FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CANFIELD, ONTARIO (August 4, 2011) There’s only one way to get in to the Trailer Shop / ERD Race of Champions (ROC) – and that is to be an event winner in the Joe’s Transmission TNT Super Series.
There have been 44 TNTSS races since the series began in 2006 and so far, there have been 21 different winners with two new additions already this year.
The first event of its kind for the TNTSS, the Trailer Shop / ERD Race of Champions will put event winner against event winner in a classic Saturday night drag racing shootout.
“This series produces some of the toughest sportsman racers in the country,” said Carl Spiering of The Trailer Shop and ERD. “Just look at their success on the national playing field. That’s why we’re involved in the ROC. It will showcase the best of the best.”
The ROC will pay $1200 to the winner and $600 to the runner-up with free entry for the qualifiers.
