NOTICE:ET Finals & Points system changes
     
For the 2010 season we will be doing something a little diffrent with the points and ET finals qualifiying.  First on the ET Finals that will be held in Topeka again for 2010.  In order to qualify to participate this year you must run at least two (2) Summit ET races at Kearney Raceway Park, Inc. and be in our points.  This is a new requirement by the NHRA please make sure that if you are thinking about going to be signed up for points before you run any of our points meets. 

Second for the 2010 season we are going to make some changes to the points system at our track.  We have scheduled 17 points meets for the 2010 season, we are going allow 2 of these to be missed during the season.  As an example if we hold all 17 races then you will count the best 15 out of the 17 to your points total.  If we have 2 rain outs then it would be the best 13 out of 15.  In other words the total points meets held minus two (2), we are doing this after requests from races that will have to miss meets due to other activities.
 

NEW FOR 2010!
