I was thinking I'll bet that was Summit Point before I watched it. I was there for a track day when a guy in front of me took out a turkey, although it may have been a buzzard, they look the same in liquid form

Moto rider hits deer - broken leg...not pretty.
This has always been one of my biggest fears as a moto rider.  .

My brother was working with the crew during an open test day at Road America when Christiano da Matta careened into a deer. Awful ordeal. I forget who he was listening in on the radio but a fellow Brazilian driver had passed the incident and trying describe the mayhem. Was saying something like Santa or reindeer and for a moment the crew was baffled.

Was chief steward for PCA Potomac for several years in the. 90's. Never had a deer problem at Summit. A fee other critters but no carnage. The corner workers there were very good at spotting trouble

....just there last week and we had several deer episodes. One of the problems with containment at Summit Point is that there are deer colonys (herds/families) living in the infield woods, and outside the track -

Seems like that would be a pretty significant liability issue.

Scratch Summit Point off my list of tracks I want to run.
They need a deer PROOF fence, and a few hunters to rid the place of deer. That is a MAJOR problem for the track.

Retired, finally

I work out in the boonies in SC. One of my employees has managed to hit 6 deer with her car(s) in the last year, even with the deer whistles mounted on the front bumper.
Well, they were mounted on the front bumper; I think the latest deer suicide took them out.

Lucky that deer did not make it a few feet farther across the track before it was hit, or that guy would probably be dead.
