- The idea had merit, but in the long run, lacked longevity and support. Former IHRA President Billy Meyer had the vision to simplify sportsman drag racing, and in one fell sweep kicked the popular Modified, Super Stock and Stock eliminators to the curb They were replaced by indexed bracket divisions ranging from 7.90 to 12.90 indexes. Meyer wanted to simplify the explanation of.

Summit SuperSeries
20th ANNUAL SUMMIT SUPERSERIES
This $200,000 program is the World Championship for grass roots drag racers at IHRA member tracks. Summit Racing Equipment, the Official Mail Order Company of IHRA, presents this revolutionary program for IHRA's thousands of grassroots racers. The Summit SuperSeries World Finals will take place October 14-16, 2021 at Memphis International Raceway.
SUMMIT SUPERSERIES WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
This program will crown a true Top (Box), Mod (No Box), Sportsman and Junior Dragster World Champion. There are two ways to gain entry into the Summit SuperSeries World Finals event. A racer can qualify by either winning a Summit Super Series track championship at a participating IHRA member track OR by winning a Summit Team Finals main event class.
1) WIN THE SUMMIT SUPERSERIES AT YOUR PARTICIPATING IHRA TRACK.Each participating track will crown Summit SuperSeries track champions who will then move on to race at the IHRA Summit World Finals for the Summit SuperSeries World Championship.
Summit SuperSeries Step #1
Be a Summit SuperSeries member of the IHRA, including membership benefits, a license and a Summit SuperSeries number (X-Number). The second digit of the number will be the letter “X” or the last digit on Junior Dragsters.
If a racer runs in multiple classes, they must have a different X-Number registration for each class. A competitor may only compete with one X-Number per class at any given facility.
Summit SuperSeries Step #2
* Sign up for points at a participating IHRA Summit SuperSeries track.
Summit SuperSeries Step #3
* Race at an IHRA track while running Summit SuperSeries X-Number. Summit SuperSeries eligibility does not begin until a valid X-Number with the IHRA is obtained, used as the car number and on the track’s points list. Failure to run the X-Number or failure of that number to appear on the track’s points may make a racer ineligible for the Summit SuperSeries even if a registered X-Number is on file with IHRA. Failure to maintain a current membership will result in a deduction in points for the events the membership was expired. “Gifted Rounds” are not permitted. Racers receiving “dives” as determined solely by IHRA may be disqualified.
Summit SuperSeries Step #4
* Become the Summit SuperSeries Champion as determined by a participating track. (see your local IHRA track for details)
2) WIN THE SUMMIT TEAM FINALS MAIN EVENT CHAMPIONSHIP.
Any Summit SuperSeries competitor that has a valid IHRA membership and X-Number from at least May 1, 2021 through the respective division’s 2021 Summit Team Finals event and can win the Team Finals Main Event will become eligible for the Summit SuperSeries World Finals Championship race.
To be considered eligible after winning the Summit Team Finals main event, a competitor will be verified by IHRA as having met Step #1 through Step #3 above, no different than the Summit SuperSeries track champion. A 14-day renewal grace period will be granted for X-Number registrations that expire between May 1st and the Summit Team Finals event. If a registration is not renewed within a 14-day period from the expiration date the racer will not be eligible. There are no exceptions.
To take advantage of the Summit SuperSeries program, please see the track manager of a local IHRA track for complete membership and registration details.
PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES:
1) Summit SuperSeries points will not count until racer is registered with both IHRA and track and running valid X-Number on vehicle with it appearing in track points.
2) Racers in all classes are eligible (based on participating track's discretion).
3) A racer may compete for the Summit SuperSeries track championship at more than one track and in more than one class. Should one racer win the SSS championship at multiple tracks or multiple classes at the same track, they will declare the track or class they will represent prior to the Summit Team Finals. Once the racer selects the track or class they will represent, the racer will forfeit the SSS track eligibility at the second track or the second class.
4) A racer may only race in one class and represent one track at the SSS World Finals.
5) There will be no double entry for a competitor that wins the SSS track championship and a Summit Team Finals event. In the event a competitor wins both, regardless of class, the track championship will take precedent.
6) There are no substitutions for a Summit SuperSeries track champion or for a Summit Team Finals champion if that competitor chooses not to attend the Summit World Finals. Tracks that have a racer that forfeits eligibility for winning at two tracks or in two classes at the same track may submit the next highest valid SSS participant for eligibility consideration.
7) IHRA Motorsports employees, team members, staff and IHRA track owners/operators/managers are not eligible.

SONOMA, Calif. -- The excitement heats up on Sonoma Raceway’s drag strip with 46 days of drag racing slated for 2018.
The drag strip will entertain fans with the 10,000-horsepower machines of the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, as the Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals makes its only stop in Northern California at Sonoma Raceway, July 27-29. NHRA’s best will go head-to-head in the world’s fastest race cars with speeds over 330 mph. The weekend will feature racing in four categories, including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Sonoma’s drag strip has consistently posted some of the quickest and fastest runs of the year on the NHRA circuit. Funny Car driver Robert Hight powered to a national record speed in 2017 at 339.87 mph. Additionally, J.R. Todd secured his first career Funny Car victory, making him the first African-American to win in the NHRA Funny Car category and the second driver in NHRA history to win at Sonoma Raceway in both nitro categories. The 2018 national event will also feature the return of jet dragsters following Friday night qualifying, July 27.
The NHRA Division 7 Drag Races, presented by Korbel, sets the stage for back-to-back weekends of drag racing in Sonoma, July 21-22. The NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series returns to Sonoma where nearly 450 sportsman racers will vie for top titles in their respective classes during the fourth of seven races of the series’ schedule. The weekend also features the return of the six-second door slammers of the West Coast Outlaw Pro Modified Series, as well as Team Boddie Presents Outlaw 1/8 Racing Association with its popular Big Tire/Small Tire shootout. Saturday’s on-track activity will conclude with two fire-breathing jet dragsters.
The raceway’s popular Wednesday Night Drags program enters its 30th season this year. Attracting more than 200 drivers nightly, Wednesday Night Drags is one of the most anticipated events among local racing enthusiasts. The amateur drag racing competition runs most Wednesday evenings from March 14-Nov.14 and gives anyone with a driver license and a car that passes a simple technical inspection a chance to race down the quarter-mile drag strip. The fan-favorite Top the Cops™ program, which gives teens the chance to race against law enforcement officers, who compete in full uniform in their official vehicles on the quarter-mile drag strip, will run from April through August in conjunction with Wednesday Night Drags.
Throughout 2018, the Summit ET Bracket Drag Racing Series will feature 12 races, including the popular Memorial Day weekend and Independence Day events. These events feature five classes of sportsman competition and generally attract more than 300 competitors.
