Summit SuperSeries
20th ANNUAL SUMMIT SUPERSERIES
This $200,000 program is the World Championship for grass roots drag racers at IHRA member tracks. Summit Racing Equipment, the Official Mail Order Company of IHRA, presents this revolutionary program for IHRA's thousands of grassroots racers. The Summit SuperSeries World Finals will take place October 14-16, 2021 at Memphis International Raceway.
SUMMIT SUPERSERIES WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
This program will crown a true Top (Box), Mod (No Box), Sportsman and Junior Dragster World Champion. There are two ways to gain entry into the Summit SuperSeries World Finals event. A racer can qualify by either winning a Summit Super Series track championship at a participating IHRA member track OR by winning a Summit Team Finals main event class.
1) WIN THE SUMMIT SUPERSERIES AT YOUR PARTICIPATING IHRA TRACK.Each participating track will crown Summit SuperSeries track champions who will then move on to race at the IHRA Summit World Finals for the Summit SuperSeries World Championship.
Summit SuperSeries Step #1
Be a Summit SuperSeries member of the IHRA, including membership benefits, a license and a Summit SuperSeries number (X-Number). The second digit of the number will be the letter “X” or the last digit on Junior Dragsters.
If a racer runs in multiple classes, they must have a different X-Number registration for each class. A competitor may only compete with one X-Number per class at any given facility.
Summit SuperSeries Step #2
* Sign up for points at a participating IHRA Summit SuperSeries track.
Summit SuperSeries Step #3
* Race at an IHRA track while running Summit SuperSeries X-Number. Summit SuperSeries eligibility does not begin until a valid X-Number with the IHRA is obtained, used as the car number and on the track’s points list. Failure to run the X-Number or failure of that number to appear on the track’s points may make a racer ineligible for the Summit SuperSeries even if a registered X-Number is on file with IHRA. Failure to maintain a current membership will result in a deduction in points for the events the membership was expired. “Gifted Rounds” are not permitted. Racers receiving “dives” as determined solely by IHRA may be disqualified.
Summit SuperSeries Step #4
* Become the Summit SuperSeries Champion as determined by a participating track. (see your local IHRA track for details)
2) WIN THE SUMMIT TEAM FINALS MAIN EVENT CHAMPIONSHIP.
Any Summit SuperSeries competitor that has a valid IHRA membership and X-Number from at least May 1, 2021 through the respective division’s 2021 Summit Team Finals event and can win the Team Finals Main Event will become eligible for the Summit SuperSeries World Finals Championship race.
To be considered eligible after winning the Summit Team Finals main event, a competitor will be verified by IHRA as having met Step #1 through Step #3 above, no different than the Summit SuperSeries track champion. A 14-day renewal grace period will be granted for X-Number registrations that expire between May 1st and the Summit Team Finals event. If a registration is not renewed within a 14-day period from the expiration date the racer will not be eligible. There are no exceptions.
To take advantage of the Summit SuperSeries program, please see the track manager of a local IHRA track for complete membership and registration details.
PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES:
1) Summit SuperSeries points will not count until racer is registered with both IHRA and track and running valid X-Number on vehicle with it appearing in track points.
2) Racers in all classes are eligible (based on participating track's discretion).

3) A racer may compete for the Summit SuperSeries track championship at more than one track and in more than one class. Should one racer win the SSS championship at multiple tracks or multiple classes at the same track, they will declare the track or class they will represent prior to the Summit Team Finals. Once the racer selects the track or class they will represent, the racer will forfeit the SSS track eligibility at the second track or the second class.
4) A racer may only race in one class and represent one track at the SSS World Finals.
5) There will be no double entry for a competitor that wins the SSS track championship and a Summit Team Finals event. In the event a competitor wins both, regardless of class, the track championship will take precedent.
6) There are no substitutions for a Summit SuperSeries track champion or for a Summit Team Finals champion if that competitor chooses not to attend the Summit World Finals. Tracks that have a racer that forfeits eligibility for winning at two tracks or in two classes at the same track may submit the next highest valid SSS participant for eligibility consideration.
7) IHRA Motorsports employees, team members, staff and IHRA track owners/operators/managers are not eligible.
