With regards to hitting deer at Summit Point: I’m not sure of the exact year – just know that it was in the mid-to-late 1990s. During either one of the WERA or CCS races a member of Duc Pond Racing hit a deer on the front straight of Summit Point raceway. I believe it was at the start of the front straight, coming out of turn 10.

I am by no means an expert on deer but have heard of a solution that people here in the PacNW use to keep deer out of their yards. They purchase coyote or wolf urine (not sure how or from whom) and make a perimeter of it around their yard to keep them out. I’m not sure if it would work around such a large area as Summit Point, but maybe it hasn’t been thought of yet and is worth trying.

AFM used a similar solution in the 1980s–spreading mountain lion urine–after John Glover cut a deer in half with his TZ250 at Sears Point Raceway. A possible source for the stuff is http://www.predatorpee.com/…Editor
