In
advance of the second Summit Racing
Equipment Sportsman Spectacular
presented by AMSOIL at Maryland
International Raceway to be held the
weekend of July 13-15, the
International Hot Rod Association
(IHRA) has announced a special
“bring a friend” inventive program
for returning racers.
Any
racer who participated in the 2011
Summit Sportsman Spectacular at
Maryland who brings a new class
racer, one that did not race at the
Maryland event last year, will
receive a voucher for a free
re-entry pass if the racer should
need it. This offer is for class
racers only in the classes of Top
Sportsman, Top Dragster, Super
Stock, Stock, Quick Rod, Super Rod
and Hot Rod.
“Think
of this as an insurance policy.
Hopefully you won’t need to use the
re-entry voucher because you will
win round one, but if the
unthinkable should happen, we have
you covered,” said Skooter Peaco,
IHRA Vice President of Race
Operations. “This is our way of
saying thank you for bringing a new
racer to this event.”
All
racers have to do is contact the
IHRA and let them know who is coming
by the July 9 deadline and the
returning racer will receive a
voucher for the re-entry round if
needed.
If the
class count reaches 64 or more in
your class there won’t be a re-entry
round, so the voucher will roll over
to the 2013 Summit Sportsman
Spectacular at MIR.
In all
a grand total of $5,000 is up for
grabs in each IHRA class for winners
as the event features open fields
consisting of both IHRA and NHRA
competitors and a spot in the
year-end Summit Racing Equipment
Tournament of Champions presented by
AMSOIL up for grabs making this the
must-attend sportsman drag race of
the season.
The
Sportsman Spectacular all gets
underway on Friday, July 13 with a
test and tune for all racers
followed by a full day of qualifying
and the first round eliminations on
Saturday, July 14. Saturday’s race
will also feature a re-entry round
for first round losers to get back
into the competition if the class
car count is less than 64 cars,
however any driver that loses first
round and goes on to win the event
will not earn a berth in the
Tournament of Champions. Racers will
conclude the event on Sunday with a
huge purse, Ironman, national event
contingency and a spot in the
Tournament of Champions for IHRA
members.
Racing
will be conducted in IHRA’s seven
regular touring Pro-Am classes of
Top Sportsman, Top Dragster,
ClassRacer.com Super Stock,
ClassRacer.com Stock, Quick Rod,
Super Rod and Hot Rod with each
winner collecting a $5,000 payday.
Also in competition will be Top ET,
Mod ET and Junior Dragster.
Entry
into the event is only $200 with a
guaranteed $5,000 to win for Pro-Am
classes plus national event
contingency going to the winner in
each of the regular IHRA touring
classes.
