Training: Bill Scott, Founder of Summit Point Motorsports Park and BSR Inc., Dies at 71

   Sorry to see him go, and what a legend.  BSR Inc. is one of the top security driver schools out there, and Bill definitely created an excellent product that hopefully will continue strong well into the future.  BSR is definitely on my list for driving schools, and they come highly recommended in the industry. –Matt

SUMMIT POINT, W.Va. — William H. “Bill” Scott, owner of Summit Point Motorsports Park and BSR Inc., and a 1970 Formula Vee world champion, has died, longtime friend and professional colleague Roger Lyle said Tuesday.

Scott, 71, of Middleburg, Va., died Monday. He had been battling cancer, Lyle said.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and children.

BSR Inc. trained thousands of drivers in accident-avoidance techniques, including defensive driving and counter-terrorism tactics, Lyle said. Drivers trained through BSR included those for government agencies such the CIA, the State Department and the Secret Service, as well as the U.S. Air Force and diplomatic agencies, Lyle said.

“Bill was a good man. He was a tough man. On the racetrack and off the racetrack, he was hard to beat. He was down-to-earth,” said Lyle, of Hagerstown.

Lyle is president emeritus of the Mid-Atlantic Road Racing Club, a motorcycle racing club based at Summit Point Raceway.
