Chris VanBaalen leads points heading into mid-season kickoff!

The Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series brings highly competitive sportsman drag racing back to St Thomas Raceway Park this weekend August 4-5 for events eight and nine on the 2012 schedule.

Kevin Orr Mechanical presents the weekend which will be run in 1/8th mile format and marks the return of the TNTSS to the southwestern Ontario facility. Making this year even more exciting is that the TNTSS has not paid less than $700 to win all year.

Last year’s event winners, Andrew Stirk and Marc Vezina will be defending their titles while the championship points chase continues to heat up. Chris VanBaalen leads Jon Jablonski by a mere 17 points. Tom Coonly sits in third followed closely by Larry Pulver while David Surmatchewski rounds out the top five. The tightest battle is from 4th to 8th with only 28 points separating those five drivers.

The weekend will be highlighted by a barbeque for the TNTSS racers on Saturday night put together by Laurie Orr…including fresh burgers, sausages, hot dogs and corn on the cob. “Kevin and Laurie Orr are strong supporters of the TNTSS,” said Ted Barnes, Series Director. “It’s awesome to have folks like them involved in what we do.”

Joining the TNTSS this weekend is the Can Am Stock/Super Stock series making this a terrific weekend for the sportsman drag racing enthusiast.

Gates open at 5:00pm on Friday for weekend camping with qualifying starting Saturday morning at 10:00am. Sunday's qualifying starts at noon. Visit www.stthomasracewaypark.com for more information.
