[Jon Sarrett]

Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals to be contested on June 21-23 minus SS, STK, SC, SG, TD and TS



Due to significant rainfall, some racer pit areas of Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park will not be fit for use during the upcoming Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. NHRA officials will be rescheduling some portions of the event in order to properly accommodate competitors.


In addition to the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series (Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle), the following categories will compete at the event in Norwalk June 21-23: Pro Mod, Factory Stock Showdown, Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car.


All other categories that were slated to compete at the event will be rescheduled for another date to be determined. These categories are Super Stock, Stock Eliminator, Super Comp, Super Gas, Top Sportsman and Top Dragster. All participants may use their credentials from the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals to compete in this future event.


“While we expect pleasant weather during the actual event,” said track owner Bill Bader. “Water levels in the grassy areas will not decrease enough to provide adequate pit parking for all competitors. Mother Nature has forced our hand and it makes me sick. Sportsman racing is the foundation on which we’ve built our racetrack, you’re our valued customers and friends! It’s important that we accommodate you properly and we hope you will return when we can provide you with the wonderful experience you deserve, on solid ground.”


Ticketholders for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals may use their tickets to attend both portions of the event.



Additional details to follow regarding the date and entry process for the postponed portion of the event.
