Norwalk, OH – With the Summit SuperSeries season almost upon us, the IHRA would like to take this time to remind all racers planning to race in the 2012 Summit SuperSeries and compete for the 2012 World Championship that they must adhere to all SuperSeries rules to be eligible.

Racers planning to compete for the $200,000 year-end championship prize package awarded to the winners of the Top and Modified Summit SuperSeries World Championship must:

Step #1

Join the IHRA Summit SuperSeries which includes IHRA membership benefits, Summit SuperSeries license and request special registration number (commonly called the “X Number”). The second digit of the number will be the letter X and only IHRA can issue this number. This membership will allow you to participate in the Summit Super Series at your home track.

Should you decide to run Summit Pro Am, Nitro Jam or other sanctioned events you can simply pay the difference of the full IHRA membership at that time. If you have a full membership in IHRA that will be current through the 2012 season already, simply call and get your registration number for free.

Step #2

Step #3

Race at your local IHRA track while running your Summit Super Series X number. Your Summit SuperSeries eligibility does not begin until you register with IHRA AND run the X number as your car number at your home track. Your X number must show up on your home track point’s page all year long. Failure to run the X number on your car will make you ineligible for the Summit SuperSeries even if you have a registered X number on file with IHRA. If you are running a car in Top and another car in Mod, you must register and get X numbers for both cars.

If you follow those simple steps, all that is left is for you to become the Summit SuperSeries champion at your home track and you will have an opportunity to run at your Summit Team Finals for the right to go to the Summit SuperSeries World Championship at Memphis International Raceway in October.
