The active IHRA member who graduated from the high school Class of 2017 with the highest GPA will receive a gold card for free entry to any IHRA championship race weekend in 2018. The gold card is a prestigious award usually reserved for IHRA World Champions.

In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by the driver with the most IHRA Summit Sportsman National Championship wins. If it’s still a tie, the award will go to the person who placed highest in the point standings the previous season.

Entries should be submitted to membership@IHRA.com.

Applications will be taken until July 31, 2017, with the winner to be announced at the Summit World Finals in October.
