For those not able to make the trip to sunny Florida, IHRA, Summit Racing Equipment and the host tracks of these events have again teamed up to fund the Summit Live Webcast coverage of all Summit Pro-Am tour events this season through Motormania TV. Home viewers can click on the “Summit Live Webcast” button on ihra.com homepage starting Friday. Summit, IHRA and the Summit Pro-Am Tour facilities are thrilled to lead the way in creating global exposure for IHRA sportsman racing. We know Ralph, Thomas and the Immokalee crew will start off the 2016 season on a high note.
“No matter what division you call home, we welcome everyone here at Immokalee the first weekend in February,” Hester said. “We are really looking forward to kicking off the Summit Pro-Am season once again and we are again planning a huge racer party Saturday night. We had a record turnout last year and I think we will see more growth this year as well. It is a fun weekend for us and we look forward to it each and every year. It will be a great time for the racers.”
The Summit Pro-Am Wild Card race at Immokalee Regional Raceway will be open to racers of all divisions and can be used as an in-division claim. The track, located southeast of Fort Myers, has enjoyed great weather during the February opener over the years with racers traveling to the Sunshine State from as far away as Delaware, Michigan, Indiana, the Carolinas, Pennsylvania and even Canada to participate.
The Pro-Am season opener will once again be a double point’s meet capped off with a huge racer appreciation gala Saturday night. The celebration is always one of the highlights for racers traveling to Immokalee and Hester hopes next year’s celebration will be bigger than ever.
