HOUSE SPRINGS, Mo. — It’s the final chance for racers to qualify for the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Summit SuperSeries World Finals with the Division 8 (South) and Division 9 (Raiders) IHRA Summit Team Finals.
It will be the debut of the new Division 8 at Alabama International Dragway, while the Division 9 Summit Team Finals will be at South Carolina Motorplex for the first time ever.
Alabama International Dragway features a super convenient location right off Interstate 59. It features asphalt pit areas, concessions and restrooms. There are a dozen teams representing seven different tracks in the newly formed division scheduled to participate in the event.
The multi-day event kicks off Thursday with a test-and-tune, Gamblers race and a special treat. Thanks to ProMaxx Performance, Alabama International Dragway, Brainerd Motorsports Park, and the IHRA, there will be a Racer Appreciation Skate and Pizza Party at Merry Go Round Skate Center in nearby Gadsen, Alabama.
Competitors return to the track for more Gamblers races on Friday and Saturday before Sunday’s Run for the Money and the main event. It’s truly a jam-packed weekend of action.
