NHRA North Central Division Summit Racing Series Finals set for Sept. 13-15The qualifying phase of the season-long NHRA

Summit Racing Series is coming to a close at North Cen-tral Division tracks, and the focus now turns to the 26thannual NHRA North Central Division Summit RacingSeries Finals, Sept. 13-15 at Indianapolis Raceway Park.

Each of the track teams is to consist of a total of 48qualifiers, including a combined 40 racers with a min-imum of two or maximum of 16 in Super Pro (eighth-mile,4.50–7.75), Pro (eighth-mile, 6.40–8.99), Sportsman(quarter-mile, 13.00–19.99), and Super Pro Motorcycle(quarter-mile, 7.50–15.99). New this year will be a Youthteam championship; teams will consist of up to two highschool students and six Jr. Dragster competitors, who willbe divided into three age groups (8-9, 10-12, 13-17), witha minimum of one and no more than four in each Jr.bracket.

All qualifiers must have participated in a minimum ofthree events and appear on their track’s team roster.Each participant will be required to hold a valid NHRAE.T. bracket competition number and/or license,excluding High School racers, who will be assigned reg-istration numbers.

The event will feature the VP Racing Fuels Race of

Champions presented by CPM Racing Fuels and theMac Tools Shootout (entry open to non-Race of Cham-pions participants) on Friday afternoon. A special Dialingfor Dollars bonus will be up for grabs during Saturdaymorning’s lone time-trial session in each category beforethe first round of NHRA Summit Racing Series elimina-tions get under way at 1 p.m. The High Schoolchampionships will take place Saturday, and Jr. Dragstertime trials and eliminations are scheduled for Sunday.

A total of $5,000 in team championship bonuses willbe at stake, and a new scoring system will be imple-mented. A racer will earn his or her team one point forevery round won. The winning team will receive $1,500;second place, $1,250; third, $1,000; fourth, $750; andfifth, $500. Kil-Kare Dragway is the defending teamchampion.

Individual division champions in Super Pro, Pro,Sportsman, and Motorcycle will advance to the NHRASummit Racing Series National Championship, which willbe held in conjunction with the Automobile Club ofSouthern California NHRA Finals in Pomona inNovember. Each National Championship finalist willreceive $3,500.

We had hoped to provide the finalNorth Central Division NHRA Jeg’s All-stars team standings in this issue ofContestant Hotline, but the postponementof the final few rounds of the NHRA LucasOil Drag Racing Series event at Edge-

water Sports Park event until Saturday, Aug. 10, left us with a numberof Allstars titles to be determined at press time.

Other than defending Allstars champions Jeff Wilson (Top AlcoholDragster), Rock Haas (Super Comp), and Rudy Matthews (SuperStreet), who are automatically seeded in the field as blockers, only LarryHodge (Stock), Scott Arnold (Super Comp), Keith McPherson (SuperGas), and Dustin Richardson (Super Street) have locked up Jeg’s All-stars spots.

The Top Alcohol Dragster Allstars qualifier could be Bill Reichert orKen Perry. Chuck Cheeseman and Marc White are tied in Top AlcoholFunny Car and are on opposite sides of the semifinal round pairings atEdgewater. David Billingsley and Jerry Arnold are contenders in Com-petition, and four drivers in Super Stock have a mathematical chance ofbeing the Jeg’s Allstars representative: Ricky Decker, Bret Voges, JimboFields, and David Brun.

Once the team has been decided, members will set their sights on theJeg’s Allstars competition, which will take place Sept. 28 at the Craftsman75th Anniversary NHRA Nationals presented by Racing Champions atRoute 66 Raceway. The North Central Division Jeg’s Allstars team will beseeking its sixth team title and share of the $100,000 purse.

The 2003 Jeg’s Allstars points will begin to be tallied at the NHRA

Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at Beech Bend Raceway Park Aug.23-25.
