Yesterday’s points race had everything going for it including the perfect weather. The Kids Day festivities were a great success, and saw a surprisingly large turnout, particularly when it came time for the racecar rides. That event was responsible for a sea of smiling faces on everyone from the kids, to the parents, to the drivers who volunteered their cars and their driving talents to help out. Once again we want to thank all of those drivers for making the rides possible for so many kids. On a very special note, the regular racers at Summit Motorsports Park got together yesterday and gave track crewmember Tim Garman a special award plaque. We don’t know where you’d find this kind of information, but we’re willing to bet that a group of racers getting together to honor a track crew member is at least unusual, if not unheard of. Congratulations, Tim, on a very well deserved honor from those who count the most! Here are the results of yesterday’s race. (continued)

It was an eventful day to say the least. Yesterday’s points meet almost became another marathon session with a 2:00am finish, but there were an extraordinary number of competitors to contend with through the course of the race. The crew from CUDRA was responsible for a sizeable portion of the additional racers, and the Bushur (continued)

What a beautiful day for racing it was, and what racing we saw! Yesterday’s Drag News All Star Mid Season Championships and Aerospace Components King of the Track finished last night under the same clear skies under which it opened, and if the results indicate nothing else, they explain how seriously the racers took the race.

As we're sure you are aware, the only racing that got completed was the Junior Dragsters. You might say everything else was a wash out! Despite our best efforts, we have yet to find a way to control the weather. Until we do, we'll keep posting what we have. In light of that, we give you the results of the Junior Dragster race from last weekend.

What a glorious day for racing! We had a beautiful day all day yesterday and got the entire 400+ car field in before 11:00 last night. Brian Fuller was given a complimentary entry to PINKS: All Out presented by NAPA and brought to us locally by Full Throttle Kustomz. He waded through a mean field of usually unbeatable (continued)

We finally had a beautiful day and got a whole day’s worth of drag racing completed. We weren’t the only ones feeling good about the day. In the words of Chad Moss, “It was a spectacular day of drag racing.” Chad had good reason to crow. He went all the way to the semis in Moser Pro before coming up against his daughter (continued)

We finally got to finish an entire program last Saturday night without being interrupted by rain, snow, sleet, or any other kind of inclement weather. It was good to be racing! We saw the typical amount of downtime from early season mistakes and oversights. Some of the seasoned veterans even forgot to tighten all the bolts. We gave (continued)

Saturday’s racing seemed to be a bit more intense than usual last weekend. Maybe it was the high number of cars that showed up to race, or the Door Wars influence, or maybe (continued)

Last Saturday’s points race took an ominous turn when the skies clouded over, then opened up with a vengeance. After a two-hour rain delay, things got back under way. Unlike the rest of the points races this year, we did not finish up as expected or hoped, and the last of the competition saw (continued)

August 15 - While the largest number of racers were competing for points on Saturday, the largest collection of kids ever at a kids night were competing in their own right.  First they had a collection of shows and demonstrations, then came the games, followed by Delbert's 9th birthday party.  After the party came the penny pitch, where kids scrambled for pennies and looked for specially marked pennies which meant they won a mountain bike.  There were trophies for all children that participated.  Anyone who did not recieve a trophy can pick one up in Customer Service this Saturday.

August 13 - Kids Night is always a special event at Norwalk Raceway Park.  From the games, and prizes, to the many racers who give the kids a thrilling race car ride, there's always plenty to do.   On track the excitement for the racers was just as high.  With only a few points meets left, drama builds as standings change with every passing points meet.  Read More for Complete Results.

July 2- The largest single day drag race in the world has slammed shut.  The winners were exuberant, though just a little bit exhausted in the winner's circle as Bill Bader Jr. presented their commemorative 40th Anniversary Norwalk Trophy in the Winner's Circle.  This race is just as much a tale of survival as it is a test of skill, and all drivers and riders responded to the call for courage with great dignity and character.
