House of Payne Performance, headed by leading man and veteran racer Mark Payne, has been an IHRA staple for years. Consistently one of the winningest drivers on the Summit Pro Am Tour, Payne jumped at the opportunity to be a part of this year’s Summit SuperSeries dragster build by providing a starter and support for this year’s big winner.  One of the first to get on board with the 2016 build, Payne’s contribution is another key component that makes this year’s Summit SuperSeries dragster a true prize.
