The management of the Grand Bend Motorplex and IHRA have entered into an Agreement that will make Grand Bend the site of the first IHRA Pro-Am racing event in Canada.
"We're proud to be hosting this event. The Summit Pro-Am Tour is a perfect addition to our racing season here at GBM," said Paul Spriet, Chief Operating Officer of the Motorplex. "We were honored to bring IHRA National event drag racing into Canada in 2000, and we're honored to do the same thing with the IHRA Sportsman Series."
The event will feature Summit Pro-Am points-races each day, allowing racers two chances to win points and purse in one weekend. GBM also plans to run specialty classes both days to allow every competitor to do as much racing as possible while they're on site. The double event will feature all Summit Pro-Am classes: Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Quick Rod, Super Rod and Hot Rod. Also competing will be the always popular, Super Stock and Stock classes.
Grand Bend Motorplex, the home of the Mopar Canadian Nationals presented by Castrol, is located just outside the popular resort town of Grand Bend, The track is only a five minute drive from the beaches, shops and nightlife of town, making it a popular stop for racers looking for some R & R (Racing and Relaxing).
