The Summit Super Series enters its final full month at our 86 member tracks across North America. This ultra prestigious series has only gotten more valuable with the economic issues currently in effect. Thousands of sportsman racers have been chasing a world championship by racing at their local IHRA member track. This one-of-a-kind program rewards the most money at the local and national level of any other program in existence thanks to the folks at Summit Racing Equipment. Their focus on the sportsman racer is completely in line with ours and this program continues to be the biggest asset for our member tracks.

For the competitors of in the Speed Unlimited ET Series at MIR, May 29th could have been considered moving day in the points. Due to some weather complications earlier in the season, a new double header was scheduled and with two races in one day, the chances to move up, or down, in the points were abundant. Several racers took advantage of the opportunity. Coming into the day, the Top ET points looked very congested with 5 racers tied for 13th in points, and 4 more within one round of the top 15.

2010 marks the 20th anniversary year the Miller family has owned and operated Maryland Int'l Raceway. Royce Miller, President and Promoter of MIR, stated “In some ways it just doesn't seem possible that it's been 20 years and in others it is hard to remember a time without the responsibilities and pressures of running a facility like this. Our family has grown up here right beside the many wonderful families that race here. Ashley was just 5 years old when we arrived. My mother would keep an eye on her as she handed out time slips while Linda was working the gates way over on the spectator side entrance road. Jason was 14 and Chris was 12 when we started and they worked souvenirs, gates and selling fuel. We didn’t have much to work with in the way of equipment or facility when we started, but we had determination, enthusiasm and great racers, fans and sponsors to build the MIR of today.

Maryland Int’l Raceway is available around the year for weekday testing (weather permitting of course). This is a very easy and affordable program available to racers looking for that extra edge they’re sure to get with private track time. Private test sessions are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm… 8 full hours of daylight fun! Your rental includes traction compound sprayed to the 60’ mark (additional spray can be purchased as far down the track as you need) as well as a certified Maryland EMT/Firefighter and ambulance.
