>       Content: The report just in from Greg Harrison of WGH Excavation 
>Inc. at Summit Point Raceway with the Move the Mountain Safety Project.
>       Rock in the Turn 4 embankment was blasted today. A small piece of 
>red,blue, and white body plastic with a 1985 AMACCS sticker was found in 
>the chute area. The piece is believed to be from Bart Peterson's Yamaha FJ 
>600 when he lost control and put him and the bike into the embankment after 
>turn 4! Bart did take a ride to the hospital on that one! More rock will be 
>drilled and blasted tomorrow along with excavation of more dirt and rock. 
>Greg said you will not recognize the old turn four when you come back to 
>Summit. The track has not changed but the run-off area is being expanded 
>tremendously. Hopefully Greg will take some digital shots and have them 
>here for you soon. The project should be finished by this Thursday, May 23 
>when Formula USA rolls into Summit Point for the big Cycle Fest through 
>Sunday the 26.
>       We are nearing our goal of raising money for the project. The 
>Woodbridge Kart Club,WKC Board of Directors has pledged $5,000 along with 
>the Washington DC Region SCCA kicking in $5,000. This MTM site and the 
>donations from motorcycle racers and enthusiasts have raised almost $7,000. 
>Thanks to everyone who has helped out in any way to make this project a 
>reality. More run-off room should save many racers from serious injuries. 
>We are also looking at other hazardous areas; the exit of turn 3, the exit 
>of turn 9, the tirestacks at the edge of turn 8. With a little more time 
>and money these areas will be addressed. Check out the supporters list at 
>www.mtm.nbinteractive.com . You can donate now if you like. Take care and 
>race safe!
