Summit Point, September 2007. After spending a couple seasons at my two local tracks, I had the chance to try something completely new. And it. Was. Awesome. Summit Point is a track that seems to have a little bit of everything, including a long front straight leading into a downhill, hairpin right for the first turn.
Through the afternoon sessions, I had been using what I thought was a mark on the track as a brake marker for turn 1. Turns out, that mark was actually a shadow, and as the afternoon wore on, it moved ever closer into T1, until I suddenly got in there way, way hotter than I thought was prudent! Summit Point is the track where I learned just how good my brakes are.
