SUMMIT RACING MY GARAGE If there ’ s one thing racers like doing more than actual racing , it ’ s talking about racing . Greenleaf told us Summit Racing customers were asking for a place they could connect with like-minded gearheads , so they created My Garage at SummitRacing . com .
“ My Garage is a place where you can post photos , videos , and updates on your car and share them with the community ,” he explains . “ Members set up ‘ garages ’ to post vehicle profiles , document projects and race results , create project wish lists , and more .
“ And since everyone loves competition , My Garage has what ’ s called a Mod Score . The more details , photos , and updates you add to your garage , the higher the score . Get a large enough Mod Score and you can be featured in the Popular Rides section . That ’ s almost as good as winning a race .”
PRO TRAC TRACTION COMPOUND You may have already encountered another Summit Racing initiative at your local track . Two years in the making , the company ’ s Pro Trac Traction Compound is designed to provide maximum traction in all types of weather and more wheel speed for improved E . T . s . That helps racers , and also helps solve a big issue for track operators .
“ Traction compound has been a headache for several years . It ’ s been hard to get and expensive when it was available ,” Greenleaf explains . “ We developed Pro Trac as an affordable , high-quality traction compound . It improves traction as more cars run down the track to keep the groove sticky and consistent , even in cold weather . Tracks can buy in small quantities and not get locked into a long contract , which is a big deal for smaller operations on tight budgets .
“ Bill Bader at Summit Racing Motorsports Park did a lot of testing for us ,” Greenleaf continues . “ He was so happy with Pro Trac that it ’ s now the official track compound for all SMP-produced events . Scooter Peaco at the WDRA is also a big fan , and is encouraging member tracks to use it . Judging by the inquiries we ’ ve gotten , racers will be seeing a lot of tracks using Pro Trac .”
DID YOU KNOW ? Summit Racing was built by drag racing . We ’ ve all seen the Summit Racing banners at the track and the red , white , and blue logo on cars like Bill Kuhlmann ’ s Pro Mods , Greg Anderson and Jason Line ’ s Pro Stockers , Tim and Dan Wilkerson ’ s Funny Cars , and the Top Fuelers of Antron Brown and Clay Millican . But did you know Summit Racing has been a big supporter of sportsman racing for going on 30 years ?
