$100,000 FIREWORKS SHOW, presented by R&R AUTO BODY!
Among the longstanding traditions at Summit Motorsports Park are the explosive and encompassing fireworks offered at the conclusion of the show. Fireworks are ignited from multiple locations for improved impact, and in red, white, blue and other colors, they dance to carefully-choreographed patriotic music that is both inspired and inspiring.  Designed to be dramatic as well as delightful, they’re known to be far grander than those of neighboring cities, and just when it appears that the last of them has been seen, heard and felt, gas bombs reverberate throughout the facility, leaving fans flabbergasted.
The nearly fifteen minute spectacle costs over $125,000 to produce and leaves no wonder as to why it’s now famed and fabled.

THE NOSTALGIA PART OF THE SHOW!

NOSTALGIA PRO STOCK
Four period correct legendary Pro Stock cars will race down the quarter mile once again: Rod Shop's Colt, Warren Johnson's Firenza, Bob Glidden's Plymouth Arrow and Rickie Smith's Ford Thunderbird.

SCOTT ROD'S AA/GASSERS
Before there were funny carsthere were gassers! Eight to ten period correct, ill-handling, short wheelbase gassers will skate down the quarter-mile entertaining fans like they did back in the good ol’ days of drag racing!  Many of these hotrods will even have those famous B.U.G.s (Back up Girls) to help them stage!
This too will be a two round show, with the first round being a qualifier.  The final round will start with the slowest pair and concluding with the fastest two qualifiers racing for the gold!

NOSTALGIA DRAG RACING LEAGUE IS BRINGING THEIR 200MPH Pro 7.0 CLASS!
   •  Eight supercharged, methanol-burning and injected nitro-methane burning
   •  Front Engine Dragsters (FED), Altereds and Door Slammers
   •  1979 and older!
They will compete to be the first to the finish line, without running quicker than 7.00!

Two rounds of qualifying followed by eliminations.  Winner takes all!
