2012 NHRA ET Finals
Heartland Park Topeka will host the 2012 NHRA West Central Division Summit Racing ET Finals, which will feature the top amateur drag racers from 22 race tracks across the Midwest and Canada.
The ET Finals highlights the bracket drag racing programs at each track. BIR will have a team comprised of the top drivers in its Bracket Drag Racing Series who are individually selected based on their position in the points standings and their availability. They will compete against teams from tracks in the five-state area plus Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado and Canada. Teams compete in five different classes - Super Pro, Pro ET, Sportsman, Motorcycle and High School - with individual and team honors, $100,000 in prize money and contingency awards on the line. The class champions from the ET finals will be going on to Pomona for a chance to be crowned champion at the world finals!
The ET Finals also includes the Race of Champions, which is a race within a race. Each team identifies one driver in each of the five classes to represent the team in the Race of Champions. Those drivers are then paired up in an elimination format by class to determine the Race of Champions winner. The Champion winner will be next in line if the class event champion is unable to attend the Pomona World Finals! The winner of the High School Class wins a $1,000 scholarship.
Time trials are Friday and Saturday, with eliminations on Sunday. The Race of Champions is Saturday as well.
BIR has always fielded one of the strongest teams at the ET Finals.
GO BRAINERD!!
