter the track (Baker station) and you will go counter-race direction (via the T3 cutoff road) to Pit-Out to enter the paddock. In the morning, before the test day, it may be the case that all traffic will be directed onto the track.
