After two off weeks in the Summit SuperSeries, racers from a multi-state area are expected to be in competition in one or more of the seven different race classes being offered this Sunday at Dragway 42.

With a chance to win up to $1,000 in the Milestone Services / Jeff the Plumber "Top" class or the Wind-It-Tight Engines "Mod" class for just a $25 total car and driver entry fee, some racers are choosing to 'double up' on their opportunities to cash in.

Both of these classes offer $1,000 to win with just 64 or more cars in the first round of eliminations, while still guarantying a minimum of $500 to win with a lower car count in the class.

Runner-up payout in both Top and Mod is $300 with 64 or more cars in the class and $50 to the semi-finalists. With under 64 cars in the class, the runner-up payout is still guaranteed at $200 in both classes.

Racers in Top, Mod, and Street classes earn $10 round money beginning with their 2nd round win of the day. The class winners in all 3 of these classes also receive a $25 gift card courtesy of the Summit Racing Equipment Retail Store in Tallmadge.

The 1/4 mile Pearl Road Auto Parts "Street" class offers a purse of $200 to win and $50 to runner-up while all other racers are eligible for the previously mentioned $10 round money. The full entry fee for the 12.00-19.99 dial-in "Street" class is only $20.

Dragway 42's full compliment of a trio of Junior Dragster classes will also be in competition on Sunday. The Jr. Fuel, Jr. Super Stock, and Jr. Stock classes offer the chance for youths from age 8 to 17 to be a part of the great sport of drag racing for just a $20 car and driver entry fee.

Motorcyclists are not left out during Dragway 42's Summit SuperSeries events. The brand new Manual Motorcycles "Trophy Bike" class offers both bikes and snowmobiles their own opportunity to battle for a 2 foot tall, custom trophy for the class win and a smaller custom trophy for winning 2 or more rounds of eliminations this Sunday on the $20 bike and rider entry fee.

Competitors are reminded that it is NOT necessary to be a member of the IHRA nor the track points program to participate in the Dragway 42's Summit SuperSeries events, and earn the full posted event payouts.

Racers who compete in Dragway 42's track points program have the opportunity to earn additional cash awards of up to $180 through the Summit SuperSeries and track based contingency awards programs in the six point classes in addition to the $6,000 in year end awards in the Top, Mod, and Street classes. A total of 45 Dragway 42 point racers will also be members of the 2009 edition of "Team 42" that will compete at the IHRA Division 3 Bracket Team Finals held in Pittsburgh in September.
