“We are proud to support the men,
women and kids who gather at their
local IHRA tracks to participate in
the Summit SuperSeries and Sum-
mit Team Finals. It is a great feel-
ing for us to see champions from
all over the United States, Canada,
and Aruba show up in Memphis for
the Summit World Finals to race
head-to head for an IHRA World
Championship.”
“The Summit SuperSeries and

successful programs that saw an
increase with new members and
increased participation in 2018,”
IHRA Vice President Skooter Peaco
said. “The programs bring together
IHRA-member tracks and racers in
an environment which features great
competition and builds outstanding
camaraderie and lifelong friendships.
We are proud to continue our efforts
in the successful program.”
