For 2007 Summit Racing Equipment and Mr. Gasket team up with IHRA to sponsor the Pro-Am tour. Racers
in Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Super Stock, Stock, Quick Rod, Super Rod and Hot Rod
will compete for both Pro-Am and World Championships. These drivers make up the
backbone of IHRA drag racing with their competitiveness and skill.
Racers may attend up to eight Summit Pro-Am Divisional races and are eligible to win a
Divisional Championship. The program is designed to allow drivers to achieve
championship status and earn prize money, all the while minimizing travel. Summit Pro-Am Champions in each class will receive $1,500 and Runners-up will earn $500 each.
Champions will also receive an IHRA IronMan and an IHRA Gold Card. All of this is over
and above the World Championship Program, Points Fund, and other Bonus Programs.
Summit Pro-Am categories are also contested at the national level, where racers can
add the best five of their first eight events to their points total for the chance to be
crowned World Champion.
Summit Pro-Am Racing Classes |
|
TOP SPORTSMAN
As the class that spawned Pro Modified, Top Sportsman remains the “baddest”
sportsman class on the planet. Covering the spectrum of passenger car body styles and
power plants, Top Sportsman racers are not encumbered by displacement limitations or
customizing rules, offering some of the most radical visual and mechanical thrills in drag
racing. |
|
TOP DRAGSTER
The fastest sportsman category in drag racing, Top Dragster is also renowned as one of
the most innovative classes in IHRA. Combining dragsters and altered vintage roadsters,
the class presents handicap racing with six second, 225 mph contestants. |
|
SUPER STOCK
As the arena for factory muscle car showdowns for decades, this class spotlights some
of the most powerful production vehicles ever built. Cars run on a handicapped start, but
each must run under their sub-category’s National Index, determined by a power to
weight ratio. In addition to traditional Super Stockers, there are also sub-categories for
GT entries, front wheel drive conversions, trucks, and Super Stock production entries. |
|
STOCK
Considered drag racing’s “entry level” division, this class offers economical racing
machines in an incredibly competitive forum, with everything from 130 mph muscle cars
to 75 mph family sedans. All demand original production equipment with which the car
was marketed to the public. Cars run on a handicapped start, but each must run under
their sub-category’s National Index, determined by a power to weight ratio. |
|
QUICK ROD
The fastest of the “Rod” categories, Quick Rod offers dragsters, altereds, vintage
roadsters, coupes, and passenger cars racing with a heads up start. The objective of the
class is to beat an opponent to the finish line without going under the 8.90-second Class
Index, or 5.70 in the 1/8th mile. |
|
SUPER ROD
This class features passenger cars and vintage roadsters also competing on an even
start. Like Quick Rod, vehicles are permitted virtually any engine modification. Races are
run on a 9.90 Class Index, or 6.40 for the 1/8th mile. |
|
HOT ROD
This class may appear as an entry-level division with its slower 10.90 Class Index or
7.00 in the 1/8th mile, but it presents some of the closest competition of any category. |
