FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TNT Super Series kicks off 2012 this Friday at Dunn Tire Raceway Park
Season opener presented by Autos Direct Of Buffalo
LANCASTER, NEW YORK (April 29, 2012) The Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series (TNTSS) will kick off the 2012 season this Friday May 4th - in the same way it has for the past six years - on the 1/8th mile at Dunn Tire Raceway Park in Lancaster, New York.
Presented by Autos Direct Of Buffalo, the season opener is a welcome sight after a long, cold off-season. And for most, it can't happen soon enough. "These guys have been chomping at the bit to get back on the racetrack," said Ted Barnes, TNTSS director. "And with the increased racer payouts along with the new contingency postings, they are going to earn even more!"
Last year's event was won by Macedon, New York's Gary Stowell. Gary will bring his Vega back to TNTSS competition in 2012, along with many TNTSS regulars from across western New York and southern Ontario.
This event is also a qualifier for the Performance Improvements TNTSS Race of Champions coming up in September. "These guys work really hard to get into the ROC," added Ted. "Every race leading up to it is an opportunity to either get in the ROC or improve your qualifying position if you're already in."
"We're very pleased to have Autos Direct Of Buffalo as the season kick-off sponsor. Bill (Elekes), JJ (Jablonski and Tom (Coonly) have been very strong supporters of the TNTSS since before it began in 2007. To have them involved as the series heads into its sixth season is awesome!"
Racer gates open at 3pm with the first of two qualifying sessions at 5pm and eliminations to follow.

Based on NHRA’s Super Street & IHRA’s Hot Rod classes, competitors run on a 10.90 index in the 1/4 mile (7.00 in the 1/8 mile) and race for a guaranteed purse that pays back more than 100% of the racer's entry fees. The yearend points fund pays the top eight finishers and the Series Champion receives a prize package worth over $3500.00.
The TNTSS is committed to providing the highest level of competition backed by solid media support to showcase its participants across North America.
