The International Hot Rod Association Summit Sportsman Spectacular continues this weekend, June 22-24, at Keystone Raceway Park in New Alexandria, PA. The 20-race series is designed to be affordable for grassroots, bracket-racing competitors who support their local tracks.

The IHRA Summit Sportsman Spectacular events feature huge payouts of $10,000-to-win on Moser EngineeringSaturday and $5,000-to-win on Sunday including a set of unique bonus opportunities for all current IHRA Summit SuperSeries racers. Cash bonuses are up for grabs for the IHRA Summit SuperSeries member that goes the furthest in eliminations or wins the event.

Quick Time has expanded their line of bellhousings and flexplates with 10 new designs, including six bellhousings, three flexplates, and an index plate. Built to withstand even the most extreme stresses generated by high-horsepower street and race engines, Quick Time bellhousings feature patented spun-cone construction that creates twice the strength of ordinary rolled or stamped steel bellhousings. They keep the engine and transmission in perfect alignment at all rpm, eliminating accelerated drivetrain wear caused by bellhousing flex. All openings are precision-cut using a five-axis laser, and all dowel and mounting holes are drilled on a CNC machining center and are accurate to within half a thousandth of an inch, eliminating any chance of misalignment. Sixteen different patents are registered for Quick Time's revolutionary manufacturing processes, which are designed to prevent catastrophic failure of even a 29-pound flywheel spinning at more than 10,000 rpm. Quick Time flexplates are SFI-certified direct OEM replacements that significantly improve your engine's acceleration and deceleration because of their lightweight design. Designed to stand up to the punishing forces of high-stall torque converters and high-RPM engines, they're zinc-plated to protect against corrosion, neutral-balanced, and made entirely in the USA.   [06/19/18]
