TNT Super Series Kicks Off Fifth Season This Weekend
Kevin Orr Mechanical presents series opener at DTRP!
CANFIELD, ONTARIO (May 1, 2011) The Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series (TNTSS) will begin its fifth season this Friday May 6th at Dunn Tire Raceway Park in Lancaster, New York. What's become one of the most competitive sportsman drag racing series in the northeast, the TNTSS is expecting to see record car counts in 2011.
Presented by Kevin Orr Mechanical, the season opener begins a twelve race battle for the highly coveted TNTSS championship title - a battle that will continue into September when a new champion is crowned.
Season five brings with it the mainstays that the TNTSS is known for - guaranteed payouts (increased to $600/win MINIMUM this year), round money, specialty awards and lucrative yearend payouts. And new for 2011, every event is an opportunity to earn a spot in the Trailer Shop/ERD TNTSS Race Of Champions.
Last year's event one winner, Mark Herbold of Elma NY, will return in his 1994 Chevrolet Corvette to defend his title - while 40 other drivers have other plans.
"Kevin and Laurie Orr are strong supporters of the series," said Ted Barnes, TNTSS Director of Operations. "They race with us all season long. We're just so pleased to have people like the Orr's involved with what we do."
"We support the TNTSS, because it is geared towards the working man," said Kevin. "It's scheduled in such a way to allow a full points series, with good payouts, stout competition and comraderie, and a great year-end awards banquet, all without tying up the whole summer chasing points. In our small way, we hope to help promote the series and attract more competitors."
Racer gates open at 3pm with the first of two qualifying sessions at 5pm and eliminations to follow. Visit www.dunntireracewaypark.com for more information and set your homepage to www.tntsuperseries.com for the most up to date series news.
