Each Summit SuperSeries track will determine a “performance Rating” winner by September 11th based on the first 30 rounds, win or lose. PR champions from each track will run each other at the Summit Team Finals in their division.  Due to the late date of the Division 1 team finals, division 1 tracks will send their PR champions to the Torco President’s Cup at Maryland International September 28-30, 2007 for their track’s run off. The champion of each run-off will advance to the World Finals.

Competitors whose tracks do not participate in the Summit Team Finals due to travel distance will have their tracks PR score measured against the other tracks that can not travel (Alaska, Aruba, etc.). The highest score from these tracks will fill two of the remaining spots for the World Finals run off. If the highest score person can not attend, we will go down the list until a competitor is found to travel to Rockingham. 

Didn’t finish first at your track? You still have a chance at the Summit World Championship!  All SSS participants that finished the year with a .601 or better PR are eligible for the end of the year lottery. Two lucky winners from each class will win the right to compete at Rockingham.  

The race for the World Championship will be run on a 1/4 mile format.  Crosstalk will NOT be used. The use of trans brakes, two steps and automated shifters in the No Box category is permitted.  If bike or sled wins they will run against cars. The competitors will be run on a ladder. The Division 1 winner runs the second lottery winner chosen, the Division 2 winner runs the first lottery winner chosen, Division 3 winner runs the “at large” winner and the division 4 winner runs the Division 5 winner. Competitors will cut cards for lane choice.

Pr = Number of rounds won divided by 30 Example – 25 round wins divided by 30 = a PR of .833
