Summit Racing Equipment

From its beginnings in 2002, the Summit SuperSeries has grown into the preeminent program for grassroots drag racing thanks to the support and dedication of Summit Racing Equipment. Designed to give racers an opportunity to compete for a world championship on the big stage at the IHRA Summit Racing Equipment World Finals through a multi-stage, year-long competition, the SuperSeries has blossomed from a small, one-class championship in 2002 to a three class competition in 2014 with well over 5,000 participants throughout the United States, Canada and beyond.

The Summit SuperSeries program features competition in Top ET, Mod ET and Junior Dragster. Providing the base for the program are the more than 100 IHRA member tracks in seven divisions. Drivers compete year-round at their local track for an opportunity to represent their home track at the Summit Team Finals. Once at the Team Finals level, drivers then compete against track champions from other IHRA facilities for the right to go to the World Finals and compete for a World Championship in their respective class.

The Summit SuperSeries World Championship consists of the best 16 racers in each category competing in a winner-takes-all championship race. Over $200,000 in cash and prizes is awarded to Summit SuperSeries participants, including a cash prize awarded to all qualified participant tracks.

Over the years this prestigious program has attracted racers from all over the world including the island nation of Aruba and from as far away as Alaska and Hawaii to compete for a Summit SuperSeries championship.

“We are very fortunate to have a great partner in sportsman racing like Summit. Their commitment to all of IHRA sportsman racing is tremendous,” said Scott Gardner, President of IHRA Motorsports. “Summit Racing supports those that support them – the hard working racers that put in all that time to be able to do what they love.

“Summit’s commitment and support for IHRA sportsman programs only helps to reaffirm that sportsman racing at IHRA will be around for a long time.”

The Summit SuperSeries program is made possible by the longtime support of Summit Racing Equipment. Headquartered in Tallmadge, Ohio, Summit Racing Equipment is the leading provider of high performance accessory and racing parts. The company has three retail store and distribution centers in Ohio, Nevada and Georgia.

Summit Racing Equipment is a major supporter of the IHRA and motorsports enthusiasts around the globe, sponsoring other major programs such as the IHRA’s Summit Pro-Am Tour, Summit Team Finals, Summit World Finals and contingency program.
