CONCORD, NC - The near 3 month wait between the second and third national event for the VEGA/TSRacing National Road Racing Series is just about over, as many sprint and laydown national competitors set their sights on the first of 2 trips to the legendary Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia this weekend for the Summit Point Nationals.
Making things even more interesting this weekend will be the absence of the full day of practice on Friday, challenging drivers to shake off the rust in their respective Saturday morning practice sessions before it’s time to play for keeps in the first of 2 days of national competition.
8 groups of racing will take place on Saturday as a large portion of the 53 national classes will take to the track, along with several Local Option Classes provided by the Woodbridge Kart Club. Included in that grouping will be a special 8th race for the Cadet Kart Class. Other Local Option classes on Saturday will be WKC Vintage Limited, Classic Controlled, Open Sprint 1, Vintage USA, and Junior CIK Lite.
On the national side, tight battles are abound in the standings. One of the many tight classes is in Stock Honda where 10 points separate series leader and Roebling Road winner Stephen Flatt from Mark Nagy in Stock Honda 1. Success has been better for Nagy on Day 2 of the program where he leads Chris Hines by 15 points.
In the Streeter Super Stands Stock Leopard class, Robert Wimmers win at Roebling Road has brought him to third in the standings behind leader Walter Troup and Jay Ellis as that battle will continue this weekend.
Emmitt Rodriguez heads to Summit Point this weekend, sporting a 24 point lead over Michael Ray in the Tag Heavy standings. While Amy Hollowells Roebling win in the Junior Sprint Lite class gives her a strangle hold on that class. Hollowell also leads the Junior Sprint Heavy standings.
Tight battles are abound in a ton of the Animal, Yamaha, and Clone classes, making the third national event of the season oh so critical in the run for the national championship.
