JULIAN, N.C. — The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Summit Sportsman National Championship returned to action June 23-25 with the eighth-stop in the 15-stop series at Piedmont Dragway.

Myron Piatek scored the weekend sweep in the Stock division, while Mark Nowicki extended his Super Stock winning streak to three races on Saturday before Emory Pierpoint took top honors on Sunday. Saturday’s Top Dragster final saw both racers match their dial-in times perfectly.

The transformation is almost complete at Quaker City Motorsports Park.

When Norm Fox bought the historic Salem, Ohio track in 2011, it was in dire need of tender, loving care. Six years later, he and the staff led by his son, A.J., have turned the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA)-sanctioned facility into a showplace for the racers in Northeast Ohio and surrounding states like Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

            If the key to success in business is doing what you love, Racing Electronics must be one of the most successful businesses on the planet.  The company’s founder Bruce Silver, first and foremost, is a race fan.  One day back in October of 1988, he was on the way home from a race when he had a brilliant idea, even if he didn’t know it was brilliant at the time.
