We\u2019ll wager that 99% of the cars at your local track have at least one part that came from Summit Racing Equipment. One of those cars is probably yours.<\/p>\n
[Editor\u2019s Note: This story originally appeared in DI #190, the State of Drag Issue, in September\/ October of 2024.]<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s not hard to figure out why. Summit Racing offers thousands upon thousands of parts at fair prices, delivers those parts quickly, and backs them with excellent customer service. We\u2019ve all heard the stories about getting parts from Summit Racing in a couple days or less, and they\u2019re true. If you\u2019re at an event and need a part to keep racing, Summit Racing will even deliver it right to the track. They\u2019ve certainly earned the title of The World\u2019s Speed Shop\u00ae.<\/p>\n We wanted to know what Summit Racing has been up to lately, so we asked Jim Greenleaf, Summit Racing\u2019s Motorsports and Events Manager, to tell us what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n Summit Racing Rewards Program<\/strong><\/p>\n Summit Racing\u2019s new Rewards Program is designed to help racers get the best value for their hard-earned parts dollar.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cYou earn \u2018Speed Points\u2019 on every order you place online, by phone, or at a Summit Racing Retail Store,\u201d Greenleaf explains. \u201cYou get one Speed Point for every dollar you spend. Those convert to Summit Bucks\u00ae, which are like gift certificates that can be applied to future orders.<\/p>\n \u201cFor every 250 Speed Points accumulated, you will earn $5.00 in Summit Bucks. That can add up quickly, especially when you\u2019re refreshing a car or building a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n Signing up for the Rewards Program is easy. If you have a Summit Racing account, just click the Program opt-on box. You can also sign up on the Summit Racing website, by phone, or using the Summit Racing app. More details are at SummitRacing.com\/rewards.<\/p>\n Summit Racing My Garage<\/strong><\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing racers like doing more than actual racing, it\u2019s talking about racing. Greenleaf told us Summit Racing customers were asking for a place they could connect with like-minded gearheads, so they created My Garage at SummitRacing.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cMy Garage is a place where you can post photos, videos, and updates on your car and share them with the community,\u201d he explains. \u201cMembers set up \u2018garages\u2019 to post vehicle profiles, document projects and race results, create project wish lists, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAnd since everyone loves competition, My Garage has what\u2019s called a Mod Score. The more details, photos, and updates you add to your garage, the higher the score. Get a large enough Mod Score and you can be featured in the Popular Rides section. That\u2019s almost as good as winning a race.\u201d<\/p>\n Pro Trac Traction Compound<\/strong><\/p>\n You may have already encountered another Summit Racing initiative at your local track. Two years in the making, the company\u2019s Pro Trac Traction Compound is designed to provide maximum traction in all types of weather and more wheel speed for improved E.T.s. That helps racers, and also helps solve a big issue for track operators.<\/p>\n \u201cTraction compound has been a headache for several years. It\u2019s been hard to get and expensive when it was available,\u201d Greenleaf explains. \u201cWe developed Pro Trac as an affordable, high-quality traction compound. It improves traction as more cars run down the track to keep the groove sticky and consistent, even in cold weather. Tracks can buy in small quantities and not get locked into a long contract, which is a big deal for smaller operations on tight budgets.<\/p>\n \u201cBill Bader at Summit Racing Motorsports Park did a lot of testing for us,\u201d Greenleaf continues. \u201cHe was so happy with Pro Trac that it\u2019s now the official track compound for all SMP-produced events. Scooter Peaco at the WDRA is also a big fan, and is encouraging member tracks to use it. Judging by the inquiries we\u2019ve gotten, racers will be seeing a lot of tracks using Pro Trac.\u201d<\/p>\n Did You Know?<\/strong><\/p>\n Summit Racing was built by drag racing. We\u2019ve all seen the Summit Racing banners at the track and the red, white, and blue logo on cars like Bill Kuhlmann\u2019s Pro Mods, Greg Anderson and Jason Line\u2019s Pro Stockers, Tim and Dan Wilkerson\u2019s Funny Cars, and the Top Fuelers of Antron Brown and Clay Millican. But did you know Summit Racing has been a big supporter of sportsman racing for going on 30 years?\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2022 NHRA Summit Racing Series, the largest organized drag racing series in the US This story was originally published on October 23, 2024. <\/p>\n The post Partner Profile: Summit Racing Equipment Details Three New Initiatives for Racers<\/a> first appeared on Drag Illustrated<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019ll wager that 99% of the cars at your local track have at least one part that came from Summit Racing Equipment.
