Great Prizes, Value at IHRA Summit Sportsman Spectacular Opener Pre-Enter and Receive Sunday Free

Tuesday, 27 March 2018

The new International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Summit Sportsman Spectacular will make its debut in Louisiana next month featuring great value and an extensive prize package.

The opening weekend of races is April 20-22, 2018 at State Capitol Raceway, Port Allen, La. The races feature a $10,000-to-win payout on Saturday and a $5,000-to-win on Sunday.

But, that’s only one part of an extensive prize package.

IHRA Ironman trophies and large championship checks will be presented to event Saturday and Sunday. IHRA partner Imagine That Customswill award a custom painted one-of-a-kind trophy helmet to one competitor that weekend.

The biggest value comes for racers who pre-enter for the event. All pre-entered competitors will get a buy one / get one free offer to help kick off our 2018 season. When you pre-enter and buy an entry for Saturday’s race, you will get a free entry for Sunday’s race.

Pre-entries are available until April 9. Click here for online registration.

On-site entry fees are $150 for Saturday with a $10,000-to-win payout, $2,000 for the runner-up, $1,000 for the semifinals, and $100 per round starting with Round 3 winners.  For Sunday, entry fees are $100 (for anyone not pre-entered) with a $5,000-to-win payout, $1,000 for the runner-up, $500 for the semifinals and $100 per round starting with Round 3 winners.

In addition to having the opportunity to get two races for the price of one, the Summit Sportsman Spectacular events feature a set of unique bonus opportunities for all current IHRA Summit SuperSeries racers. There are cash bonuses for the Summit SuperSeries member that goes the furthest in eliminations or win the event. 

No Box racers run separate until one is left and the final No Box racer receives a $1,000 bonus Sunday and a $500 bonus Sunday. There is an additional $500 bonus if they are a current Summit SuperSeries member.

There is also a national contingency program that is available for all IHRA members who advance to the final two rounds each day. As part of its contingency program, Summit Racing Equipment will now pay for the win, runner-up and semifinal positions.

The weekend program includes a test & tune, racer appreciation cookout and a golf cart race.  The race weekend features prizes throughout the elimination rounds as seen below.
