Farmington Dragway is the latest track to be named as a host for the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Summit Sportsman Spectacular.

The double-race weekend for the IHRA’s new bracket racing program at Farmington Dragway, Mocksville, N.C. is scheduled for March 9-11, 2018.  

The races feature a $10,000-to-win payout on Saturday and a $5,000-to-win on Sunday.

Half of the 20-race schedule has been announced. Other double-race weekends include the new Xtreme Raceway Park near Dallas, March 9-11, Darlington Dragway, May 25-27, Dragway 42 in Ohio, June 8-10 and Maryland International Raceway, August 24-26. The remainder of the schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.

The IHRA Summit Sportsman Spectacular was created to produce a fun double-race weekend with increased purses that are affordable for grassroots, bracket-racing competitors who support their local tracks each week.

The weekend program includes a test & tune, racer appreciation cookout and a golf cart race.  It also features several rounds of prizes awarded to the best-losing package of 1st through 3rd rounds. IHRA Ironman trophies and large championship checks for event winners will be presented Saturday and Sunday.

IHRA partner Imagine That Customs will also award a custom painted one-of-a-kind trophy helmet to one competitor at each of the 10 weekends.
