MAPLE GROVE RACEWAY HOSTS TOP RACERS IN NHRA'S NORTHEAST DIVISION SUMMIT RACING SERIES
READING, Pa. -- The top bracket racers from across NHRA's Northeast division have converged on Maple Grove Raceway for the division's Summit Racing Series Finals. Top points earning drivers in four categories, Super ET, Pro Eliminator, Street and Motorcycle/Snowmobile, from tracks across the region are vying for individual and team honors and a share of the cash purse worth more than $46,000. Racers in the High School Eliminator presented by Luzerne County Community College will also run in the event and compete for trophies.
Winners in the top four categories will have the right to compete for a national championship against the winners from NHRA's other six divisions during the NHRA Finals in Pomona, Calif. Every Summit Series racer who competes in Pomona receives an additional $3,500 and they will run for a winner-take-all $5,000 purse.
Running in conjunction with today's time trials was the Northeast Division King of the Track presented by Pontiac competition. Racers who earned the title of King of the Track at their home facilities ran off against each other today for the overall title and a share of the $10,000 purse. In the end, Dave Harvey, racing for Atco (N.J.) Raceway, earned the win over Tom Harhart who is racing for Numidia (Pa.) Raceway.
Tomorrow's action will feature more time trials as well as the division's Race of Champions, slated to begin at 4 p.m. The Race of Champions is a race within a race that pits the winningest drivers from each track in head-to-head competition.
