With only a few weeks left to accumulate points for the Summit SuperSeries, racers are heading to the races to try to get the number one spot at their track. 

Each track champion will square off at the Summit Team Finals in their respective division. The champion of the race will earn their way into the eight-car field of finalists who will again race for the Summit World Championship during the IHRA World Finals in Rockingham, North Carolina, on October 22-25, 2009. The World Championship race will take place during Sunday’s final professional eliminations, and will be filmed by Speed Channel and seen when the IHRA World Finals airs in the fall.
There have also been provisions made for “geographically challenged” racers to ensure that no one is excluded from the program. This program will crown a true World Champion from the ranks of the local grassroots racers at the more than 80 IHRA member tracks

All Summit SuperSeries track champions who cannot attend a Summit Team Finals because of distance are eligible for an end-of-the-year lottery.  One lucky winner will be drawn at the end of the program from any category and will win the right to join the “Elite 8.” All qualified entries will receive $1,000.00 tow money from Summit. All entries must tech in at event to receive tow money.  The race for the Summit World Championship will be run on a quarter-mile format.  The “Elite 8” will be run on a ladder, where the division 1 champion runs the division 9 champion, the division 2 East champion runs the division 2 West champion, the division 3 champion runs the division 5 champion and the division 4 champion runs the lotto winner.  If a bike or sled qualifies, they will run against cars. Payout will be; Winner $10,000.00, Runner-Up $7,000.00, Semi-finals $2,000.00, Quarter-finals $1,000.00 for Box and No Box classes.  Summit will also pay cash prizes to the first two places at each track.

September 6, 2009 is the last points meet for the tracks who are utilizing the Performance Rating and the tracks in the Wild Card Drawing. All other track’s deadline will be the Monday before their team finals. All points problems must be fixed by track before September 10, 2009. On September 11th track points are final – no exceptions.
