From a press release issued by CCS/Formula USA:

CCS at Shenandoah Cancelled October 9-10

Update (Sept 15, 2004)

The Mid-Atlantic regional Championship Cup Series event presented by Lockhart Phillips USA originally scheduled at Summit Point Raceway’s Shenandoah Circuit October 9-10, which includes a Lockhart Phillips Sport Rider Day on Octover 8, has been cancelled due to more construction delays with the new facility.

After a track inspection on Monday by Kevin Elliott – Senior Director of Road Race Competition for, the new circuit at Summit Point (with it’s SCCA mandated barrier placements), concluded that a few areas of the facility are not adequate for motorcycle racing at this time. In further conversations with Bill Scott, he has agreed to make improvements to insure the safety of motorcycle riders, but those improvements cannot be done before the October CCS date.

All CCS motorcycle events at Summit Point Raceway had been moved by Bill Scott Racing from the original 2.1 mile Summit Point Circuit to the Shenandoah Circuit in 2004 including the events scheduled for October 8-10.

Bill Scott Racing and Summit Point Raceway management expected that Championship Cup Series would have been the first group to race at the new facility when CCS motorcycle racing returned after the original construction delays at the Shenandoah Circuit on October 9-10.

Bill Scott of Summit Point Raceway commented that “We really enjoy having the CCS events here, and we are dissappointed this has happened, we will do everything we can to make sure that the future events are a success for all of us.”
