Tom Cruise seemed to enjoy the experience.

My Dad was in the yellow Z #40!

Thanks for posting this. As a Summit Point racer it's great to see classic footage of the track.

+Stephanie Pryor Very cool. I remember Larry well. Very nice guy, and a fast driver. I was always at the races back then rooting for all of the Porsche teams.

Sweet, my home race track. Don Beyer Volvo, seeing that banner put a smile on my face. Love Summit Point!

Incredible footage! Never would've known that Tom raced at Summit Point, what a treat.

Wait I thought Cole was racing Open Wheels before he started nascar he didnt mention he ran GT3

It's awesome to see what the track looked back in its young days and it's still going ever so strong today amazing. I go there for the races and drift nirvana and it never gets old. I hope to race there one day.

n1f1sniper it's an awesome track and you couldnt ask for better people to be the SCCA workers. I actually just raced there over the weekend in the American Sedan class (we run with gt1,2 and 3 cars). I had no clue these old videos existed until my Buddy put them up on the side of his trailer with a projector haha. it's extremely neat to see the track in it's old and prime days. If you've ever been to VIR, you definitely have to search for the video of them driving the track before rebuilding and reopening the track. was the exact same layout as now, but dirt tracks, and no building with trees all around. incredibly neat to see

I remember when Paul Newman raced a Datsun at Summit Point ( also prepared by Bob Sharp).

brand new e30 m3 as the pace car. Awesome!!

Those BMW widebody kits are siiick

This was just before filming started on Days of Thunder.

I remember that.

2:30 - music sounds just like some Sega arcade racing, brilliant. :)

I saw a video that told the history of game’s music back then that was influenced by Japanese Jazz. So yeah it sounds like game music.

How does the GT2 and GT3 classes work in relation to SCCA and Trans-Am? I love this style of sillhouette racing its the ultimate in saloon cars. Light weight, massive power mean looks....can't beat it!

What were all those people sitting around peering at the track????

I'm not 1% surprised that Tom Cruise spun out.

Cool video. Pretty sure "1998" in the description should be "1988"...

I watched the whole video hoping to see Donnie and I was disappointed.

Tom Cruise, use your scientology witchcraft!

He's not that good of a actor either....said Paul.
