About this event
UPDATE - click here to read the details email sent to registered drivers on Feb 3.
This event will feature our usual dual course "finale" layout, optional practice runs are available!
Don't miss the NINTH annual
Refrigerator Bowl Trackcross Series
for Winter 2023-24!
We are happy to bring back our popular winter series using various parts of racetrack at Summit Point Motorsports Park for the 9th time! Each date will be two half-day higher speed autocrosses without cones on different courses for two heats each. There are no work assignments (unless you choose that option for a discount) and registration will be limited so everyone gets plenty of runs. The wet skidpad may be open, touring laps during lunch may be available, and we will have a championship series with winners at the end!
Most street or race cars are welcome but must pass a safety tech inspection (click here for the form.) Car classing is basic: Street or Competition (based on tires and modifications), FWD or RWD or AWD, under 2.5L NA or over 2.5L/all FI, over or under 400hp. Or Novice class of course - these events are great for first timers. There is no cheaper or easier way to run for times on a real road course!

Event requirements
Eligibility: All participants must be at least 18 years old with a valid drivers license.
Tech Inspection: click here for the form used to tech your car. It is the responsibility of the participant to assure safe mechanical condition of the vehicle at all times. It is strongly recommended that vehicles be thoroughly and routinely inspected by a reputable technician beforehand. Refunds or credits will not be available for cars that fail tech. See note below re: convertibles.
Summit Point will no longer allow electric or hybrid-electric vehicles to participate as of April 2023, sorry!
Convertibles: Rollbars are required unless the car is factory equipped with rollover protection, and it must state such in the manual. Drivers must bring manual and present it at tech. Mazda MX5/Miata, Honda S2000, and Dodge Viper convertibles (among others) all need 4 point roll bars added. All convertibles should pass a “broomstick test” as well. Please inquire before registering if you have any question about the legality of your convertible. Sorry no refunds or credits if you register and/or show up with a convertible that doesn’t pass tech.
Helmets: Must have Snell M2010/SA2010 or newer rating and be in good condition. Rental helmets are available directly from OG Racing in advance.
Passengers: TBD per event, limited due to covid restrictions, please inquire
Weather: These events will take place “Rain or Shine, Hot or Cold” but may be rescheduled or paused for more significant weather. We will reschedule one week later only for frozen weather.
Cancellation: All sales final – no cancellation, refund, or credit. An entry is transferrable to another person for this event only and must be done by noon on the Tuesday prior for a Saturday event or noon on the Wednesday prior for a Sunday event.
Bonus Fun:
Wet skidpad @ Shenandoah will be open free of charge for registered drivers in tech inspected cars after lunch if weather allows. Please don't park in/near the skidpad (Shenandoah events only.) We also do usually offer touring lap sessions at lunchtime and/or practice runs on another course, TBA per event. We are now also offering skidpad sessions in rental Crown Victorias with instruction!
Work Assignments:
We usually need a few extra sets of hands to help with tech in the morning then start/grid/timing during each heat. We offer a half-price entry as thanks for your time. Please contact Jon Felton BEFORE REGISTERING to get the worker discount code then sign up for one of the worker spots. Note: no beginners, novices, or first-timers please - must have significant experience from our trackcrosses to get this deal.
Car Classing:
Basic car classing exists so drivers compete against those in similar cars and/or of a similar skill level. It is each competitor's responsibility to class themselves correctly and to help class all other participants correctly. Please click here for our car classing details page. If you have any questions about your power level or about which class to select, please contact Jon Felton before registering.
Waiting List: If you register as a Waiting List entry because the event is already full, we will email you by 7am Saturday (i.e. 24 hours prior) if we have a spot for you. If not, that entry will automatically be applied to the next Summit Point Trackcross.
