King of the Track

 


 

SUMMIT  KING OF THE TRACK   2012

 

The King of the Track program took on a new look in 2009 thanks to a new format that rewards racers doing well in the BIR bracket program, BIR will continue using this new format in 2012.

This new format truly crowns a King of the Track, rather than just a "King of the Day". Twenty six racers will vie for top honors.

On Saturday July 22,2012 the top two points earners in each class* will race each other to determine the class representative in the King of the Track competition. Those class winners will then race the other class winners in an eliminations format. They will be laddered by the "Best Package" performance from their class eliminations round.

The Winner will receive a King of the Track Wally trophy, a King of the Track hat, and a Championship Decal. 

*Classes competing in the King of the Track are:

Super Pro ET

Pro ET

Sportsman ET

Pro Bike/Sled

Stock / Super Stock

Comp Trophy

Street Trophy

Summit Racing Series - ET Finals

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!!

 

National Dragster Challenge

This year’s National Dragster Challenge, or "Wally Race" as the racers call it, will take place on September 8th, 2012!

The idea behind the National Dragster Challenge is to give the racers that participate in bracket categories that aren't contested at National Events the opportunity to race for their very own NHRA "Wally" trophy.  Racers in Stock, Super Stock, Super Street, Super Gas and Super Comp all have the chance of winning a Wally at a National Event. BIR racers that compete in Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Pro Bike/Sled, Comp Trophy, and Street Trophy will all have their chance at taking home their very own Wally.
