Summit E.T. Racing Series - July 14

Showdown Races Finally Completed Under Extreme Heat

July 14 - After four straight weeks of cancelled racing we were finally able to complete another Summit Racing E.T. Series event. Three of our rained out Showdown events were completed on Sunday with the Pro, Pro MX and Street Showdown each competing for top class payouts. Gary Rolfe Jr. (Pro), John Kuhfta (Pro MX) and Jim Smith (Street) each beat the heat and the competition to score their Showdown Wins.

Pro
In Pro it was Gary Rolfe Jr. in his '85 S-10 defeating the "Shock Doc" Jeff Parker and his '91 Camaro with a .530-initiated 12.144 at 102.02 mph pass on his 12.12 dial-in to take the win. Jeff gave chase to Gary, but his .562 light was too much to overcome Gary at the top end and ran it out a 10.933 at 114.18 mph run on his 10.88 dial for the runner-up finish. Theodore Lewis and Myles Higby each finished their day with semifinal finishes. Thanks to Affordable Carpet and Affordable Shipping for sponsoring the race and thanks to Bill Lake for putting up $150 making the winners share $1100.

Pro MX & Street Showdown June 30th

This Sunday June 30th we will feature the Street Showdown along with the Pro MX Showdown which was rained out today (6/23). All of our regular classes will also be competing for points in the Summit E.T. Series. We'll see you there.

Summit E.T. Racing Series - June 9

Talmadge, Rioscolon, Boston & English Score Pro Wins

June 9 - Today we were finally able to get our 2013 Summit E.T.Series underway and we had a perfect sunny day. We were forced to run this race 1/8 mile due to the fact that the end of the track and return road were flooded from the week's worth of rain that we endured, but noone seemed to mind we were just glad to be racing again. The new 330' concrete starting line provided plenty of hook and the racing action was great.

Super Pro
In Super Pro it was Mark Talmadge in his trusty '75 Vega scoring the win defeating Josh Speck who was driving his very fast '94 Beretta. Mark had a .514 to .528 reaction time advantage and that was the difference as both racers ran .02 off their respective dial in's. Mark ran a 6.157 at 111.45 mph on his 6.13 dial and Josh ran a 4.824 at 138.99 mph on his 4.80 dial in for the runner up spot. Howie Smith in his new dragster lost to Josh in the semi's and Joe LaRose in his new dragster lost to Mark in the semi's.
