Any of the above, just looking for feedback on anyone who has been there. Looks like they have carting, hpde, SCCA track days ect. I drove by on the way to a baseball game.

I would love to take the family out karting or sneak up to the track with the m3 for a HPDE day but don't want to go without any feedback on it

A lot of mixed reviews about dominion so far. A lot of people hate on the layout of the road course. And even more people do not like their barrier wall designs/layout. I have yet to make a trip out there.

You can always just make a trip over to Summit Point

i'd prefer Summit for HPDE since the tracks are mature and have plenty of runoff areas. pavement is smooth and won't totally eat up your tires after a few sessions

Thanks for the good advice, I will have to plan a trip to summit that is what everyone local tells me as well!

I am doing an HPDE with Mercedes Club Oct 29th at summit point (Shenadoah circuit) . Don’t need to be a member and it’s a cheaper price. Check it out, a handful of local BMW CCA members are making the trip. The host is actually the guy that helps run the local bmw autocross club.

Hmmm, I might have to check this out.

How well run are the Mercedes Club events (no disrespect intended, new to the area and curious)? Are incidents par for the course or extremely rare (mostly due to mechanical issues)?

Never ran with them before but I have heard good things. Figured I would give it a shot.
