There is not a stick and ball sport or another form of motorsports that allows race fans the opportunity to enter the “locker room”, but at Summit Motorsports Park we do!  Each admission ticket allows race fans access into the racer’s pit area.  Fans can watch crew members’ race against the clock, servicing their vehicles before their driver’s next round of competition.  And you’ll also have the chance to capture a few autographs and photographs along the way.

 

Summit Motorsports Park likes to get their fans excited, but more importantly we like to get the fans involved!  Friday night qualifying will be one such opportunity.  Five fans will be randomly chosen to be part of a panel of judges.  The judges will sit next to the race track and score the racers in Stock Eliminator and Super Stock on their ability to perform the best wheel stand during the Friday night qualifying session.  If you want to be part of our panel of judges then you need to be here!

The 2011 season was a banner year for Frank Manzo.  He not only tied John Force by winning his 15th National Event Title, he also accomplished a major mile stone in racing, by scoring over 200 career wins in his Top Alcohol Funny Car.  If that wasn’t enough, he also recorded his career best ET - 5.411 (Reading, PA 2011) and Speed – 268.06 mph (Gainesville, FL 2011).  What does Frank have up his sleeve for the 2012 season?

Bill Reichert is the owner; he’s the tuner and he’s the driver of the Rislone Top Alcohol Dragster.  Nine time divisional champion and 5 time national champion can be found in the pit area wrenching on his hot rod.  Stop by Bill’s pit area and watch him and his crew tune his dragster between rounds of competition.  

Chris Foster made it look very easy when he captured his 2nd Divisional title in three years.  He went to three straight divisional finals and all he did to clinch the 2011 Division 3 Top Alcohol Funny Car Title was win one final, which he accomplished at Summit Motorsports Park last July.   In writing, it appears his championship was an easy task to accomplish, but in reality it wasn’t.  To repeat his 2011 performance, Chris will have his work cut out for him.  

Marty Thacker is one of the nicest guys you’ll meet at the race track, but when he is in his race car you had better watch out, because the nice guy in him quickly disappears.  He’s all business when sitting in the Rapid Transit Top Alcohol Dragster.  His dedication and determination has earned him three divisional titles over the years and has given Bill Reichert and the other class competitors a run for their money.  

Each admission ticket includes access into the pit areas and General Admission Parking is FREE!
